Im certainly not trying to exhibit American superiority while we discuss America imploding in different fashion, however; we do implode better than anyone. We are exceptional at self sabotage.

I’m just suggesting that the world is more interconnected than you are projecting. The collapse of the dollar and us foreign policy does hurt everyone.

I’m more open to the civil war idea than you are with the idea that the fascists just consolidate power unopposed. I’m just pointing out if they take over America they will probably make an attempt for you guys next. They will probably use the new power they have to interfere in your elections.

I’m just pointing out that we will more than likely invade other countries before we collapse. It’s in the fascist playbook and it’s in the current administration’s rhetoric. I am not your enemy. I am just some dude that lives in the fucking woods waiting for the feds to pick me up for thought crimes. I don’t support this mess, but the reality is pretty dark. Trust me I’m hoping we implode before we invade too.

I wouldn’t hide behind nationalism until that possibility raises its ugly head. That’s what we did in WW2…. So maybe you guys can come Canada would be comfortable for a while, but what about the rest of the world? You’re just gonna sit there and chill while we bomb Venezuela nonstop and hope we never turn to you?

It’s a very hopeful stance to sit right next-door and hope we implode versus fund the schemes through conquest.
