Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.

and no single person can solve the problem.

That's a big part of their problem. They keep thinking about individual actions instead of coming together and acting as a group toward a common goal.

Remember what Obama did to Occupy Wall Street? That's what happens when Americans organize. It's only worse now.

Yeah well we had “No Kings” and people came together, yet nothing happened. A few million people showed up and then went home.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No Kings was an absolute fucking joke from the start and everyone there virtue signaling is part of the problem.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 2 points 6 days ago

Well, I said that back then and everyone on here ripped me a new one 🤷‍♂️

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and then went home.

That's part of the problem.

Effective protesting isn't a "one and done" thing.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I agree. And that is why the US is done for. No one is willing to stay until we get what we want… and want is subjective.

Best to pack up and move to another country if they can.

That's practically impossible for majority of people in the USA. Even to get to Canada is a long, arduous process with lots of trips and cost associated with it if they want you.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, being a desirable person does help the process. If you’ll be a drain on their economy, you’re not likely to be accepted.

Which about a third of America is poor, poorly educated, and might not have marketable skills. Canada also seems more focused on bringing in healthcare professionals right now.

[–] velindora@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

That’s how I’m jumping the line. 😅🏥

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And a lot of people outside the USA looking in don't realize the social dynamics. I want to stop this, but a lot needs to happen first as lone wolfing just gets you labeled a terrorists and extra judicially killed.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Organizing also gets you labeled as terrorists. Just ask CAIR, and soon many others.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

True enough, but it's harder to deal with a movement that would be guerilla in its execution compared to going out blasting in a blaze of glory.
