Well said. Everyone wants to shit on the USA but no one wants to help.
The US needs to fix its own shit.
I'm certain this won't become a global issue at all.
Good thing that wasn't the attitude towards Germany in WWII.
It WAS the attitude until it started invading its neighbours.
And what has the US, the country with the most powerful military in the world, been threatening to do lately?
Keep going they’re almost there.
People don't realize most of the world turned a blind eye to hitlers atrocities and viewpoints (some even embraced them) it's only when Hitler became aggressively expansive on their territories when the world decided to step in...
Some countries waited years after that to join in.
The US didn’t join WW2 until 2.5 YEARS after it began, and Germany had to declare war on the US first. The US only declared war on Japan.
Yes, but the US wasn't the only country fighting against them.
We will burn the whitehouse down again when it’s required.
Sure you will. You're just as impotent as you say we are.
Doesn’t matter, I’m not the one living in a fascist state.
Oh also before you try to claim that was before your time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_killings Thank you for playing.
Literal shows evidence of genocide and fascism in Canada. Denies it existence thus proving they're a fascist as well. Damn pot, watch who you calling black.
I'm certain your indigenous people would love to say something on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples
Seems you Canadians aren't much better than us when it gets down to it. Hrm...
