Knee jerk response? Demand King Charles no longer be our king.
Honest response? What's the war over? If the UK is mass killing people (they have a history of that), then the US. The US is mass killing people (they have a history of that), then thr UK.
Maybe we should grow beyond the last century's call for war better get to killing response. Maybe Canada should feel bad about its role in the Boer war, for example, or question what we should have done differently in the Korean War, and perhaps nuance needs to be done.
Maybe the two old heads of state on each side should have to fight to the death or negotiate rather than millions of the world's poor sent through generational hell so one side can have more money.
If Canada is mass killing people (they have a history of that), then fuck it all.
Agreed
I forget whom Canada mass-killed.
Do you mean other than the estimated 60% of indigenous population that died within first european contact and the ensuing cultural (and literal) genocide or do you wanna talk more specifically about the minimum 3,200 indigenous children who were killed in residential schools across Canada? Or maybe we can talk about why there are so many unsolved cases of murdered and missing indigenous women?
Tell us you don't understand the risks to our own government setup, why don't you?
Thus why I called it my knee jerk reaction. The tie in of the monarchy isn't easy or possible to get rid of in Canada, regardless of how i feel about the royals. My point more so was a British monarch immediately asks for help from a country with lower GDP and army spending without elaborating, and I don't really like him.
You see, when one says "knee jerk", per vocabulary.com it means:
Thus I'm unthinking. It's not meant to be taken seriously, inherently meaning that it's a bad or idea I haven't thought about.
