Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I'm awake. I know.
Every. Single. Other. Person. In. My. Life. Doesn't.
After Renee Good, I've basically decided to stop talking about things. I have no hope. I'm just here for the show now. Not sure if I'll be able to stomach all the "why didn't we do something" coming our way. Fuck.
Join a peaceful protest demanding justice for Good and the 9 others shot by ICE and demanding to abolish ICE this weekend (10 Jan and 11, 2026) run by Indivisible and 50501. There are a few in or near Canada. You will probably find people who care and aware of the problem, over there.
Mmmmm I am way past the point of protesting. It's preparing now. Making sure family is safe, will I fight or will I run with them, etc.
Not a sure thing all of it is needed, but things are bad enough you'd have to be stupid not to be sorting out options for invasion.
Sometimes I feel paranoid, but I think it’s just prudent now to prepare for a potential invasion.
I’m at the very least liberating myself of American tech as much as I can.
Honestly fuck everyone who thinks people are paranoid. As far as I'm concerned society is full of hopelessly ignorant, rose-colored glasses wearing robots.
Nobody paid attention in history class, and if they did, yeah things are bad but the towel warmer in the bathroom isn't working and that's....kind of a priority.
Fuck em. Grab popcorn and watch how many people you thought were smart FREAK out when it all comes for them.
Yes.
I scared the shit out of my family be explaining how easy it would be for a us invasion.
Imagine they just turn off MS office and azure to the government and military. It’s embarrassing how easily they could do that with one or two malicious software updates that just need remote activation or execute on a specific date.
Now imagine Apple and Google disable your phone by simply signing you out of iCloud and Google.
Now you have a massive country and zero communication, the government can’t function, and they can do whatever the fuck they want.
we need to stop this before it happens, all government systems, unless fully air gapped, need to run Linux.
It keeps me up at night man.
Stay safe, don't bother. Pizza still tastes good. Offline video games are still fun. Plenty of good books out there.
Don't try to change people's minds anymore, it's not good for mental health.
Just enjoy what we have left, whatever that is. And if it turns out we're just paranoid, no harm done.
It is aimed agqinst the whole world
He's attacking wherever there is oil. The largest oil reserves in the world are in:

Canada also has a lot of water that the USA could readily use, plus minerals and land that will remain farmable after the USA destroys its own by cheering on climate change.
No one in Canada should be feeling complacent right now. And yet idiot traitor Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith are cheering on the USA's violence against other countries.
Oh yeah it's the water (and the other natural resources). The oil would just be gravy.
Climate change induced end game Capitalism. We lose.
Honestly, no one is safe. He believes that he's untouchable and that the US military is at his beck and call.
Any of our nearest neighbors will the the most immediate to be affected. And any other countries that can be bullied with military force will be next.
Best solution is to sanction trump owned properties in Europe and the Americas. I would bet that trump will target Panama and Brazil because he lost branding on some buildings.
I'm surprised the article omits Trumps early direct threats to Canadian sovereignty. The article talks about people not believing the threats and then proceeds to talk about threats to other nations.
It's understandable, but the author is caught into the same problem that he sees other in. Something that was safe, or at least benign is now actively harmful. It's hard to wrap your head around that kind of change.
Is Canada going to build the independence that it needs to truly stand alone from then up to the US as this continues.
When Mexico is invaded, what will the reaction be?
When Mexico is invaded, what will the reaction be?
Hopefully the global community will lend some resources as they are doing for Ukraine.
Then again, maybe the Mexican cartels will do what they usually do when there is a challenger for their dominance.
Canada will destroy the US from within. Quickly, too.
Oh sweetheart I still hear people talking about trips to Vegas and Hawaii.
We are all in, full steam ahead towards losing our sovereignty.
Sweetheart eh?
As a toothless old man I’ll absolutely accept that, thank you.
Aww sugar tits, ain't you the bestest.
Canada is already subordinate to the US empire, this is not a new thing. Your social programs have already been eroded by decades of neoliberal policy which originated from the Heritage Foundation, the authors of Project 2025. For the love of god, you people have to become anticapitalist and decolonial at home to challenge US imperialism. When they extract more from here, it won't be facilitated through military expansion, but political and economic pressure. You have to pressure your family and friends who vote liberal or conservative, you have to be active and critical of local representatives in person as a bare minimum of political involvement, you have to be comfortable fighting the Canadian state that has always and will always operate in the interest of capital. You people take Trump as a convenient explanation for systemic failure that no individual could cause or exacerbate.
