    Sooooo. Canadian going out of his way to fund the us military (apparently forced but theoretically could work in canada) thinks he is not like those of us in the us going to protests and getting handled by things like gas and rubber bullets. Yup. Definately not the same.

    So what is it about Americans that makes us so inherently stupid and evil that doesn’t apply to Canadians, exactly? Or to any other country? The generalized hatred is getting old.

      Canada has much more accountability. Ireland has a better track record than the UK rushing to vote reform and labour.

        “history went differently here” is not an inherent trait. If anything, you just said “we are better because we are lucky”

          It’s not? Why is it not? History just doesn’t happen randomly. Do what do people believe and what do people value not effect their history? Does what a society value not shape its history? Does the history of a people not show the things that make up their character? What do you judge a people on if not their actions?

          Ireland was not lucky, they went through a starvation thanks to England, a rebellion to break free of British imperialism, then a civil war over how much to compromise with the UK.

            I didn’t say they didn’t work hard. They’re lucky to have had people who did that work.

            You obviously know I’m asking you for details which you won’t engage with. Which does say something toward my point. Enjoy the hate ✌️

              I’m absolutely critical of all super powers.

              USA, China, India and Russia. They all have corrupt elites controlling them.

                Your meme implies all Americans are stupid. I don’t blame you for pretending it’s only about the leadership.
