Compare with the original, from a few weeks back
Half of section 8, governing Congressional power over the military is removed.
Section 9 had, among other things:
- Habeas Corpus the right to get a court hearing instead of arbitrary imprisonment
- a ban on foreign emoluments for the US officials (eg: payments from foreign governments)
Section 10 reserved foreign policy for the federal government instead of the states.
What do you think os gonna happen to Canada and Mexico when the US goes full fasc? You think Canada is gonna be allowed to jut chill up there? Or do you think tabks are gonna come rolling into Toronto just like they did in Austria during the anchsluss?
I think that it’s absolutely going to be our problem, but I also believe that every person from the US just assuming we’re going to solve all their problems, while they’ve barely done anything to stop it themselves, can go fuck themselves.
They have hurt so many people and now they expect everyone to rush in and save them? Piss right the hell off.
No one here is expecting Europe to solve our problems, aside from maybe some deeply unserious liberals who think that politics begins and ends at voting. I have never seen someone suggesting the rest of the world comes in to “save” America. You’ve invented a strawman in your head and are now saying that it is what everyone in the US believes.
But America’s problems are very much the world’s problems, and as America begins to accelerate towards collapse, the rest of the world will feel the affects as well.
That’s great for you, but a) the person at the top of this thread says “the direction North America takes” and, as Canadian, excuse me, and b) I have seen others even on this platform say things like how Canada has to go save the US from itself via military intervention. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened.
Absolutely the US has made it so that as it fails catastrophically it has a lot of tools to try to take everyone else down with it and yes, I understand that means we can’t just ignore the problem, but what was once hope that we could work together to help them has turned into finding ways to untangle ourselves from them and work with more serious countries. It’s gone from “let’s treat this wound” to “there’s necrosis and we need to amputate”. The US has shown the world over and over again that it hates everyone else, that it thinks itself superior and that it has no interest in being civil about any of it. It is a dangerous and self-serving country that can barely handle the basic fundamentals of democracy and human rights and is currently going backwards at an alarming rate.
If they want to isolate themselves from everyone else, and that seems to be the goal, then let ‘em. Even though it will be hard, the rest of the world can pick up the slack. The US doesn’t deserve or need to be in charge and I don’t care how uncomfortable that makes you.
Canada has a population similar to California and a GDP that os a little over half of California’s. Anyone who thinks they could invade the US is not living in reality. It seems to me like you are in circles filled with morons. Canada and Mexico have economies that are entirely dependent on the US market. 2/3rds of Canadian trade is with the US, 97% of Canadian oil is exported to American refineries. The US doesn’t have to try and do anything to take Canada and Mexico down with us, theor fate will almost inevitably tied with ours, same as what would happen to the EU if Germany suddenly imploded. The time for Canada to insulate itself from America’s economic swings was 10 years ago.
I don’t think the American empire is a good thing and at no point have i indicated that i do. But you are delusional if you think Canada will be better off in the short term when America goes up in flames. Your best option is that the Canadian economy implodes. Your worst option is a full on fascist invasion by the US military. If America is Nazi Germany, then Canada is our Czechoslovakia/Austria. At this point, Canada is all but guaranteed to go down with the US.
I don’t think it will be better off in the short term, and have been fairly clear about that. I also said that I am fully aware how entangled everything is and that we need to work to get away from the US even though it will be difficult. It appears you are far too fucking stupid to read what has been written so explicitly and that’s just not the basis for a conversation so bye, dumbass.
