The US has been fucking with Canada for a long time before Trump.
We want to get rid of daylight savings time but won’t unless Americans follow suit.
The US has literally tried to tunnel underground to steal fresh water from Canada.
American administrations have been notoriously unfriendly to NDP governments and made threats when Saskatchewan elected a far left party, claiming Canada was leaning too far into socialism.
American fuckery (and a shitty PM) killed our aviation industry, leading to a reliance on the states to purchase military aircraft.
Years ago, you guys were gonna decriminalize marijuana, and our government went completely ape shit.
And then we legalized it. Somehow society didn’t crumble.
Only a matter of time until the Trumpet is banning that again too because one of the christofascists whispering in his ear thinks society is crumbling.
They just don’t like anything that can lead to true freedom which is - people being ok with themselves. Can’t sell you a product if you’re ok with yourself.

That is covert sabotage. Which gets largely unnoticed.
Outright economic blackmail to get concessions was something reserved for the neo-colonies.
All that (except daylight savings) and more happened before I was born and I knew about it before graduating highschool. “Covert” is different from “Most Americans don’t know.”
While this is true, BadEmpanada isn’t the person to take this from. His whole shtick is defending authoritarian regimes, calling for systemic murder of all who he deems “colonizers” (while he himself would be considered one by his rules).
But this is not true. The US has pursued a relentless drive toward worldwide free trade since WWII, which accelerated after 1980. The US maintains a low- to no-tariff relationship with most countries this guy refers to as “third world nations.” The US has done plenty bad things to some of those countries over the past century, but tariffs aren’t one of them.
The US has routinely abused their position in the global market to disenfranchise and abuse nations that get on their bad side, wtf are you talking about
I’m talking about tariffs
I know you want to pretend the argument is not about economic blackmail by inserting ridiculous semantics.
It’s not even true, people have known about and hated the imperialism shit the entire time, it just wasn’t the main focus of mainstream news. It’s just another dumbass strawman argument trying to further fracture the left.
BadEmpanada does not defend Authoritarian regimes. He calls out Russia, China and America alike. Your argument is a complete strawman.
Well the guy in the tweet himself is making terrible false arguments for no other purpose than to divide the left, so it’s pretty fucking easy to believe that he would defend authoritarians.
Your lack of knowledge (and likely willful ignorance) about US imperialism does not invalidate his argument.
If anything you proved his point.
I am well aware of us imperialism. I was referring to the idea that nobody else knows about it either which is patently false.
I’m sorry you’re just buying into bullshit arguments because it makes you feel smart.
I like how you confidently said that his arguments are false without providing any evidence. And now have moved on to ad-homineming me as well.
Do not feel pressured to address the actual argument. Instead I recommend insulting my entire instance next. Try making a correlation to a threaded armored vehicle that is certain to win over the crowd.
“Liberals are now finding out…”
“Liberals are starting to understand…”
“Liberals are finally waking up to the fact…”
Fuck anyone who talks like this. The left has been awake and aware of what’s going on for a LONG fucking time now. We are also unfortunately aware that we are essentially powerless to stop it. Don’t fucking pretend like liberals were blindsided by any of this or had their head in the sand. We saw this coming from a long ways away at a glacial pace and tried our damnedest to inform people and take action. We just happen to also be tied to a stake and gagged, so it’s not been very effective.

💀
Can you explain the joke?
They did not take action. Instead they advocated to continue only oppressing third world countries.
Man, I sure have been to a lot of protests over something american liberals aren’t supposed to have noticed up until now…
I’m guessing most of those were not organized by liberals, at least not in the way that OP meant.
Lolno.
Elite privilege is very much in play I’m afraid.
