  • I would rebut by pointing out that Canada has bloodied its hands on Native Canadians and participated in American imperialism as a toady

    Yes, the racism in Canada is still all too obvious and certainly pervasive. We up here have just not been given the OK to exercise it openly like you guys down there.

    Please, save us. I’m begging you, save us however you can. We’re already suffering. It’s going to get worse no matter what we do at this point, so fight them while we have time. Please.

    I would say the only thing that will stop it is mass non-cooperation. Those in power still need (at least for now) workers to run their shit, and consumers to buy their shit. Join the general strike, prepare for many more. Talk to neighbors, friends, family. Organize, learn simple sabotage.

    The people, united, will never be defeated. The machine will grind to a stop when enough people say ENOUGH! and stop funding and participating in it.




  • Canada

    The USA was born out of genocide, grew through slavery, and has continued to prosper by economic and military exploitation of every country they can. They are an oligarchy now, and always have been. Their constitution only allowed rich white males to have a say, and that has fundamentally not changed in 250 years.

    This viewpoint has only become more clear and undeniable over the last few years.

    The destruction of the U.S. empire will accelerate as they stab more of their allies in the back.

    I have family and friends in the U.S. that I will never be able to see again.

    I have seen the steady rise of fascism in the U.S. since the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, Malcolm and all the black nationalist leaders, Nixon’s killing students, Reagan and the Bushs arming Contras and Al Queda, the systematic oppression and destruction of labor unions and the middle class, the consolidation of all power into the corporations’ hands. We are seeing the mask drop further now, but the dead skull of imperialism has been there for everyone to see, even when the blue faction is in office. They all serve capitalism, and not the people.

    Thanks for the feedback, great points!

    Fair play: they’re charging tariffs on us and now you reward them?

    I need to figure out how to make this into a concise message that someone driving by will be able to process.

    I won’t be able to start my project until the weather warms up, so I will have time to think about it.

    Thanks for the input. I will certainly be rotating signage, and trying to judge reactions. I like the emphasis on safety that your suggestions bring up, perhaps appealing to their and their families’ self-interest might make them think.

    In my opinion the time for non-extreme dialog has passed, since the ICE Gestapo are already publicly executing innocents with absolute impunity, but I understand a lot of people are not there yet.
