      I don’t think we were being asked to “join”.

      If I reflect on the subtext, it felt like more of a limp-dick threat from a group of entitlement-complex having old white assholes in charge of a country of under-educated, mouth-breathing, inbred racists, with a soupçon of imperialism.

        I’m not disagreeing with you, but I hope you don’t think Canada significantly fewer of those degenerates per capita than we do.

        Yours might be a slightly different flavor, and they not be as emboldened as ours – but those shitbirds are universal and will absolutely destroy Canada just like the USA if you’re complacent.

          You’re right and that’s why I’m mad now, and not after we voted in a dictator. Hindsight and a nickel will get you a cup of jack shit these days it seems.

          Xenophobia implies a phobia.

          I’m not afraid off you, and if I was, I don’t think it would be an irrational fear. Generally, on average, if we bell-curve this shit, your’re (sometimes) well-meaning idiots with far too much ego and power, who collectively need a serious serving of humble fuckin’ pie. Often you’re not even well-meaning. Nothing to be afriad of, but a blight to be assiduously avoided for ones own well being and sanity.

          As far as hate: I don’t hate Americans for being Americans. I can and will also acknowledge we have our share of maple maga; hate filled bigots with a selfish agenda.

          Futhermore, this was done to you. Over generations. But you also chose to have it done to you. Over generations.

          So: I sure hate the choices you make, but it’s not possible to do better until you know better.

            Xenophobia does not in fact imply a phobia. It is specifically the dislike or prejudice against those of other countries.

            That being said, you’re obviously justified in being pissed off at the bullshit going on right now, but that’s a very common boomer defense along the lines of “I can’t be homophobic cuz I’m not afraid of them I just hate them”
