What turns a Canadian into a Terrorist? A terrorist organization, plan and simple.

I know this for a fact, having watched a Canadian youth turned into a terrorist right before my eyes.

If you are in a car, and the tires are going flat, is it a deterministic, nihilistic, view that inevitably, no matter who the driver is, the car will soon have to come to a stop? The choice, of course, is how catastrophic the stop will be - a controlled stop or a calamitous stop?

The trouble with America is that, even if Harris won, the entire American system is still based on an adversarial, winner-take-all system. In that regard, as Obama found out, the system is inherently unstable and unsteerable. Every move Harris tried to make, would be opposed and every attempt made by the opposition to undermine it. Under such conditions, progress is impossible. But even a controlled landing is impossible. No matter how much time America had, the fundamental problem was unfixable without a complete reset. The American governance system is basically unworkable and dysfunctional. The Civil War proved it, and the Civil War never really did end.

America has to split up in order for the parts to function properly again. The two sides are basically incompatible, and divorce is the only viable solution, apart from continuing the fighting, hating, and constant battling. Prolonging the situation will only lead to both sides destroying each other.

In point of fact, when Trump is deposed by Vance, the inevitable split will accelerate. Half of America will never live under the 2025 Manifesto, and the other half will never allow it to be undone once Vance puts it in place.

Something the Americans do not want the world, and especially other Americans, to know about Canada. Canada is at the forefront of developing the next stage of clean, harmless, safe nuclear power that actually uses existing nuclear waste as the fuel.

The irony is that Canadian physicists were instrumental in developing the technology 50 years ago. It is the same technology that the Americans used in their nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. But because of ‘security concerns’, the Americans prevented the Canadians from even mentioning the technology, under fear of lifetime incarceration. It was ‘Avro Arrow’ silencing on steroids. However, these reactors were so small, that development on them could be confined to the basement of a University physics building, or even under a greenhouse. Yet not only did Canadian universities, engineers, and scientists have to deny they existed, they could not even say they do not exist, because that would acknowledge they even recognized the possibility of the technology. Yet there they were, in American submarines, clear as day evidence that they existed.

And yet the most effective and less harmful drug proven to work against inflammation and inflammatory post-op pain - CBD oil - was not only banned, but any research into its usefulness was made illegal as well.

It is credible to say that the Opioid crisis was actually a .made-in-Vietnam’ crisis, in the sense that it gained a lot of traction from the returning American Vets from Vietnam, who were horribly injured (both mentally and physically) but ignored by the American system. They had no alternative but to seek solace from their emotional as well as physical pain in opioids.

Vietnam was the worst defeat of America in their entre history, It completely destroyed America. and for absolutely no good reason. Under the same system that America tried to quash, Vietnam is now an economic and industrial powerhouse, a major exporter to America… A complete and senseless waste of American lives and resources. Moreso in that the bottomless pit for money became so all-encompassing to the American economy that funding for the entire space endeavor completely dried up, along with funding for physics research. America hasn’t won a serious Nobel prize in Physics in decades.

The problem is, Boost for Lemmy should be built in, not an add on. have a thing about apps riding on other apps riding on other apps. Eventually, security is compromised.

Almost. it is 'selling America’s future to the top 20%. It would take at least 10% to actually form a viable economy. The Roman Empire and the British Aristocracy in antiquity realized that. So has Putin, North Korea., and Saudi Arabia. The system needs a critical mass to ensure survivability and continuity

Absolutely, You have the concept down pat. They are like a ‘condom’ economy - they give you a sense of comfort, security, and safety while you are being screwed. Except for the ‘crowd funded health care’ - that is an American hangup.

Matters not, the BQ is still the most proficient at protecting sovereignty. Canada could benefit from using a lot of their tricks and techniques, including their bluster.

The problem with this software as it exists now, is that I see your message in isolation in ‘messages’, and if I want to see the context I link to the overall thread, then I would have had to scroll down through the entire thread until I found the actual post, which I just did now, but a prolific poster is just not going to do that with every response. It is a glitch in Lenny itself that leads to these confusing return replies.

No, it is not happening now because of Trump. Trump s happening now because of the way America works. No matter who was in charge, the panic and outcome would be the same. America was at the breaking point, and nothing could have prevented it. Even Obama made that clear. Individually, yes you are correct about ‘If I shot’‘’'. The reality is 'EVERYONE collectively in America is doing the shooting, because ‘shooting’ has become culturally acceptable. So holding the individual accountable for herd action is just insanity. You stop the herd action at the herd level. Changing the action of an individual just does not make a difference in herd action. When Trump is deposed, Vance will be far worse than Trump could ever be. Vance is focused. Blaming Trump just makes it easier for Vance.

So, it sounds (actually, ‘reads)’ like a treatise written by someone indoctrinated into the ‘Linux - C++’ ideology (theocracy? The Religion of IT? Way back in the ‘olden days’, we referred to ‘getting a job at IBM’ as ‘entering the Priesthood’ ). The term ‘instance’ comes directly out of the obscure-to-the-masses lexicon of C++, Please, translate your indoctrinated terminology into something more identifiable and familiar to the masses in order for us plebians to follow it.

Or at least provide a ‘definition of terms’ translation service, written without any reference to exclusively in-house terminology in the description.

Also, it would be really, really useful to modify the ‘messages’ coding such that, when clicking to link to the post in ‘messages’ to see the original post, the reader went directly to their post in the thread, instead of starting at the top and having to scroll through page after page of other irrelevant posts in order to see just the activity on their original post.

The problem is not Trump. America would be in the same predicament no matter who was leading or what party or what ideology they had. Obama hit the nail on the head when he talked about the dangers of financializing America - making money on money instead of making product. A substantia portion of the American GDP has nothing to do with generating tangible wealth, it is a result of inflating paper wealth - the value pf stocks, the price of gold, the value of real estate, the interest payments from other people on borrowed money, interest on your savings account that is only as valuable as the bank that holds the account. None of this wealth can actually buy anything tangible, except more paper wealth. Eventually, the country begins to look like Musk - on paper, enormously wealthy, but in terms of liquid money, unable to buy very much. Musk has to use his paper asset wealth to BORROW real money on, if he wants to do anything big.

Generally, Trump is not alone. All of America is just running around stupidly cuckoo crazy because they realize there is not a single thing they can do to actually stop the decline. They are in pure panic mode, grasping at anything that comes along, and panic is always chaotically unpredictable except for the nature of the outcome… All they can do is to position themselves individually so that when the country goes ‘splat’ they have a chance of surviving.

For Canada to avoid the splat, we need to put as much distance between us and the ‘splat’ as we can, instead of being at ground zero of the impact.

Precisely. Vance will use Trump’s erratic behavior as a reason to have him impeached by the mid-terms, and then Vance will fulfill his goal of becoming President.

On the contrary, it just perpetuates the problem. It does not stop the insidious creep, it just pretends it is not there. Like burying one’s head in the sand. The trick is to stop it from happening in the first place. Americans are quite adept at doing it in their own country (blocking out and filtering the influences of the rest of the world on their culture) so why can Canadians not do the same thing?

Americans make it so easy to hate them. Part of it is that Americans hate everyone who is NOT an American or American ass-kisser.

Because like it or not, having a state mass media empire controlled by a religious faction, or a person who avowedly professes to want that religious faction to dominate government policy, does not equate with an impartial view of the world.

Did you know that the University of Waterloo, Canada, is the Western world leader in quantum computing? The trick for Canada is to prevent Google and Alphabet from claiming OUR success stories and accomplishments as their own.

That s the problem. I was desperately hopping that this web site (insrtance?) would be a solution, but t seems that the Americans are so insidious, they will infiltrate ANY website. The solution s not to start a new instance the solution is to police the existing instances to keep the Americans out. As long as the Americans have access, they will dominate, period.

As a Canadian, I am completely resentful that an American would try to tell me what I want my Canadian culture to be. If we want to re-appropriate the term ‘woke’ and give it whatever meaning and inuendo we as Canadians want, that is fine with me. But to have an AMERICN define the term for us? Not so much. There is nothing wrong with the term ‘woke’ that getting rid of white supremacy will not solve. The irony of this s that the rest of the world has to be woken up to this realty before this will happen.
