You shouldn't. Its implosion will have a negative impact all over the world. Far-right extremists are gaining power everywhere, including in Canada.
Yep. Not to mention, that is sort of sadistic. Many innocent people are suffering and it will get worse.
It needs to get worse for a chance for people to wake up and demand progressive change, not regression. If more people need to die due to their apathy or hate, so be it. Do I like saying that? Absolutely not, nor did I expect to be living in Idiocracy.
Worse - how? By getting those concentration camps more open?
What an extremely callous and deranged thing to say
As callous and deranged as literally allowing an obvious fascist to consolidate power and declare war on those oppose him?
Totally fair! Out of 350 million people, all of them deserve the awful things that 78 million morons wanted. /s
Your username should've been InhumaneNotInAmerica
Besides clutching pearls, what else are you planning to do? What is it that you're waiting for? You're clearly unhappy with the state of things. Are you one of those just hoping it will all sort itself out? Are you waiting for someone to save you?
All the empathy in the world is going to help you exactly zero. I do feel bad for people who didn't choose this. But that doesn't mean you aren't collectively shitting the bed right now. I'm not talking about individuals. There are people trying. Not nearly enough.
Scared people who are already victims of fascism don't benefit from a conversation like this. Go find a disabled person to laugh at or something. You're fucking blocked.
Wow.
Hey, block me, too!
Are you also a victim blaming amoral sadist?
If the world is guaranteed to suck more every day from now on I reserve the right to laugh instead of cry.
I'm not so sure. The rest of the world is working as fast as it can to extracate itself from any depedence on the US. Here in Canada, we are actively finding new markets for our products and so is the rest of the world.
By the time that the US does implode, nobody will care, and hardly anyone outside the US will notice.
Our country is within range of America as it flails and thrashes on the way down. We can't escape that.
Yeah, Canada is probably less able to escape collateral damage from the US imploding than any other country. Sorry about that, you guys don't deserve it!
Don’t worry we’ll build a wall. America can go fuck itself.
Just make sure the US pays for it!
Of course neither of us can know for sure, but I personally believe that Trump/MAGA utterly failing will have a takedown effect on all those far-right parties that are very much copying its playbook.
If that happened, I'd agree with the "glad it's imploding" idea.
