To be honest, I am growing quite tired of the USA. I do not like the USA or what it stands for; Donald Trump is merely proof of what I've been saying about the country all along. I do think that countries that are buddy-buddy with the USA are frustrating as hell. As a Canadian, I've been done with their BS for so long that it's not even funny.

I actually criticise the country so much that I can genuinely say I'm a certified hater. Plus, I also believe that patriotism for being Canadian or American is celebration of colonialism; we should deconstruct these countries instead of maintaining status quo. People got genocided just so cranky old white people can cry about immigrants from India and eat hotdogs and burgers on Canada day.

I care about the fact that leaders have a huge say in everything in our lives. I do not wish for a system where I must cater to the whims of whomever is in charge.

I'm leftist but I am the first to admit that Stalin wasn't a good leader at all. For heaven's sake, his own guards were scared of him. In fact, he died because he instilled so much fear into them. Personally, I'm more of a collectivist who doesn't believe in authoritarianism.

I've been using that term for quite a while now.

I legally changed my surname to a historical family member's maiden name because I honestly don't like my family that much. It's a compromise; it's still in the family, but that name hasn't been used in nearly a century.
