... security threats don’t feel close until your windows start to shake.

So very true.

Was talking to my much-younger brother the other day and his response to me speaking about America's possible incursion was to shrug his shoulders. My bro is highly-educated and doesn't support MAGA at all, but his lackadaisical response kind of blew me away.

It is true Amaerica may not try to invade us, but it is also equally true they may ... and I'd rather be prepared for the worst than be frozen in place by its arrival.

We were on the same copium about Putin right up until 2022. Don't repeat our mistakes, be prepared.

All things that are true are equally true. But the two possibilities are not equally likely.

Annexation is not marriage. It’s rape.

Glad somebody finally said it out loud.

Anyone who supports Trump already knows that he's a rapist, and they are ok with rape. That's the world we now live in.

I'm not sure we need to waste a lot of time on the lunatics that make up that 10%. You can't get 90% approval for fresh baked cookies, or friendly golden retriever puppies. While it would be nice for there to simply be no traitors within our borders, it's not really a realistic goal.

Instead, let's celebrate that by and large we're all on the same page. Elbows up. One way or the other, old age or a bullet, we die Canadians.

There are always those that assist or even support their own genocide right until the bitter, fatal end. It is a normal human behaviour. As such, the presence of such people in no way implies that their are legitimate reasons for their position.

If fewer than 20% support something, it should be interpreted as essentially zero.

I always found this hard to believe until I heard of people dying of covid who would deny its existence right till the bitter end

Some guys genuinely enjoy having their balls crushed, Their are freaks everywhere.

First of all, we like it when it's consensual

wow drive by kink shaming uninvolved strangers for no reason

[–] OldTellus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I am not kink shaming. There's nothing wrong with freaks, I love freaks. Though I can see how that came across.

I was mainly saying there are people that want things completely alien to me, so Canadians wanting trump or to be american seems strange to most of us, but there will be people that want it. I apologize to those who take offense, that wasnt my intention.

At least CBT is consensual, those maga cosplayers want me to crush my own balls then thank them for it. Which isn't cool.

I don't think it's a cognitive bias preventing them from accurately assessing risk for a lot of these people. Based on some I've interacted with, they don't care about how much pain they experience as long as the other side feels it worse.

Others are just pure contrarians who don't put any thought into it beyond "If the radical leftist blue hairs don't want it, it's probably a good thing."

13% of Canadians are batshit insane, so this poll can be safely ignored.

I used to respect this guy but a ways back he started giving me the ick. Way worse now... Curtis Stone . I blocked his channel a ways back, but checked to see if current events changed his tune. It didn't. I am an American and I cannot fathom why anyone would want to join our insanity.

[–] Zerberr@lemmy.ca 7 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Then why are you advertising him? Didn't click on link btw

Sorry. Was just seeking insight. I may never know what would cause someone to be that way I guess.
