Thatcher famously said "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money", but isn't it the best way to describe billionaires in late stage capitalism?

Go back into the history of capitalism, and every "scare" that capitalists use to maintain the system as is, happens under capitalism. The irony being that most capitalists see the end results of their greed and project it onto other systems.

Every accusation is an admission.

Canadian boycott of US travel shows no sign of slowing

Articles like this are pissing me off. They keep glossing over the reasons.

One line on "Meanwhile, he has angered Canadians with his many public comments about making their country the "51st state"."

We had Tarriffs the last time that chunderhead was president, and it didn't stop us

How about

  • Threatening our sovereignty
  • Declaration of financial war on us
  • Disrespecting us as a country and as a people
  • Betraying our relationship
  • The threat of being disappeared if we go there
  • Constant belittlement of Canada from Americans
  • A complete and total lack of understanding literally anything about Canada by most Americans

We have supported the US time and time again, even when we probably shouldn't have. We got repaid for our loyalty by betrayal.

Fuck that country.

I don't like that I have heard a non zero number of people on the Christian extreme that are cheering this on because they think that is the start of Armageddon and Jesus is coming.

Playing out that scenario for a minute. They'll be really fucking shocked when the Jesus that shows up is a brown hippie and not a white Republican in a suit and that by their rules, they're all going to the lake of fire, not the rest of us.
