    What’s the argument here? Is it that America has always been that? YES, WE KNOW, WE WANT THAT TO CHANGE.

      You’re canadian. Perhaps you can see it clearer,

      But americans DON’T see this. Their eyes must be pryed open.

        The land of refuge for SS division Galizien, the trucker convoy, starlight tours, etc…
        As a European I had the wrong idea that Canada was better/different, boy was I wrong.

          Canada IS in many ways better and different than america. The problem is that the bar is DISTURBINGLY low.

            true, they have more rights for their citizens, etc…
            somewhat European, but the right-wing influence is on American level.

          Perhaps there should be no “america” at all. Seems like that option would save the world from a lot of death, and destruction and economic rape.

            It depends on if you are talking about the entity or the people in the entity.

            If the former, I do not disagree. There need not be states at all in fact, as a matter of preference.

            If you are talking about the people, well, it sounds like you are talking about more death and destruction so no thanks.

              Strongest Reader in America Award 🏅

              Why don’t you re-read my comment and see if I said “America” or, “Americans”.

              Take your time, I’ll wait.

                That is very kind of you. I am a strong reader; in fact I’m not too humble to mention that I was the recipient of multiple Pizza Hut Personal Pan Pizzas in my youth, as recognition for my excellent reading skills, and so it is touching for you to recognize it.

                My fellow strong readers will be well aware that there are multiple ways for a country to cease existing. Some peaceful, and some violent.

                As thoroughly insightful, erudite, and compellingly written as that gem of a comment was, it did not specify. And given your server, it seemed prudent to seek specifics.

                Thank you for the helpful response.

                  “Communists want to kill all americans”

                  You got it buddy, I’m against human death and destruction, EXCEPT for americans somehow. Because they aren’t people? Or something?

                  Yeah that would be a weird contingency, especially because it was never stated or suggested. This strawman, conceived entirely of your preconceived notions, that you started arguing against, would indeed be illogical. Great shit sherlock.

                  So keep your medallion, you’ve earned it. And I’m glad we wasted all this time appealing to your nonsensical and delicate sensibilities. Your superior mind is exactly why commies want to kill you. You’re just too motherfuckin smart.

                    I have only been trying to clarify your view and there is no strawman so if you see that as somehow hostile or adversarial then that is very much a problem you will carry with you after I’ve forgotten this exchange.

                    Peace to you.

      It cannot change as a nation. Any movement for federal reform is a lost cause. Certain states and municipalities could change, and that is where the future is for some citizens.
