What? Is critical thinking not taught in schools in America anymore?
I’m guessing it’s not. Jesus you guys are beyond fucked.
It is not. Conservatives have actively opposed the teaching of Critical Thinking Skills in the schools for decades.They think it leads to questioning authority, which it does. The problem is they think that's a bad thing, when we think it's a good thing.
Your only point in this thread is to shit over everyone. The US is highly divided. The people in this thread are largely the ones trying to fight against fascism. But no, you've decided to shit on everyone so you can feel better about yourself.
Bugger off. You're not helping.
Mate, there are now 40 million of us up here that think logically the same as me. We’re tired of defending and being nice to you. Do something about it instead of bitching on social media. Look at our media if you get it. We’re no longer apologetic towards Americans. We’re frustrated and rightfully pissed off!
I’m sorry if this upsets you, but at some point you will actually have to fight your way out of this. Trump isn’t giving up power. If there’s midterms, and he loses, he’ll complain it’s rigged. He’ll declare a national emergency before that so there are no midterms.
When your army comes to our borders you can be damned sure Canadians will fight to their death to defend their freedom and sovereignty. I would gladly give my life to my country to save my family, both from inside and from external.
What are you doing?
18 months ago, nobody knew what the Democratic Socialists were. Mamdani's election, and his subsequent success, has energized them. A month ago, 30% of Democrats aligned with the DSA. Two weeks ago, a new poll put the number above 50%.
In the Midterms, we are going to see many DemSocs win, and Socialists will start taking over the Democratic Party, the way the Tea Party/ MAGA took over the Republicans.
THIS is what revolution looks like in America. It occurs slowly, over the course of several election cycles, but it is inexorable, and it will happen. We just have to ignore those who want to see us destroy the nation they despise, for their own sick entertainment.
I've already taken the time elsewhere to type what all I'm doing, so I will just not that YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT I AM DOING.
How do you think more DSA candidates are happening? People are doing things.
And you think YOU are frustrated? Try living here.
Again, you bitching at those of us who are not the fucking problem does fuck all to help.
If you're as much a part of the solution as you claim to be, why hasn't the 25th Amendment been invoked? Why haven't artticles of impeachement been filed?
Why, as an American, are you not repeating the lesson taught to you by Los Angelinos in May of 1992? The response to injustice is not "maybe we'll delude ourselves into thinking the next election will work".
You're a full decade past the time when the ballot box was the right box to solve this problem.
Wake up.
How about before you bitch about us, you take a look at fixing your housing crisis, your healthcare crisis, your problems with Alberta and Quebec and that infamous Canadian "unity"?
Wake yourself fucking up first, and meanwhile, fuck off.
Blocking your useless ass.
Also, This is who the fuck I am: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_v._Eiland-Hall
I haven't done anything that's made news since, no. But again, you can fuck off for accusing me of doing nothing.
I'm not Canadian, weirdo. Also didn't accuse you of doing "nothing". Just of deluding yourself into thinking the legal mthods are still viable. You're living in the past if you think the courts will save you from what's about to happen.
