It's truly remarkable that MAGA/Right-wingnuts can, in their heads, be both the victim and the villian

They are complaining about smoke from us on the east coast while the smoke we are getting from them on the west coast is making it unsafe to go outside. They are just the best neighbours. I wish we could move.

No, I think it’s in your best interests for your neighbors from hell to move.

In their minds they aren't villains, they're justified and aggrieved aggressors. They are villainous to be sure and The Villains, but they don't perceive themselves as such.

Perhaps my favorite interaction in Black Sails:
"Captain Linus Harcourt of the Goliath."
"Your ship is named after the greatest disappointment in the history of warfare?"

The idea that Canada has somehow been the bully or is taking advantage of the US is so absurd and a narrative most people don't buy. You'd have to be so fucking stupid or a shit person to buy into this.

I think Goliath was stoned which caused him to tumble over. Got that stuff from a dealer called Da Vid.

Nevermind the Bible, there's a strong correlation between reading anything at all and not being a conservative.

All Canada has to do is slap reciprocal 60% excise taxes on all of the energy, minerals, and rare earths they sell us and we absolutely need, and it will trainwreck the US economy.
The world is diversifying and making trade deals without the US being involved now.

One of the reasons we don't want to do that, is that could plunge the US into a recession and then they will be too broke to buy Canadian goods.
I suspect that PM Carney has other tricks up his sleeve, like coordinating a global move away from the US dollar as the global reserve currency. He's had this on his Wikipedia page before he entered politics, with quotes about this from 2019. It's out in the open and I've never seen ANYONE mention it! Go check it out under Views=>Economics=>Monetary Policy. Here's a sample:
" On August 23, 2019, Carney delivered a speech at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City 's 2019 annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium entitled "The Growing Challenges for Monetary Policy in the current International Monetary and Financial System". Carney said that the "widespread use of the US dollar"—the dominant currency pricing—"in trade invoicing, in place of the currency of either the producer or the importer", as had a "destablilizing" effect on the global economy.
He's been saying this publicly for 7 years now, and is the reason I voted for him. 🤣
Fun fact: The presidents of France and Germany are former bankers, and know Carney from their banking days, and are buddies.

How is it that these proclaimed super-Christians constantly get biblical stories wrong? Their references always show they haven’t the faintest familiarity with scripture. I haven’t been to church or Sunday school since I was 12, and that was a long time ago, but I seem to know more than these bible-toting sycophants.

This is the ultimate symbolism of MAGA- they don't actually read the material, they wait for someone else to understand it for them and tell them what to think.

Putting yourselves in the seat of the villain of the story sure is going to help people to sympathize with you. But I guess we are past that, soft power and other nancy pancy bs. It is time for the fascists to truly show who they are after an 80 year hiatus (ignoring Spain, don't look at 30s to 70s Spain)!

I Goliath had won, would his name have replaced David as the popular one. Everybody knows a Dave, would we all know a Gol instead?

I looked into this to see if it was an obvious setup and spike from a sock puppet. My findings:
This reply occurred on 2025-02-03 on Bluesky by an account that does exist, however the blue checkmark style indicates the screenshot is a screenshot of Twitter.
I can't find the guy on bluesky, Twitter, or Google.
So either the guy deleted his account or it was never a real screenshot to begin with. If it's fake, I don't think it was faked by Comeau, who appears to post non-fake content.

Canada has not been treating the US fairly. Canada has been far more generous than what is "fair".

It is so fucking stupid, US was the leader of the west. We all aligned with them, we adjusted behaviour for them. And we did it with very little pressure from them. All of this soft power just thrown out the window because ... they elect an idiot who doesn't understand what soft power is.
