Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?
oppy1984@lemdro.id 3 weeks agoI guess I’ve just given up and assume everyone would just cut us off. I’ve really only seen negativity twords the US, so that colors my view. There’s also my buddy from Japan who advised me to say I was Canadian when traveling internationally due to the negativity he’s seen directed at the US when he’s traveling Asia and Europe.

Speaking as a Canadian, your friend from Japan can fuck right off.
Even the good people from the US (and there absolutely are some - some of my dearest friends are from SoCal) are not Canadian, and either (a) can’t pull it off, or (b) skew the rest of the world’s view of Canadians.
So please don’t.

Honestly he’s hard to read and he may have been joking, or not, I never bothered to find out since I really had no intention of doing it anyway. I work in international freight and deal with Canadian bound freight exclusively, some of the nicest customers I’ve dealt with were Canadian. CBSA… they deal with bastards all day so they get a pass.
Honestly I own the fact that I’m American and then try to show we’re not all backwards assholes. I figure I’m stuck here for the foreseeable future so I might as well try to do something to let the world know we’re not all nazis.
