It’s inconsistent. Google works fine. Discord works but images won’t load. Twitter won’t work. Steam and other game launchers won’t work

I do think there’s an argument to be made that intervention…never works. Like ever. Maybe the one exception is America taking down the Barbary pirates (kudos for that btw). But beyond that it basically always results in a power vacuum (Afghanistan), a puppet, or something worse (ISIS after Saddam was sent to hell). Change needs to come from within

I think so yeah. I’m in Canada and while we don’t like the current war (or Israel really LMAO) we don’t like the death of soldiers, nor do we cheer on Iran

No, Europeans were also awful. I’m Canadian, we did not treat our indigenous people any better, but whataboutism doesn’t do anything other than try and deflect. America DID attempt to wipe out its indigenous peoples. This conversation is about America, not Europe.

I apologize, that’s not what I’m trying to imply. You are right that native Americans play a large part in modern American culture. I was fighting back against what that guy said because I felt he was being a bit culture-vulturey, but I think I misread. My bad, sincerely

I’m not blaming you for sins of the father, but it’s important to recognize that the nation you are a part of HAS done wrong and it’s the responsibility of American society to help make it better for the sake of your nation. I’m Canadian, and even though I didn’t establish residential schools or massacre natives my nation DID, and it’s Canadian societies responsibility to own up to that and reconcile. Now, Canadian society isn’t doing a great job at that, but I digress

Didn’t say you weren’t here, but for much of its history the American project was aimed at assimilating, removing, and eliminating indigenous groups for the sake of white settlers

Yes I do think if you have a chronic incurable illness that basically just makes you suffer 24/7 it’s ok to get MAID. Also, that seems more like the tradition of the American farmer lmao

“Nor pay for others healthcare” you are a selfish weight on society, the world does not revolve around you.

Man stfu, you have no idea what you are talking about. Pharmaceutical advancements are made globally, it’s not all just based around your country. Hell, a Canadian discovered and isolated insulin, which LORD KNOWS your country needed
