Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The US has fucked up Central America for a century now. They know what it means to let us do what we like to enrich our corporations at their expense.

Canada and Europe are still in denial at just how evil the US can be when we're led by a corporate stooge and populist "fuck the world" attitudes.

Canadian here .... most of Canada is pretty decent and this is coming from an indigenous Canadian.

We have the same problem as the US where a small group of wealthy people and corporations basically own and control the country against the wishes of the people. We're in the same situation as the Americans, ours just looks nicer but with less money.
