I swapped from Windows 10 specifically because I didn't want to be in the Windows 11 and forward environment. (I use Arch btw)

I really don't regret it, the set up was really painful but once that was done, the KDE had so many good features that I immediately felt at home. I'm floored by how good Proton/Steam is at handling games, I don't think I've had to skip on any game due to my OS (so far).

Ah jee guys, he's got a point, imagine the tariffs and weird annexation talk he would have with liberals if liberals were in power 4 years from now.

If only we had some ways or historic telling us how he would interact with liberals in power like say, Trudeau or something.

Everyday is a good day to wake up to how badly we need nuclear energy and must ditch the human-leeches that are part of the oil lobby.

I want a strong railway network so bad in Canada, so that these CEOs stop being treated like their opinion matters.

The US empire is already crumbling as is, I'm not sure how much more disruption it really needs but it might happen in our life time.

If anything, I'm pissed that we're on the eve of a new world geopolitics era and the US completely shitted up some big players in the East. And also, shitting in their own backyard with this Canada annexation talk.

I agree on all your points there.

But you have to understand the mindset of the super-elites that are pulling the strings. Borders are an inconvenience to them and their business. They don't want to deal with conversion rate, they don't want to print extra information on labels to respect the law of one specific country, they don't want to manage a PR campaign with locals. All of that is a drain on resources and a stopgap to their growth and consumption.

The US government is openly corrupt and captured, at this point, it's on the verge of being a free-for-all for the super-elite that want their way. If Canada is brought under that corrupt umbrella, they cut a lot of the "inconvenience" for their infinite growth.

Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it's actually pretty "rational". I don't want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.

  • More access points to the melting Arctic cap and all the untapped resources underneath
  • More liberties to plant military bases across the north of the continent, to secure what is seen as the soft underbelly of North America
  • All the other resources, all of our expertise, all of our hydro-electric potential

Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.

It's dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there's some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.

What is that quote supposed to prove or disprove? No one is implying* that Russia has a perfect scorecard for respecting international treaties.

The bigger point of this article (that seems to go over your head) is that Ukraine also has a responsibility to prevent civilian casualties, which it has neglected regularly. Furthermore, the drone bombing act seems to have been a massive indiscriminate attack, looking at the images, there's multiple nonsensical targets such as civilians dwelling and some civilian parking lots. Whyever would any serious military target those? All this does is escalate a bloody conflict that should've been diplomatically settled years ago.
