Bold words coming from the prime minister of New South Saskatchewan
Flippanarchy
Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
Join the matrix room for some real-time discussion.
You mean the gobernador of New Old New Mexico?
I would love it. Don't let us vote though, just bring us that healthcare and stuff.
FYI he is probably using the word subsidy when he really means the phrase 'trade deficit' which is less than $100b actually.
But he's an idiot buffoon with no business leading out on the economics of a small village not to mention the largest economy in the world.
losing healthcare surely is worth all that !
Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that's how you get Canada to pivot towards China... I think.
I'm just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.
Something, something, enemy of my enemy...
far better military protection
From whom? Polar bears? Santa Claus?
"Nice country you have there. Would be a shame if something happened to it" -Trump probably
Yeah fuck Trump, but also please take a geography lesson.
Is Canada supposed to be afraid of a country that couldn't defeat Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goatherders?
I mean, the US military absolutely can and will roflstomp traditional governments and heirarchies. Both the Taliban (2001) Saddam's gov't were steamrolled. The followup of holding territory and "winning hearts and minds" is where they fall on their face.
And this threat really seems to be for the Canadian government and 'elite' rather than the people.
Just claim random insane bullshit that be easily disproven by a 5 year old, and don't worry about it because the conspiracy theory and maga idiots will eat it up. You're always right, remember?
Fuck it. Close the borders. We good.
Let the queer folks come over first plz, we promise to be good Canadians.
Of fucking course!! If you can get to Ontario and need help getting settled/staying here please DM me. All queer folx are welcome at my house and in my country!!
less like "Lebensraum" and more like an attempts at "Anschluss"
If you have unlimited oil (?) why are you getting so salty about having to buy it from Canada ?
I think the orange Cheerios still does not understand tariffs. Right now Canada isn't paying any tariffs on imports, the people in the US n the other hand are paying tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, Colombian, Chinese .... products.
More like he knows his base doesn't understand tariffs, and when they make things worse they'll believe it when he blames somebody else
Only after the last tree has been cut down
Only after the last river has been poisoned
Only after the last fish has been caught
Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
My bestie had this poster on her door when I was a kid. Indelible impression left.

Weird. This is the reaction I'd expect for a toddler, not a 14 year old.
Huh.
Very brave of you to defend the honor of his melodramatic comment.
You'd like to think so. But a shocking number of grown ass adults won't get it.
Let's all become vassal states of Orange land.
... Oh wait, yeah, hard pass.
I'm pretty sure that Canadians wouldn't mind closer ties to the Netherlands.
Yes, 't Kikkerland can always do with more friends and allies, but technically 't Huis van Oranje became extinct several centuries ago 😇
As for the Orange in charge at Canada's southern border, not so much.
Nobody calls the Netherlands "'t Kikkerland".
That's why it's "Huis van Oranje-Nassau", not "Huis van Oranje".
Please don't misrepresent my country like this.
The other person was simply correct: Netherlands 🧡 Canada.
As a result of my heritage, I lived in Nederland for 14 years. It was referred to frequently as 't Kikkerland. The first language I learnt was Dutch.
As somebody who actually lives in the Netherlands, born and raised.
The only version of "kikkerland" we use is when we reference ourselves as a small country, like in our "klein kikkerlandje".
I'm guessing that I'm at least few decades older than you and language has evolved. I haven't lived in Nederland since 1990, but I went to primary, secondary and university there.
Whilst you might not refer to it as 't Kikkerland, travel away from your home and you'll discover plenty of people who still refer to it like that, with fondness and good memories.
In my case, the memory comes with a song:
