Well, maybe you can be a lesbian one day if you try hard enough.

Every day I’m thankful that I’m not romantically interested in men.

Did you consider that you simply did not read that comment critically enough? The suggestion that Canada is a low bar for human decency doesn’t usually come from people who do not have experience with the bigotry of Canadians and the Canadian state.

I honestly can’t understand your comment in any other way than it resulting from you flatout not reading my comment.

If Canada is an example of one of the safest countries in the world for queer people, that is fucking terrifying. I have been to towns in Canada where you could be feasibly assaulted and even killed for being visibly trans around the wrong kind of men. State support extends to queer rights so far as it maintains its control over queer peoples’ labour and bodies as it defines their access to both. Do you people seriously only ever live in Toronto or Vancouver? Canada is a fucking white supremacist, racist, ableist, and wildly queerphobic place, legal rights are the bare minimum of protection in this society, and they are only just barely protected here.

I have never felt safe in Canada a single day in my conscious life, I refuse to give the state any credit whatsoever for the resources and wellbeing it threatens to revoke should too many people like me become visible and disruptive to business as usual.

Do not respond until you understand what the fuck you’re saying.

Terrifying. That’s the bar?

Jesus Christ, you’re not the first person to call this an “audience.” Reminds me of men who call their internet confrontations, “debates.”

The commenter who I made fun of here brought up – and incorrectly ignored the specificities of US imperialism – a topic that was not relevant to my comment on US imperialism in the past century when they wanted to talk about US imperialism “inherited” from the British Empire over two centuries ago; apparently without even knowing when the Rebellion was.

My snide comments came with the assumption that my “audience” could think for themselves and figure out why someone would respond that way to what they said. Of course, I do not write effectively for an “audience” who does not.

I won’t read your response, I write these when I’m bored or waiting in line.

Holy fucking shit too many of you talk about shit you do not understand. The US is still occupying those lands and intends to eradicate Native American nations. If you also actually read my comment, you’d see that the person above was trying to explain something (inadequately) that was outside the scope of what I was addressing.

Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.

It ended in 1783, howbout you go reread my comment and do some math.

The USA is an oppressing force, not the land and people. Youre going to glass Native American land?

When exactly do you think the US colonial rebellion happened?

Literally, this has been standard US imperialism for the better part of a century.

Which is why they’re bombing Nigeria? They threaten white settler states like Canada because they know settlers will care more about themselves than people in the global south.

Guess the USA really is a rabid dog that we have to put down 🤷‍♀️

Yeah. Its worse for them, they know that, we all do. It isn’t about what’s good for them it’s about how fucking terrified liberals are of their inability to control the internet as young people make memes about how rad public transit and killing corporate executives is.

Damn, I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. 😳
