Hexbears being confused by this shit is kind of funny and kind of depressing. The leader of the most powerful military in the world is making jokes about invading a country, and the normies of that country are reacting poorly to it even though they know it’s a joke. How the fuck are you people going to “community build” when you can’t understand other people on a basic level?
Who's confused? It's funny that random Kkklanadians are jumping right to threatening a PPW over treat tariffs despite zero preexisting class consciousness, no one disagrees with them that the US is a depraved garbage nation that needs to die
Are people actually confused by this or is this just shitposting on an insular leftist forum?
I'm community building with the entire country of canada with every post I make here
Im Nation Building in Canada right now
Maybe a bit off topic but
Literally has lost every war since after ww2
This misunderstands how US military hegemony works.
The US doesn't need to win militarily to win geopolitically. Even if they lose, they can inflict a lot of damage on other nations in the process while sustaining very little themselves. Even if you beat the US you still suffer greatly from it, which makes most countries scared to challenge their economic hegemony, which is the really goal of US foreign policy.
Like Trump the Canadians are completely full of shit, aside from the fact this chest-thumping is contained 100% online, what we're looking at is a manifestation of wounded nationalist pride, not a genuine expression of anti-imperialist consciousness. They'll get in line when the leash is actually pulled
Right now everyone (whether they admit it or not) senses this is a half-baked negotiation initiative from Trump and his inner circle and not a genuine imperialist project with the backing of the MIC
The minute the MIC signals the green light and the real imperialist chilling effect is detected (like with 2002-2003 Iraq, 2001 Afghanistan, Gaza etc.) is the minute all these Canadians get real quiet and everyone scrambles to politically reorient themselves so they don't end up on the losing side of the annexation
The DPRK has been this for the last several decades(without the colonialism or support of imperialists), and the average normie has been an enemy of the DPRK until.....not until, but still an enemy of the DPRK. Two faced allies who only want to hold hands with the global South when it's in their interest is no ally. They were more than content to be lackeys of American empire until now.

Sounds like you’re the confused one here, bud.
