Yank here. I would rebut by pointing out that Canada has bloodied its hands on Native Canadians and participated in American imperialism as a toady. But honestly? It would nakedly be the pot calling the kettle black. And the kettle's at least started scrubbing off the char.
I plan to keep fighting my government, any way I can. But I feel so isolated and desperately outmanned and outgunned. Other nations that have successfully overthrown their oppressors didn't have to battle the surveillance and military industrial complex up close and in its own house. As awful as our abusers-in-chief have been to the world, people tend to forget that the first ones they every abused were us. It's the difference between growing up next door to the abusive psychotic gun-waving alcoholic father and being their child. He doesn't even have to get off the couch to beat us.
It feels like suicide to fight back, but the few of us who have humanity left are doing it anyway, even though we know that we don't have a chance. Not unless a chunk of our military decides to exercise an iota of independent thought and remember that part of their oath and a heap of our national myth was meant to give them permission to shoot the President himself if it came down to it.
Please, save us. I'm begging you, save us however you can. We're already suffering. It's going to get worse no matter what we do at this point, so fight them while we have time. Please.
