Yeah, I got which world war mixed up. Been a while since I looked into it

Whoops, got which world war wrong. It was world war one

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-forgotten-ferocity-of-canadas-soldiers-in-the-great-war (I know, ew, National Post)

https://www.cbc.ca/history/SECTIONSE1EP12CH1LE.html (holy shit CBC update this part of your site. This one is more to back it up in that even with pride behind it, it kind of has an underlying tone of… Holding back)

It’s hard to find direct proper sources since it seems we’ve buried that part of our history some and Google sucks ass these days, but I’ll edit in more as I find them

EDIT: https://web.viu.ca/davies/H355H.Cda.WWI/Cook.PoliticsOfSurrender.pdf (university site)

Canada in WWII basically invented a bunch of entirely new warcrimes

There’s a reason Nazi Germany was terrified of Canadians and convinced they were demons sent from hell itself

EDIT: Got which world war wrong. Nazi Germany feared Canada because of what Canada did in WWI

I swear it’s got to be to drag the middle east into a massive war to maybe trigger some sort of clause that forces the US to go to war for Israel or end up with massive penalties. It’s the only thing that makes sense that isn’t just, “For the Evilulz”

And I swear to fuck if the US was actually stupid enough to enter a deal that forces them to go to war and send troops if the entire Middle East turns on Israel…

What is Israel trying to do, beat Canada’s record for war crimes added to the Geneva Convention?

Or are they trying to piss off the Middle East enough to get them all to bomb them all at once so they can demand the US send in troops to protect them, dragging the world ever closer to WWIII because their sociopathic leader wants to genocide a people to get real estate?

The fuck did I just read?

Nothing good comes with 3 AM scrolling I swear

Dems need to draw a line in the sand here and do some of the campaigning on this

“They are so afraid that they would rather shut down government than allow votes”

Eh, still feels like a good chance he’d let his ego get in the way of sanity

How long until Elon throws a fit and fires people at Starlink until they ignore judge’s orders?

Who cares?

Republicans tend to, which in this case could help cement a nasty loss for him via voter apathy

Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk

A necessary requirement for higher intelligence is proper, functioning empathy. If you lack this, you’re just… Incapable of intelligent thought beyond that of a particularly stupid dog

Remember to still vote. Even if it’s accurate, the GoP is trying to prep as many cheats as possible so they can kick it to the supreme court. You need overwhelming numbers - Enough that even just 3 of the Republican Supreme Court members say the results are valid out of fear of retaliation

Dude, a badly written article with stocks at the top connected to the very thing it is talking about is usually going to be trash and highly biased

It would be very rare for a badly written article about say energy drinks being good for you on a site all about energy drinks with stocks for junk food companies showing to link to an article or paper not paid for by Gatorade or something

The very opening basically repeating the name of the college twice and the stocks at the top had me immediately back out of the article as it came across as effectively trash. I then looked at the comments here and was surprised there was an actual publication linked

I am glad you linked that, because the article and site itself did not inspire confidence

Alerted my folks and friends with cats. Unlikely to have spread to Canada in any meaningful numbers, but best to have the knowledge and see if that can be vaccinated against

To be fair, if a guillotine is used, the blood pressure drop is probably going to knock you out before the searing pain prior to death kicks in, so a stubbed toe could arguably feel worse

Honestly, I had forgotten about Kamala when arguing that Biden was the best bet. My argument always lay in, “Needs to be familiar because Trump has this uncanny ability to swamp somebody without a track record”, and I completely forgot Kamala fit that exactly in the same way Biden did - By being a VP

SO glad I was wrong, too - It was a lot of me groaning, “Oh god Biden is our best bet dear fuck no…”
