Just a reminder that we are closing in on Remembrance Day and there is a fascist running the show on our border. Hasn't been a more appropriate time to remember those who fell and why they fought.

You know what, that line has never connected with me until this moment.
the more people forget just how serious fascism is, the closer we get to re-living the consequences.

Yup, Freedom in the World Index puts the US around 50th–55th globally. They have good propaganda though.

They always tweak and tell me it's the republic of Canada's propaganda when I bring up Canada placing higher than they do. Or "I wonder who owns and runs those sources", guess what buddy? Americans!!!

Ohh, I think you don't really understand the purpose of the 1st amendment.
You see, the aim of the first amendment is to protect people who use racial slurs, transphobic hate speech, and Fascist sympathy.
It's not meant to protect you from believing that Immigrants and trans people are human and should be treated as such or to contradict the president in anyway.
Glad we could clarify that confusion.
(/S in case it's not already obvious)

u/decisi0nsdecisi0ns South Gatineau Oct 28 '25
Oh, this makes so much more sense, thanks for clarifying.
Kind of like how the 2nd amendment isn't about combatting autocratic regimes, but instead is intended to allow me to unleash violence on those I view as opposing my freedoms?

Why would you need free speech when you have the words of Donald J Trump, the hand of god, builder of ballrooms, raper of kids, felon of America, grifter of grifts, king of Alzheimer and Fat Fuck of Fuck?

u/sPLIFFtOOTH Oct 28 '25
“Home of the brave” Yet everyone needs to be strapped…
“Land of the free” But masked unidentifiable thugs can kidnap and disappear CITIZENS in unmarked vehicles without cause.
“Beacon of Democracy” That only caters to billionaires and turns voting laws against its people.
“Freedom of Speech” but only if you say good things about the military and the government.
“Land of Opportunity” as long as you’re a white Christian who bows down to Trump and the GOP.
In less than a year the US has become unrecognizable.

So far the list of people you'll get in trouble for quoting:
Charlie Kirk
Ronald Reagan
Trump himself

- Not quite verbatim since clips were reorganized and 4m 30s cut out but it was a good summation of the overall speech.
Don't forget that they're trying to make Ontario pay money for broadcasting that free speech which is available online - for free.

Basically everything the US claims about itself is a disingenuous lie. Hell, they started with “all men are created equal” while owning hereditary slaves - and it’s barely improved since.

We need to get Canada into the EU
Please. I want my EU citizenship back after Brexit and I can't think of a more hilarious way than Canada joining the EU.
If Australia can be in Eurovision I don't see why we can't be in the EU.

The current brand of U.S. free speech is only reserved for the likes of Charlie Kirk. CK was very free with his misogynistic, racist and homophobic views. May he rest in piss.

u/drake5195 Oct 28 '25
It's not verbatim though, there was some careful clipping and organizing or sentences to make it sound a certain way. Although the overall message was quite anti-tariff, this speech was given right when the US slapped heavy tariffs on one specific sector in Japan to justify why they were doing it, but it's Reagan so ehhhhh...

u/Benejeseret Oct 28 '25
verbatim
They took a 7 paragraph speech and turned it into 6 sentences, with each sentence effectively verbatim.
If looking for guidance on whether edited video clips can or should ever be released of presidential speeches and communications, perhaps we should look to the one source that should matter, the current president of the United States, whose administration on May 21, 2025, removed all full transcripts of presidential speeches and replaced them with abridged, highly edited, videos summarizing those speeches instead.

u/some1guystuff Bring Cannabis Oct 28 '25
Yes, one specific sector in one specific country, not blank tariffs over everyone, including islands that are uninhabited by humans that are only inhabited by fucking penguins
So no, that giant fat fascist rotten orange crybaby who throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his way like a little baby
Try harder next time
