I stand with Canada

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, even Americans who had been against getting involved in the war and didn't much care for FDR generally rallied to the war effort.

I hope everyone in the USA, whether Democrat or Republican or neither, realizes that that kind of national unity is gone forever and is never coming back. Probably its last gasp was in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 (even _I_ agreed to sing, for the only time in my life, the American words to "My Country 'Tis of Thee" once at the fire station near Juilliard), but Bush squandered that with the stupid Iraq war.

While as far as I know no conventional war is planned, it looks like the current US government, if it can be called that, is determined on economic "war" with Canada.

I don't know what I can actually do, but I am unapologetic in siding at least in my heart with Canada, even if that makes me objectively an "enemy" of the USA, though in this case I suspect many Americans whose politics are more conventional than mine will agree with me.

The United States of America is an abomination, conceived in treason and lies. It never should have come into existence. All of the modern world's other problems can be traced in a sense to the errors of 1776. This includes certain contemporary problems in Europe that smug Americanists make fun of, because after World War II, of which the only true victors were the USA and the USSR, essentially American ideas of what it means to be a citizen of a particular country were imported into much smaller and hitherto relatively homogenous European countries totally ill-suited for them where they did much more damage than they have done in the USA.

Trump is a crude buffoonish malignant egomaniac, but ultimately Americanism is the problem.

God Save the King.
