  • There are so many internal threats to the US from a Canadian invasion.

    • Canadians living in the US, estimates put that number around 800k or so.
    • Canadians travelling in the US, at least another couple hundred thousand, could be more at certain times of the year.
    • Americans who used to be Canadian, probably more than the PR number to be honest.
    • Americans with direct Canadian ties, millions.
    • Americans with significant Canadian sympathies, tens of millions.

    Then there’s the Canadians who would sneak into the US during such an event, either for safety or to cause problems. No functional amount of US military presence could protect any useful amount of it, and once across the border blending in is super fucking easy.

    Then we’ll just recreate 1812 and burn the White House down after we evacuate all the people.

    It wouldn’t be quite as bad as a full US civil war, but it would be damn close.











  • Plenty of examples of people burning down capitalism/mercantilism based societies too… It’s happening right now in the US.

    Capitalism is not freedom, nor the devil. It’s just a tool. The same as communism or socialism. They each have their pros and cons.

    Look at Canada, better healthcare because… Socialism. Cheaper more functional electrical companies because… Socialism. Then they use Capitalism for other industries that work just fine.

    The economic system should really be set per-industry based on which one is likely to provide the best outcome.

    As a broad overview, In my opinion, Communism should be used for land ownership, Socialism for core necessities, and Capitalism for luxuries.
