Canada’s economy is dependent on the US. Trump might actually pull this off.
Edit:
More context since people are downvoting. Consider the following now picture yourself one of the greedy capitalists in Canada, which is a preferred outcome? Losing your wealth or losing Canadian sovereignty?
Just because I think it is likely doesn’t mean that I think it’s right. This is clearly wrong.
Do you think Westerners will finally understand that they are not racially or culturally superior just because for a brief period of human history they were the dominant technological and economical power?
What am I saying? I am being delusional. They will just double down on Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism. And more Chinese people working in the West will leave back to their country.
My employer accidentally gave me two laptops. So technically I’m signed in to the network daily even on weekends. In reality I go weeks at times without going to the office. My productivity has not suffered at all.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all religions that originated among Semitic people. Hatred of the practitioners of any can be considered antisemitism.
However you want to define it, it is not exclusive to the practitioners of Judaism. The original definition that limited it to hatred of Jews is wrong and misleading.
The original Jews of ancient Palestine, the Akkadians, the Arameans, and the modern Arabs as well as some Ethiopians, to list a few, do in fact share an ancestry. More than ancestry they also share cultural continuity. Pre-Islamic Arabic poetry parallels Akkadian and Babylonian hymns, specially how the role of women and the words used echoes how Ishtar was portrayed in the hymns. Fun fact the Ethiopian script originated in the Arabian Peninsula and was used to write Arabic and other languages in the past, but I digress.
Even if Shem isn’t a real person. While languages moves faster than genetics, and language shifts and assimilations happened. Semitic people can be traced back to the original people who spoke Proto-Semitic. In fact Arabic preserves some features of Proto-Semitic that are lost in Hebrew.
There’s no one on Earth who hates Arabs and Jews because they speak Semitic languages
This is false. Arabs are hated for being Arab regardless of their religion or skin colour.
The term “Semitic” comes from the biblical Shem, the son of Noah. So if Semitic ancestry were a real thing, then it would refer to the male line, and Ashkenazi Jews would have it.
Judaism is passed maternally. Jews aren’t the only ones who believe in the story of Shem or trace themselves back to him. In fact both people trace themselves to a far more recent patriarch, Abraham.
Ashkenazi Jews aren’t the only people in Europe with Levantine ancestry. If you are going to claim that some Levantine ancestry 2000-3000 years ago means you are a Jew, then there’s a whole lot more Jews than just those who practice Judaism. Including everyone in Palestine more or less.
The term antisemitic is a fossil left by 19th-century European racial pseudoscience weaponized against Jews living in European countries.
Because some European did something bad, Arabs have to suffer. This does repeat itself.
Definitions change and words can be reclaimed. If European Jews can claim it despite having no Semitic ancestry and not speaking a Semitic language until after Zionism, why can’t Semitic people who always spoke a Semitic language? Moreso if said Semitic people have been systematically massacred and oppressed by European LARPers who weaponized the term. You are just being antisemitic.
Likely doesn’t mean inevitable. I am the pessimistic type, so there’s that. I hope that I am proven wrong.
