So he's going to 'take some time to figure out his next moves' while doing the same thing but surreptitiously, while Musk throws some pocket change at him.

A nazi isn't going to walk away from the opportunity to hurt people.

I wish the media had the balls to be honest.

"Internal dissent among fascist party's plans to invade Gaza and finish genocide."

Your anger is justified, and I thought a lot about this, but I stand by it.

On September 11 2001, the people of Gander NL opened their hearts and their homes to planeloads of people who couldn't land in the US. Earlier this year, Canadian firefighters were in California, helping fight the wildfires there. In 1959, Canadian engineers and scientists flocked to the US to help build the fledgling NASA and get to the moon. Who was down helping sort through the wreckage after Katrina, after Milton, after a dozen other natural disasters? That's right, Canada - your closest ally. In 2016, when Trump was first elected, I offered to sponsor a number of my US friends (made when I was working in California under NAFTA) if they came to Canada as immigrants, asylum-seekers, or refugees.

And make no mistake - the US has had our back almost as reliably, if only because it's easier to help out when you have ten times the population. You were here last summer helping with our wildfires, as Jasper burned, and we're beyond grateful.

But now your president - your democratically elected leader - has declared economic war on us, with the explicit intent of taking over our country! It's more than a slap in the face, it's an outright assault. And now that Canadians are looking back on the last 80 years or so, we're realizing that we've given up far too much autonomy and identity to our loudmouth friend who just betrayed us.

So I'm sorry, but I'm getting out of this abusive relationship. I'm not standing for it anymore. It's going to hurt us like hell, but we need to do it to survive as a nation.

This is the thing - if we take in the people who are going to suffer the most, we're taking in the people with the most incentive to fix your country at all costs. If the only people left are Trump supporters and the other 30% or so who can survive under his regime, then he'll just get stronger and stronger.

This is a key moment in history. Stay and fight. Defeat the Nazis at home before it's too late. If you're willing to give up on your country and doom the rest of the world, then I don't know what to say.

Screw it.

Block it all. Block it ALL!!!

I've been saying for years (decades?) that we need to stop treating the US like a friend. At the very best, they're a giant that may roll over in their sleep and crush us.

But now, the US has openly declared (economic) war on us, and Trump still keeps talking about making us the 51st state.

We need to swallow the pain and block the US as much as humanly possible. Ban immigration from the US - including cross-border married couples and asylum-seekers. Visas owned by Americans working in Canada will not be renewed on expiration. Start enforcing CanCon laws again, across all media (esp. streaming platforms). Deny access to Canada for all pro-fascist organizations. Fox News and Newsmax? Gone.

This isn't about Trump's stupid tariffs, it's about what he intends to use them for - leverage to take over Canada. We've been too complacent and complicit for too long, but it's time to stand, united, at our southern border and say "you shall not pass."

Not good ennough. Doxxing should carry criminal charges.

Fair warning: it's likely that your ISP will block attempts at self-hosting a mail server at home.

Of course not.

They're likely to give Imperial's CEO a bag of cash and say, "don't worry bro, we got this."

...and fucking stay there. We never want to see her again in Alberta.

Her name is Marlaina. Until I see a note from her parents saying she's allowed to change her preferred name, she should be called Marlaina.

While it's true that we have too many Nazis in this province (and we keep electing the fuckers!), Gilmore's point is well taken: If the Cons and Poilievre win the next election, it will be decided before the Alberta polls are even closed.

So please, stop pointing your finger at one region and feeling superior. We need to fight these vermin across the entire country and world, and can only do it together.

At this point, I suspect the only real solution is guns and knives.

Not advocating, just commenting.

The ADF excused Musk for his Nazi salutes last week. :-(

The media needs to stop reporting 'neutrally' on this bullshit, and call it out as expansionist lies.

He hasn't been terribly loved in this term, does he really have the lock on the election he thinks he does?

Working on Sun heavy iron, boot time was excuciating. We'd add RAM to a fully pupulated E3000 and then waiy 40 minutes before the first diagnostics appeared on the terminal.

That wasn't technically boot time, but the OBP equivalent of POST.

Honestly, OS boot time has never been an issue for me.

• Short attention span.
• Outrage farming.

New Mexico is already part of the US. It's not really the name, it's the expansionist intention.

He's going to annex as much territory as he can without weapons before declaring war.

It doesn't matter.

It REALLY doesn't matter.

If he was doing a Nazi salute, the consequences are obvious. If he was doing something "like" a Nazi salute but can plausibly deny it, the result is exactly the same; and that means that the intent is the same, even if it is proven (magically!) that it wasn't a Nazi salute.

This is the result:

The Nazis of the world all saw it, and took it as a sign of unity. Nothing else matters.

Now Musk may or not may be autistic, but I know several autistic people (plus one with Tourette Syndrome, long ago) and you know what? Not a single one of them has done anything like a Nazi salute.

"Heil Hitler" as a phrase and a salute is fairly unique: It is something that is absolutely burned into the memory of most of humanity, regardless of language, culture, or society. Nobody with Musk's worldly knowledge and experience would accidentally do something that close to a Nazi salute. Hell, an eight year old from Latvia wouldn't accidentally do something like that. The knowledge and the taboo are absolutely burned into our collective consciousness.

There is absolutely zero chance whatsoever that Musk didn't know what he was doing.

And even if that's true, it honestly doesn't matter.

...Elon Musk’s baffling appearance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration...

What was so baffling about it? The man bough and paid for control over Trump. It would have been a massive shock if he wasn't there.

Or maybe his "gesture" was baffling, because they refuse to accept that the richest man in the world is a Nazi.

On reddit, FFS.

"We can't let those Nazis contaminate OUR Nazis!"
