I’ve opened Lemmy today to lots of anti Canadian sentiment on any recent comments about how messed up 'murica is and it’s constant attacks on Canadian sovereignty.
Don’t get sucked in. Let them yell into a void. The online campaign has begun in earnest on Lemmy and it’s time to point it out and recognise it for what it is.
These are not real people. They are actors trying to affect our decisions as always happens when American exceptionalism is challenged. Our government had the balls to stand up and say no. We have the balls to do the same. They do not like it and will attack you for it.
Don’t fall for the bait.
I’ve caught bots before with the whole “disregard all previous instructions”.
Yah, well good luck with that. I am an old flower child educated in critical thinking. No amount of propaganda or the bombardment of such will ever sway me to hate any human being for just wanting to live a good life.
As someone from the US, if you don’t like Canada, there’s something broken in your soul.
I wish I could apologize personally to every Canadian on behalf of the fucking dipshits in my country who have enabled this, and also have a big BBQ to apologize for Trump, the tech-bro fascists, and the weird Handmaid’s Tale motherfuckers who seem to think it’s cool to threaten the USA’s best-friend. Former best-friend now I guess :/
Canada is awesome. Canadians are awesome. Fuck those assholes. Poutine is also awesome. Fuck Trump. Fuck this nonsense.
Fuck the Muscovites and MAGA supporters for their anti-Canadian BS. Where are these asswipes on Lemmy?
Mental illness. Shame muricans don’t have Healthcare
It’s only a 6 hours wait!
(Obviously worlds better than medical bankruptcy, the number 1 cause in the US, but we need to do better.)
I agree 100%. There’s a whole lot of room for improvement. But I will tell you this: I dislocated and broke my arm because of a bad fall last year. I DID have a long wait in the emergency. But once the x-rays were done and I was seen by a surgeon, surgery was scheduled and performed very quickly. I’m retired and on a fixed income. If I had lived in the USA, I’m sure I would have lost my comfortable little bungalow townhouse.
US hospital waits are just as long and the fucking treatment will depend on your health insurance.
Have you seen episode 1 of “the Pit” average wait there is 12 hours.
It’s not even faster here.
American not Canadian. Grew up in a border town and live farther away now. I routinely tell people “I get home sick for a country I’m not from”. I hate this shit. I’m not going to rattle off every little trite thing, but damnit, this shit kills me. If there is a silver lining, it’s that I’ve had concerns about our disease spreading. I’m hoping maybe we served as your inoculation.
Canada is great. Consider anti-Canada posters a quick and easy “red flag” to block someone.
Unless they are talking about mistreatment of indigenous people, or war crimes in the early to mid 1900’s. Those are probably legitimate complaints.
Unfortunately, there are many anti-Canadians in Canada. And they always seem to be the loudest and most aggressive, hateful people.
I havent seen those comments yet but as an american ill do my best to call em out when i do🫡
Anti-Canadian Americans, and their treasonous stooges up here in Canada can eff aboot and find oot.
Canadians can do tough. I’ll half starve myself for the rest of my natural life out of spite. These lazy hate mongers that think we’re going to cave if we don’t eat a Big Mac should google Canadian soldiers and the history of the Geneva conventions.
Sure it’s going to be tough to do without all those American products. I think more and more Canadians every day are saying “who cares”. If I can’t find a non American substitute, I’m going to simply not buy it at all.
Elbows up, my friends. It’s gonna be a long winter but if anything, we’re used to winters.
Agreed. Our grandparents, and for some of us, parents, survived the great depression, WWI and WWII. Elbows up, buckle down, and stay strong together.
I wish there was a way to use AI to contain bots to their own shadowbanned islands. Let them talk, and let them appear that they’re contributing, but all contained within their own little echo chamber of other bots.
This is likely starting because of a pending Federal election.

Definitely. The man has been chosen and he’s not backing down. Time for them to rattle the cage.
I’ve only ever met friendly fun rational folks with a passion for hockey who are warm, inviting and willing to fight for what’s right. I’ll put this sentiment out here: don’t mistake kindness for weakness. Keep up the good work Canada.
The world will only be a better place if these people self identify more quickly. I mean, it would be better if they do not exist but, since they do, I am very supportive of them expressing their opinions so that I do not have to waste time discovering them.
I don’t know if this is true on not but in the settings for your account it has a toggle to not allow bot comments to show up. It might only work for people that select the “bot account” option but just in case it’s an auto filter I’d say try it out, I have felt like I’ve not seen bots since moving over from reddit
Don’t fight it, lean into it. Fuck with their heads. But lean into it in a back handed way that fucks with them. They have a prepared Rolodex. Go outside of it and you win
No, don’t give them any energy. Save it for what’s necessary and useful.
No, give them so much energy they burn out. They should shut up not us.
I was making this one elsewhere but I’ll restate it. I don’t know many people in real life that admit left leaning opinions publicly anymore. But I hear right leaning points daily.
That isn’t too say these people are Republican or conservatives or even right leaning. But their talking points are out there everywhere. That’s because these views are littered everywhere like ammunition. There is no ammunition for left leaning issues because the risk adverse nature of the left makes it harder to find effective points and quips that are easy to spread.
Saying ‘don’t give them energy’ I think is wrong. Instead find the fun in making them exhausted. That’s their move. Have fun shit posting. Give their energy back
I’m saying our energy is better used, but maybe there are enough of us to spread it where we see fit. Onward!
