Whaaaat! Anti-science, religious bigots drive social decline?

No that can’t be it. It must be that God is angry at us because of the gays and is sending this plague upon us. We must burn the gays. That’ll fix it. /s

Canada is a backwater of regressive thought.

No, but it’s IN a backwater of regressive thought.

Notice how Canada is a big country, and how some parts of Canada are different from others. Perhaps you should buy some thinner brushes for your paintings. <img alt="Map showing total 2025 measle cases in Canada, per province" src="https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/89579431-417e-4a48-9894-57b947e9b9e9.webp"> <img alt="Map showing new measles cases in Canada (week 27) per province.

I'm aware of that. I'm smarmy because a lot of citizens of countries like to ridicule the US at the moment. Yes, our clown President and his sycophants are a national embarrassment. Yes, Canada is nowhere near the US for the degree to which idiocy and misinformation are deciding public behavior and public policy. But I like to remind people that they may be closer than they think to the switch flipping and the inmates taking over the asylum. Be smug if you must, but don't let your guard down at home.

May your backwater provincial leaders be kept in their places. May Rob Ford stay dead.

We are also aware that the fascist rhetoric has been exported here along with American imperialism and the imposed economic doctrine that comes along, though I’m not qualified to fully denounce those as comorbidities or if the shit rhetorics emerging worldwide are due to other factors.

You seem to want to bring us down in the shit pool with you. I don’t accept that. We ain’t clean, yet but they dirty.

We’ll have to accept the blame if / when we’ll veer into that fascistic culture. For now though, I don’t know why, in this very moment in time, the US should not be dunked on as a country. We know it’s not all of you, but what does it matter when most of that shit seems to be coming from your backyard? My only hope right now is that you guys have hit rock bottom and it’ll only be upward from here on out. Tough I’ve been hoping for this for many years now.

I see. When your own people do bad things, it's because they've been influenced by someone else. Foreigners converted pure-of-heart Canadians to their morally bankrupt ways.

Jesus Christ, buddy. I’m not going to write you a dissertation. We’re talking on broad strokes, yeah?

As a nation we’re able to cook our own horrible history, yeah. The government even has publications about it.

Anyway, keep your childish reflex of throwing back accusations instead of taking some blame ; listen to your nation’s beloved Jesus and ask your opthalmologist to take care of that beam in your eye. Then maybe you’ll have the moral superiority to tell others about their backwater mentality.

Maybe work on this first?
