    Yet, my quality of life has been better than that of any given American in a comparable income bracket.

      Yeah yeah thats great and completely misses the point. See you in five years when you are blind sided.

        I’m not missing the point. It takes a special kind of misery to tell someone “you’ll be like us in 5 years”.

        And even though I may, I would have still lived a better life without having been forcefed a bunch of propaganda about being the pinnacle of human history.

          You’ve got blinders on. I’m trying to warn you that you are not immune. Canadian’s especially have their foot coming in the door we just walked through. Capitalism always turns into faacism, always.

            I’ve known that since I was a kid and I saw cops massacring people in broad daylight while politicians and media spun it as a glorious day for democracy. Thank you for your concern, though.

        Probably more like in 10-15 years, but yeah. They’re definitely missing the point. 20-30 years ago nobody would have thought something like modern day America could have happened.

          I mean people did, they’ve been ringing the alarm bells since the 70s. Its happening in Canada too. Anywhere a corporation lurks under capitalism is in danger of becoming what we are. Be vigilant. Dont be capitalist.

            Modern-day America makes sense, though. It may have become stale, but it was literally built on genocide and slavery: the whole tragedy and farce thing.

              The entirety of the North America, and Central America is built on genocide dude. Thats not a USA only thing. Weak excuse from a fellow settler colonial nation resident.
