I am so damn fed-up with feeling the need to face palm, fed-up with having my eyeballs roll…the level of ignorance south of my border is just amazing, in a very, very, bad way. Rhetorical question, I guess, but here we go; is there no education in the United States, I mean not just global history/geography but their own.
Those “settlers” who arrived at Plymouth Rock? They were, in fact, refugees, fleeing religious persecution, financial hardship and looking to find freedom. (Freedom and this particular arm of Puritanism is pretty much the definition of irony.)
The Irish who arrived in the great wave beginning in 1845? Fleeing hunger, economic hardship and religious persecution.
The Italians? Financial hardship, vis a vis, unemployment, overpopulation, and natural disasters.
Germans? Religious persecution, poverty, and restricted freedoms, except the Drumpf family – who were draft dodgers from way back.
The Polish, Ukrainian, Scottish, please refer to the above. They all came to North America for the same reason, freedom from oppression, to escape poverty and hardship – natural or politically inflicted.
Oh, did I mention, they were all white? Is that where the current calls to halt immigration, arrest and throw innocents into concentration camps? Deport them to, what is to most, foreign countries?
Most “Americans” faced prejudice but this current degradation of the country, these “Make America Great Again” idiots, gleefully ignore the ethnic slurs faced by their own ancestors; Mick, Limey, Wop, Polack, Bohunk..oh and then there is “bead rattler”, bible thumper…you get the gist.
The United States is, most definitely, NOT the “Land of the Free” hoped for by their founding fathers. It is the land of “Whatever ideology the oligarchs want to throw out as diversion”.
So no, the United States, Canada and Mexico are were not “settled” by Europeans. These countries were destinations for refugees, fleeing for their lives. For christ’s sake, get off Truth Social and read a goddam history book.
The inter-webs are not having it. Regular folk are fighting back and calling out racist/misogynist/bigoted morons, in a big way. I am noticing and yes, it makes me happy, to see these people exposed; their profiles published and their names laid bare, along with their disgusting commentaries.
There are a few social media legends who hold these people (?) accountable;
Calling out is not “Doxing”; I don’t believe in doxing, it is dangerous and unethical, however, calling these people out, making them accountable for revolting commentary by sharing their PUBLIC profiles, is not doxing. They wrote these comments, so they must be proud of their views but there is a whole world (literally) who may beg to differ and offer their own opinions.
In all honesty, I never much gave sharing these asshats, (asshats have no gender), any thought and just went on my merry way. This dates back to the BBS days, right through to recently. The hateful comments seem to be more rampant these days, the little brains bolstered by Dementia Don and his Magats.
My mindset has shifted; these trolls and losers at life need to be held accountable. Gone are the days of masked (white sheeted) anonymity. If you run into these remnants of evolutionary ooze and missed ladder rungs, call the suckers out. Let everyone know, exactly, with whom they work, who that neighbour is, as a person. Hate must be called out because when it isn’t, ICE kidnapping, San Salvador concentration camps and Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz happen, they will continue to happen. Call it out, call out the supporters, the “Alpha males”, the Magats and Maple Magats. Justice needs to take a stand and it starts at the grassroots.
The piece below, echoes the feelings of most of Canada and NO, I AM NOT SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE, it is deserved. Every. Last. Word. Of. It. We’re done. Masks are off and elbows are up.

Letter by, Jim Elliott:
Dear 77,301,997 Trump-Loving, Conspiracy-Huffing, Rage-Addicted Americans (And the Canadian Dumbfucks Who Worship Them)
Oh, hey there. Sit down. Read this. Try not to cry.
Listen, I get it. You think we’re just a bunch of polite, snow-loving, maple syrup-chugging pushovers up here in Canada. You’ve been misled. We’re polite, sure. But only until we get pissed off. And you, dear MAGA cultists, are testing our fucking patience.
Let’s clear up a few things about who we actually are, because you seem to be confused. We’re a country that gives a shit about our elders, our kids, and our most vulnerable. We actually value education instead of treating it like some left-wing brainwashing experiment. We don’t get all horny over billionaires hoarding wealth while our neighbours die in poverty. We don’t fantasize about returning to the 1940s, and we sure as hell don’t think the most corrupt sack of shit on the planet was personally chosen by God. Who does that? Oh right—you.
But let’s go deeper.
We’ve Always Been Your Best Fucking Neighbour—So What the Hell Happened?
Time and time again, Canada has been there when the U.S. needed us.
World War I? We were in the trenches before you even showed up. World War II? We were storming the beaches of Normandy while you were still debating whether or not to help. Korea, Afghanistan, peacekeeping missions—you name it, we’ve had your back. We sent our firefighters to help when California burned. When Katrina wiped out New Orleans, we were there. And on 9/11? We fucking welcomed thousands of stranded Americans into our homes, because that’s what decent people do.
And what did we ask for in return? Nothing. We didn’t demand groveling gratitude or threaten to “never help again” if you didn’t kiss our ass. That’s your toxic, transactional bullshit—not ours.
Enter Your Mango-Coloured Messiah: A Convicted Criminal With a Cult.
So after all that, what do we get? Your country elects a spray-tanned sociopath with the vocabulary of a Grade 3 dropout, and suddenly we’re the bad guys? You’ve got a convicted fraudster leading your country—a man who insults war heroes, mocks the disabled, and jerks off to the thought of authoritarian rule—and we’re the problem? You’ve got a Party foaming at the mouth to gut democracy, roll back civil rights, and turn the U.S. into a theocratic shithole, but we’re the ones who should shut up?
Nah. Fuck that.
And to the Canadian Trump Bootlickers—Sit the Fuck Down!
I can already hear the Canadian MAGA muppets shrieking, “Mind your own broken country!” Oh, sweetheart. If Canada were actually broken, it would be because of dumbass conservatives like you who take marching orders from a foreign conman.
Is Canada perfect? Of course not. But unlike you bootlicking clowns, we don’t rally behind leaders who openly admire fascists and flirt with the idea of rounding up immigrants. We don’t foam at the mouth over the idea of a “war on woke” while pretending climate change isn’t real. And we certainly don’t suck off billionaires while pretending trickle-down economics isn’t a scam.
You morons scream about freedom, but what you really mean is the freedom to be an ignorant, unvaccinated, gun-hoarding dipshit. The moment someone else—be it a woman, an immigrant, or a person of colour—wants the same freedom you enjoy? Oh no, suddenly that’s tyranny. Fuck off with that hypocrisy.
Canada Isn’t Broken—You Just Can’t Handle Reality.
What do we actually have in Canada? Universal health care. Sensible gun laws. A social safety net that, while imperfect, at least tries to keep people from starving in the streets.
Meanwhile, in your MAGA utopia, you can literally go bankrupt because you got cancer. You send kids to school in bulletproof backpacks because you refuse to do anything about mass shootings. You’re so brainwashed by billionaires that you think raising the minimum wage is worse than cutting taxes for a corporation that made $100 billion last quarter.
And you have the fucking gall to call us broken?
Mind My Own Business? I Fucking Wish!
Oh, I’d love to. Really, I would. But here’s the problem—when you share a border with a country of over 300 million people, and that country elects a conspiracy-loving, anti-science lunatic to power, it becomes my business.
When your president guts economic, military, and trade alliances that help keep the world stable? That’s my business. When your leader openly muses about invading sovereign countries—including ours? That’s definitely my business.
And when a bunch of dumbfuck Canadians start acting like America’s the blueprint for success, despite all evidence to the contrary? That’s all of our business.
We’re Watching, and We’re Not Impressed.
So, dear Trump cultists, both American and Canadian: we’re onto you. We see your bullshit, your hypocrisy, your complete detachment from reality. And we’re not buying a single second of it.
We’re your neighbours, your allies, your friends—but we’re not your doormats. We’re polite, but we’re not fucking stupid. And right now? We’re watching. Closely.
