americans are so dissociated from reality that they really think this was an attempted coup
Just because it was bad doesn’t mean it wasn’t a sudden and violent attempt to disrupt government.
literally no power was seized during any part of the process nor was that the goal
Peep that example 👀
And that’s how you effortlessly school a dumbass 😂
I see people saying how was this a coup without military aid as if we did not see the POLICE assist with them getting in or stood by complicit
Police, politicians, retired and Active Duty military were involved.
The fact that anyone is questioning this is a HUGE red flag to the path we’re going to go down if this shit isn’t nipped. Hitler was treated leniently and people brushed it off and said, “How dangerous could he be? What damage could he and his followers do?”
And then there was the fucking Holocaust.
And people had the nerve then to ask, “How did we let it get this bad?” Simple - they were lenient and did not take any of it seriously.
Either you learn from history or you’re doomed to repeat it. Don’t take this failed coup attempt lightly. Don’t take the power of Trump’s words and the hold he has over his followers lightly. They went into the Capitol building with intent to not only disrupt democracy but with intent to harm our leaders. They went in there with weapons and other means to take down, incapacitate, and harm other human beings. And they did so on his words. We’ve seen this pattern before. We know how it goes. Don’t kid yourselves.
Us Americans like to pretend that disasters averted were never going to be disastrous in the first place and then say that the people who averted the disaster are paranoid and were overreacting.
See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity.
If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster.
You’ll send aid to foreign children that are starving, so why won’t you pay a little extra to feed the people in your own country who work hard & still can’t afford the prices for healthy food for their families?
Please have a heart and reblog this photo to raise awareness that even in our own countries people are starving, join the movement and show the government that we won’t sit by and watch people starve.
If you think this will make your blog ugly you’re wrong. Children in a first world country are getting sick & starving, and nobody is even aware it’s happening. You can let people know by reblogging and showing you care. People I am close to, my friends and future in-laws are going through this.
Love how little attention this post gets from my beach blog followers.
Ok I didn’t think this could possibly be for real, but I found a news source on the matter. This is insane.
As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm this as being true :/ things are crazy expensive up North and our government (note Harper) is horrible at helping out with things and has actually faked getting involved before.
governments hate indigenous people, this is absolutely about anti-native racism. don’t forget that.
One of the biggest parts of this is that shipping freight is costly to get to Northern communities (Some places get 2 shipments a year for non-food supplies), the second is that in Canada there is a HUGE protest against allowing Inuit people to feed themselves in traditional ways (ie seal/whale hunting). I dont think people realize that the native people’s hunting is a literal drop in the bucket as far as the animal populations go, but make a huge difference within their communities where food is scarce and expensive.
Canadians aren’t ignorant to the anti-native sentiments in the government, and people have taken it upon themselves to send groceries to families in Northern cities.
If anyone here is interested in getting involved, Helping Our Northern Neighbors has been operating since 2014 to ship donated goods.
Uhhh I finally saw Promare a week ago and, like, it was amazing, but it also reminded a lot of the Lego Movie in terms of the plot and main characters… so this happened???
I don’t know, I really wanted to draw Galolio and this is what I came up with
