like I was born in the United States but if there's a god above then god made a mistake because I was born in the wrong nation.
An American Comic I admire greatly named David Cross went up to Canada recently and talked about how our who comedic society could only seem to mock Canada for being too polite and that's what we found so funny about them.
I get a lot of shit from my mom for forgetting my please and thank yous sometimes and those things seem to always go over well even though they're just formalities that I feel like people ought to just assume.
I mean like of course I'm grateful that you did certain things for me, but why do you need to hear me say it?
But honest? In spite of all that. the way that people up north are responding to the lack of civilization amongst these people the way that they seem to be completely divorced from what makes canada be canada and not really invested in it's ideas of government at all and more comfortable with the idea of treating a bunch of people with huge semi trucks as if they're royalty.
and their horrified response at these people just outright bullying people
along with commentary from the Canadian press about how this seems very American with loud in your face protest.
See Aggressives displays of masculine bravado are not really my forte.
if anything my own writing has focused on the fact that sadly in spite of BEING A man myself
I understand the way she feels.
Not in a sympathetic way either, like directly. As in, I'm in her head because I'm having the same fears.
while the comments section didn't respond very empathetically towards maggie I felt a very strong sense of resonance with her rather than the protesters.
I'm from the wrong country, where loud angry aggressive protest is the norm.
even when I'm out there protesting myself I'm not this.
Something is wrong. The freedom convoy the people in it, they aren't who I am. I'm american, but I'm gentle compared to this.
