The US have always been the bad guys. Even independence was about being able to do more genocide and land stealing without the British getting in the way.

Canada also has a brutal history of both slavery and genocide.

Accepting that is the first step to overcoming systemic racism and building communities that we can all thrive in.

    The US war of independence started mostly because super rich shipowners didn't like the idea of tea not having to be transported to London first, but could come directly from India and Indonesia.

    That would save a ton of money for the American colonists, but it would cut out all those wealthy shipowners (and smugglers) who ran the London-America routes.

    So they lied to the people do their dirty work for them.

    People dont own land anymore. We live and die in ever-inflating rental properties.

    My parents are teachers. They own land. It's not quite as impossible as people like to pretend. Hell, my 20 year old cousin has a house

    You're right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can't afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.
