Anti Canadian sentiment (lemmy.ca)

I've opened Lemmy today to lots of anti Canadian sentiment on any recent comments about how messed up 'murica is and it's constant attacks on Canadian sovereignty.

Don't get sucked in. Let them yell into a void. The online campaign has begun in earnest on Lemmy and it's time to point it out and recognise it for what it is.

These are not real people. They are actors trying to affect our decisions as always happens when American exceptionalism is challenged. Our government had the balls to stand up and say no. We have the balls to do the same. They do not like it and will attack you for it.

Don't fall for the bait.

Idk what they stand for. I never actually understood what they valued or were trying to accomplish. To me, they seemed like trolls who had nothing better to do than pick an arguments on the interent with no real goal except to pwn the internet. They just annoyed me and i blocked them

Theyre the only instance i have blocked, and since i hadnt seen anything that OP was referring to, i assumed it was them

They're communists, basically. Some are anarchist. That sort of thing.

Communist and anarchist are so far apart on the political spectrum that your comment helps me not at all

What? Communists, at least Marxists, ARE anarchists in a way. The main difference between them and what we usually call Anarchists is that communists believe we need to create a transitional system of socialist government that will slowly "wither away" into a communistic society - a moneyless, stateless society. i.e. a form of anarchy. Anarchists believe that no state can ever be trusted and we should overthrow the current system directly to a anarchic system. Of course there are many types of anarchists but the ones most people think of are "Anarcho-Communists". There are other types like Anarcho-Capitalists which are like even more extreme libertarians, but that's even more niche. The biggest, most typical group that use red/black flags are Anarcho-Communists.
