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.

No, don't give them any energy. Save it for what's necessary and useful.

No, give them so much energy they burn out. They should shut up not us.

I was making this one elsewhere but I'll restate it. I don't know many people in real life that admit left leaning opinions publicly anymore. But I hear right leaning points daily.

That isn't too say these people are Republican or conservatives or even right leaning. But their talking points are out there everywhere. That's because these views are littered everywhere like ammunition. There is no ammunition for left leaning issues because the risk adverse nature of the left makes it harder to find effective points and quips that are easy to spread.

Saying 'don't give them energy' I think is wrong. Instead find the fun in making them exhausted. That's their move. Have fun shit posting. Give their energy back

I'm saying our energy is better used, but maybe there are enough of us to spread it where we see fit. Onward!
