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.

Thanks for clarification. It's sad they try to ruin mythos that we should be able to embrace as unifying, within ourselves and with each other, by using it to divide.

Despite every horrible thing they stand for - it is completely reasonable to me if the thing you're most pissed at them for is cultural appropriation of Norse Mythology. I know when people use my country's flag in their hate-fests, it angers me almost as much as the hate itself.

Re-using (poorly) nordic/viking imagery, mythology and symbolism has been a core staple of Nazi's, and white supremacists for... ever...

It's not the most anything to me, I just think it's sad along with other things. A sad sad situation, all around.
