Are you saying Canada should run the America blockade? Alone?? Cuz that the logical endpoint that your implying.

This is what I mean, all you can come up with are quotes that aren't your own in responce to a valid question.

Vertue signaling still aren't appreciated when they can't back up their talk with answers or counter argument. Sure people might pat you on the back in the moment, but you accomplish little to nothing unless you actually have a plan, do you or anyone here have a plan on how to make what you want to have happen, happen?

    You're changing your story. First you're making it sound like we should avoid angering the rapist, now you're saying you can't possibly expect us to be the only ones to stand up to the rapist. Either way, this is what you sound like.

    Here's a plan. I want my government to speak the truth about Trump, and America, to their face. And I am willing to be attacked by Trump if it means being on the side of right. The truth is the truth.

    If you think it's virtue signaling, it's not because it is, it's because your model doesn't come with much empathy, or perhaps bravery. So you assume everyone else has the same wiring, so we must be faking it.

    It's honestly nauseating that we have to share the planet with people who assume that people can't stand for anything on its own merit.....there always has to be a catch with people who mock "virtue signaling".

    How did we get to the point where some people would rather literal pedophiles and rapists be appeased than have to suffer any kind of consequence at all?

    Burn it down. I don't care. If we can take the billionaires with us, even better.

    Have a fucking spine.

    it is virtue signaling because the lot of you are trying to frame it like its a stand against the fucking holocaust because trump is blocking oil shipments you regarded individuals, thats pathetic and masturbatory.

    at this point I don't feel like arguing with someone who cant even present a proper argument regarding the geopolitical ramification of interfering with cuba, "oh lets just denounce him" yah that'll help ward him off his shitty plans and really hit him where it hurts, yah you hurt him, but not in any way that matters.

    all you have are insults and a soup box, your not going to get vary far with that "plan" superman.

    also, show some military id or equivalent if your so confident in "fighting" trump. im waiting for my paper work with the navy but id show screen shots of the process im at to prove it, prove your anything other then a keyboard warrior farming "reddit" karma.

    I was reading this and getting annoyed at such a bad take, but then I read "all you have are insults and a soup box" and I couldn't help laughing.

    I can only assume this is well-executed trolling.

    Again more words that aren't your own.

    Listen I'd rather be an Asshole then some useless lemming fighting about what can and can't be done in reality, if any of you actually knew how to handle the situation, you wouldn't be on here trying to pick a fight with me about it. You'd run for office, organize humanitarian groups, cuz you just know so much about how the world works, right? I'm sure youd be a shoe in for leader, right??

    The Blockade is only blocking oil, haven't seen a single one of you point out our country could send food. No, you'd rather feed your self-righteous little egos and try and start a fight with a guy who simply said maybe we shouldn't pick a fight with people before we're ready to defend ourselves.
