So what they're saying is that Canada can win this fight if they've got good aim and a minimal arsenal of tools at their disposal. Got it.

I just don't understand the part where we're somehow being "unfair" to the US.

Also, remind me Jack, whose side was God on in that fight? Because if I remember correctly it might have not been Goliath's...

It's often been pointed out that Right Wing Media Literacy is poor.

We see this often when they root for villains or characters intentionally unsympathetic, like Bojack's Dad, Homelander.... heck Trump's 2020 Re-Election team compared him to Thanos, saying he was "inevitable" and making gifs of him as Thanos snapping the DNC away.

So this isn't anything new in theory, but it's amazing that this "They're rooting for the bad guys because they don't know how media works" problem extends to the FUCKING BIBLE!

The Heroes of the Bible are intentionally meek a lot of the time, the point is that even when you aren't powerful yourself, your dedication to your Faith and standing up for what's right should be enough to make up for your shortcomings, for the Lord will lift your burden.

It's why "Proud Christian" doesn't make any sense, it's a very Pro-Humility faith!

Goliath also ate children.

Short answer - No

Long answer - Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo

Bitch, the "unfair treatment" you are going on about was the one proposed by Trump in 2018.

This has very much the feeling of ‘they need us more than we need them’

I’m in the UK and some people voted for Brexit saying the same. Look how that turned out for us over the last five years.

I stopped reading Reddit entirely save for deshittifying search results, but I braced myself and looked at the conservative subreddit today, and even they think this is quite dumb.

Do these people even read their own books?

No. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Can these people read?

That's certainly the first word that comes to mind when you hear Canada; Unfair. How rude of us to bully America around like that.

You got right to the problematic issue: "read". Reading is hard. Reading a long text is harder. Reading a very long text with complex meanings and referring to things outside the historical context of most readers, is very hard.

I've read the Bible. Twice. I don't think there is any action or concept by the current GOP where you won't find a sentence in the Bible that is actually condemning this precise move. They don't care, as they have never read it.

Also, Goliath was the bad guy.

They're not even trying anymore

Because they don't even have to

They can only read at a 5th grade level. If stop signs didn't have a shape and color there would be mass casualties

Yeah! Prepare yourselves! You're going up against Cobra Kai!

This is your end game and you're up against Thanos is what I mean!

You're like that Mexican "Chapulin Colorado!"

You're like those blue people fighting Gargamel and his cat! You'll never succeed! Never!

Have you guys ever seen voltron, the thunder cats, robotech, ghost in the shell, the power rangers, you Canadians are just like that going up against all their archnesises! Yeah!

No they don't. "Christians" don't read, especially their own handbooks. To the point where if you quote something from the bible that disagrees with their ignorant bullshit they get extra mad.

You're assuming that these people give a fuck about Christianity other than as a cudgel for beating people up.

I find the average atheist seems to be more familiar with the messages of the Bible than many of these people who claim to spend their Sundays studying it.

I always find this imagery amusing. David is touted as this weak shepherd boy who is nearly defenseless in the face of this giant opponent. In reality, you've got someone who has trained to sling rocks with deadly accuracy. He's basically the bronze age equivalent of a sniper, bro can send a 2 inch projectile at mach jesus straight for your dome.

The US has strategically used tariffs with great success over the last decades to get favorable pricing from Canada on everything from energy, softwood, potash, you name it. One item at a time, slowly, methodically they were able to bring down pricing. We have been giving the US extremely good prices, and now, because of Trump he has just flipped the board over and it's time to restart.

America will be far worse off than before this started, and this has leveled off the playing field again with Canada.

As a Canadian I am thrilled.

No. They don't.
They have co-opted something they are too dumb and lazy to even understand.
Any other questions?

Villainmaxxing

No. No, they do not.

If they read it, they would call the main character in part II "woke" and dismiss him as a "liberal."

And he wasn't even especially woke.

Fun fact: Humans are also susceptible to rocks.

Goliath was killed by a sword - the rock knocked him down so that David could behead him.

Must be weird thinking emperor palpatine was the good guy

MAGA has such a hardon for hurting people.

Setting tariffs without accompanying trade negotiations is like starting a fight with someone by shooting yourself, unless of course the goal is xenophobia and isolationism instead of equitable trade.
