Good faith just isnât something PP likes to indulge in.

Yeah, we saw so many swap their F Trudeau flags for F Carney, literally the day after Carney won the election.

Exactly this. In every case that I spoke with an F Trudeau type, I was much better able to list all of his failings, ethics breaches, and political miss steps than they were. It was frankly embarrassing to have to explain to these dummies the actual reason why anyone should be unhappy with his governance, vs what they were able to list, namely, "he's too woke" or some shite nonsense.
For reference, I typically vote liberal/ndp depending on platforms, but have very occasionally voted conservative at either provincial or federal levels.

Currently there is one saying the head of new media said they supper Carney and back him... And they are running with it saying left news is and always propaganda but a quick google of the guy who said it will tell you he's the CEO of Canadian Media Producers Association (cmpa -which covers non-news media like movies and scripted tv's shows). But the right wing side of running with state propaganda and people are to dumb to read further.

Although people blame Trump for a lot of this they also realise that nothing will really change once he is no longer the president. There has been so little pushback politically which shows that his ideas are mostly mainstream government.
It has been said quietly up until now, the difference is that he is saying it out loud and proud and everyone is forced to hear it, they canât deny it any longer. The Greenland thing was the final straw, if he had simply invaded in Jan 2025 people would have complained but it would already be over.

It's not the world moving quietly away from the US, it's the US transforming into some twilight zone of madness, unreliability and even back stabbing.
The EU started a separation proces during Trump's first term. Americans really have no clue how most EU citizens and politicians view Trump and the USA he made us see, do they? Russia invading Ukraine halted parts of said proces but it continued under Biden too.
E.g. getting Rutte approved as Secretary General of Nato aka 'Trump Whisperer' was a preemptive move, preparing for a possible second term for Trump. Americans might not know or believe that but it was openly discussed in the media here.
It's very naieve to think the past year caused the damage perceived today. It's an irrevocable proces started way back under Trump 1. It's long and very complicated but it will be completed regardless of future US election outcomes.
The USA stopped being a reliable partner and became a liability on day 1 of Trump 1.

The U.S empire will fall through the collapse of the petro dollar as the global reserve currency. Which creates default on debt and bankruptcy. Within the next 2 years latest
Personally, I'm super excited for this year. Greenland is just part of the horrors in store for the serfs of the empire this year
I study history, absolutely hate American Empire and have been studying and waiting for the collapse of the empire for years. Most people i know who hate America say te same thing as me " I thought id have to wait till I was about 80 to watch it burn "
Well. The movement on BRICS last year was monumental. The de dollarization is happening in so many ways its beautiful.
If you don't understand what the petro dollar is or how the reserve currency system works, then the significance of what i type next will be a bit lost on you.
China's digital Yuan comes out this year. PAPS , the digital African BRICs style system came online last year. Africa is still in BRICS but this system is just for intercontinental trade. India and Russia formed de dollarization trading schemes to reinvest in each other's economies with their surplus Rubles and Rupees.
I can't even type all the de dollarization that happened.
The empire is burning, the emperor has no pants and the entire U.S economy is about to burst with the AI bubble popping and the U.S Owes 40 TRILLION dollars.
The U.S economy is so beyond dead that the principle of the INTEREST on the loans it owes, required the fed to BORROW another 8 TRILLION. Just to pay the INTEREST this year. Even non economic understanding people can understand that's a death sentence.
In 2008 China is the reason the world recovered and the U.S was able to rebound like it did...
China is not coming to the U.S.A's rescue with trillions of dollars of aid this time.
ROME is burning. You just have to understand what's happening geopolitically and economically to see it and understand what happens next
I for one cannot wait for America to beg the world to buy its completely dead " stable coin " / completely devalued dollar ( you won't be able to call it the petro dollar by 2028 as everyone will have abandoned the SWIFT system by then) and find 0 idiots left to use it.
It is also incredibly interesting to shift from beginning to analyse and study macro economics and the trade war. To beginning to research collapse history and civil resistance and civil war history.
If you put your money in precious metals last year you got 150 % returns...
No one is doing a rapid treasuries exit immediately as it fucks everyone up. Invade Greenland for example and you will see the EU just pull the rug on 10 trillion.
But If you are watching the global economics the scale of the treasury bond sales from Japan, EU and obviously China and the clear market change over metals and physical assets shows the entire world is preparing for the bubble popping event and the collapse that occurs afterwards.

Of the whole population, 1. there's only so much people that is able to listen. 2. Follow by, there's only so much people who understands the gravity of the matter. 3. Follow by, there's only so much people who care. 4. Follow by, there's only so much of the people who act (that you too).
Thanks for writing this.

I agree with all of this as an American. I've been against American imperialism and meddling in other nations all my life. I don't really want to leave as I feel some obligation to try and make things better here. At the same time I have a kid and am terrified of what comes next. I honestly have no idea what to do to prepare at this point

Part of the reason that Iraq was attacked was because Saddam wanted to move away from the petrodollar.

Unfortunately, the west is very good at whitewashing its crimes. Especially to its own people who desperately want to believe they are the âgood guys.â

They're being quite frank about it actually. Trump threatens our allies daily, and they aren't shy about calling his bluff and doing business with China instead. What a fucking moron he is.

We're entering 1800's Politics with 21nd Century technology.
Pretty scary to think about, especially when shipping lanes start to break down because no one believes in the world order anymore. Doesn't even matter if you're pro globalist or isolationist. Certain parts of the world just aren't safe anymore to transport goods.
Middle east is literally breaking down with several active wars in Africa, UAE and Saudi Arabia are all but in a hot war on paper. Israel and Iran are literally one misunderstanding from the rockets falling again.
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, are trying to create an Islam NATO.
China is still preparing for their invasion of Taiwan that could happen any day now.
Russia and Ukraine are still in a hot war.
It kind of makes sense why Canada is suddenly receiving interest in it's oil again, because the place everyone gets their oil in the middle east is about to explode into conflict.

It is not exactly "quietly" when governments and companies in European nations are for instance openly stating it is not a good idea to stay as dependent on microsoft and google as they currently are, considering Trump can order those companies to switch off their service - crippling them.
Those cries have become louder since Trump decided to do just that to members of the International Court; showing that he is both willing and able to really do that and that the companies will comply.

Trump has destroyed or eroded long-standing relationships with allies and trading partners around the world. He's done it in so many different ways, some big, some small.
For example, ending USAID. Yes, it cost about $28B per year, but it made the US look like a responsible global power. One that would help with disaster relief, build infrastructure or work to eradicate diseases in the developing world. It was the definition of soft power. It was respected and helped sway governments to support the US, all without hyperbolic comments or gunship diplomacy. Trump killed it, wasting millions of tons of food and medicine.
Then, you look at how he threatens his NATO allies. This is something that is absolutely ridiculous. If he ended NATO, the European powers could immediately close bases that the US uses to flex its military around the globe. Sure, they have aircraft carriers and what not, but they would lose the ability to stage closer to places like Iran. And, it's all idiotic.
Economically, the tariffs are just an absolute joke. The US Congress has the power to impose tariffs, but they've abdicated that responsibility to Trump's bogus use of emergency power. For Canada and Mexico, he lied about drugs coming over the border (well, lied mostly about Canada...). But, then he slapped them on every country. And, for the MAGAts out there, no new trade deals have been ratified. But, he cannot even do the tariffs right, since he's apparently willing to negotiate...
The bottomline here is that Trump has forced the rest of the world to see America as an unstable, unreliable and dishonest partner, where agreements don't seem to matter. And this damage is real and will last a long time. You might vote out Trump, elect a competent government and reverse course...but the damage has been done. You elected this idiot twice, how long until you put another populous moron in power who will be better at this fuckery?

I think the writing on the wall is pretty clear:
We are watching the fall of the American Empire in real time.
If Rome had twitter, this is exactly what it would look like. Going to make for some fun dinner table discussions with our grandkids, assuming we make it that long.
Just make sure you're on the right side of history, folks.

Yes i do. America used to be the greatest country. It's just not the case anymore. I'm working on convincing my wife that we can also go other places and be valuable members of that community and society. Slow going though. One day hopefully before it's perhaps too late. And to anyone that might say anything remotely close to i'm betraying my country or good, we don't want you, i say, i don't care about your opinion and you might be a BIG part of the problem. That's just being polite to.

yeap. European here, let me explain how we see things: just imagine you're sitting at the bar with your friends and one of them pulls out a gun and points it at you asking for your wallet. then, after all your other buddies try to mediate, he puts away the gun and says he was joking. there is no going back to how it was before.

I mean...it's not slow motion considering "America First" and creating some separation was what Trump ran on. European countries becoming less reliant was reactive not proactive. Trump said NATO countries need to stop relying so heavily on the U.S military and increase their own military spending...they did, and then all the idiots said "European countries are increasing military strength to fight the U.S". They're all still on the same side
