Kinda wild. I really gotta leave and get out of this pile of a dumpster fire I’m in, and head to Canada or someplace. This screenshot is just insane. I have no words for what I’m seeing here in this screenshot.
Glad I no longer post to reddit anymore. May go ahead with a essentially full block of reddit and essentially all of Big TV outright at some point. I’ve thought about cutting off Big TV completely; as hearing from American news media has been driving me on the verge of outright mental insanity, but now it seems like I gotta cut Big TV outright.
I’ve never been so thankful and glad to be on Lemmy and Mastodon for this wild ride since the start. I’m realizing just how dire it is out there. Having to get this off my chest with nowhere to vent to. Now I just need to find a Lemmy community or something that helps with people coping with this insanity, because I might need to hide this community again otherwise for my sanity. I already had most of the news and politics communities hidden on Lemmy to manage the flow of insanity, but went back and forth on this one this week.
Holy sheesh. Should I take this at face value? Seems plausible.
The thing about implementing tariffs for a day then turning it off again after 24 hours to “test whether cheetoland’s or the Canada’s ecnomy crashes or not” seems too good to be true. The thing about destabilizing Canada with (social) media campaigns, then I remember the fact that I’ve already seen dozens of posts of “American media pretending to be Canadian” right here on Lemmy.
This article literally screams “get out ASAP” to me like it’s ringing alarm bells. I’ve never felt so scared or paranoid. Is this the thing that convinces me that I gotta leave my hellscape I’m in and emigrate elsewhere?
