I think it's more about class warfare than healthcare specifically. All my European friends are cheering him on too despite not experiencing hardship with healthcare

Everyone in Canada here loves him too. It’s absolutely about class warfare.

I mean....that doesn't count. Canada loves EVERYODY. It's the Mr Rodgers of countries. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm just saying it carrys about as much weight as your grandma pinching your cheek and saying you're the MOST handsome boy.

You should pay more attention to history. Specifically the wars we have been in...

Lol you should ask Indians how they are being treated in Canada right now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which Indians, the answer would probably be the same though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

We refer to first nations as indigenous in canada

Aside from the fact that you just offered a stereotype as an argument, you didn’t even get the stereotype right. Canadians don’t love everyone. Canadians are nice. That’s the stereotype.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

.....stereotype?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And we aren't even nice. We are just spineless and struggle with honesty. It's all just for show

I’ve now lived long enough to actually meet a couple of Canadian assholes. They exist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Are you saying I'm not nice :(

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

See Starlight Tours for an insight into friendly Canadian police :/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

lol we don’t love everyone. Ask a Canadian how they feel about Americans.

My girlfriend was very much in the club of “murder is bad no matter what” until I explained exactly why a health insurance CEO would be targeted.

I've been really wrestling with my own anti-violence and the now-obvious fact that violence gets results.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Violence, bribery and blackmail.

Europeans are famously derisive of the American healthcare system though, so for whatever reason they seem to care specifically about his impact on that. I think in general America looms large around the world, economically, militarily, culturally. And certainly online. Having something to feel superior about seems to provide a channel for pent up frustration or resentment. Because believe me there’s no other reason for Europeans to care as much as they do about how much my healthcare costs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

As an American: it’s absolutely both.
