[–] 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (14 children)

I had to delete my Canadian friends off my social media because they were both rabid pro facist Trump supporters. The last one was celebrating the annexation of Venezuela. It was weird AF

    Let me take a wild guess where in Canada they're from...

    Well, I was wrong, but not surprised

    as an Ontarian, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural

    and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don't understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won't judge sexual preferences)

    Hey, I'm from where you are suggesting, and I'm also emphatically against whats going on. Both domestically and internationally. I think most my age are. The only people propping this shit up are boomers (inherent racism from the 'good ol' days' + susceptible to social media rage baiting) and people that we grew up with that always latched onto minority causes and viewpoints because they thought it was so edgy. Basically the people that were clearly not going to amount to much. It's revenge of the dumb.

    Hey bruh, I'm a Millenial in America and thought the same thing about Conservatives/Republicans. "They're all a stupid minority, no one sensible feels this way."

    Please, for the love of god, don't discount the right-winged weirdos around you. Ignoring those "edgelord cases" who were "never going to amount to anything" are exactly how we got a second Trump term. Use us as a warning.

    They're fucking dumb, yet terrifyingly effective. Keep up the boycotts & public criticisms, we support you!

    Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.

    One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women's rights. The can't see the contradiction for the "I have freedom and prosperity in the USA"

    I haven't stopped talking to these people (I mean I don't talk to them, but I keep connections). I only do this, because the sun will eventually rise, and I want to make sure their behavior haunts them for the rest of their lives. Especially in one of the cases.

    There were actual Venezuelans in Canada celebrating the abduction. They have easy access to information about what happened in Iraq over the last 20 years, but it doesn't matter. That would require going out and finding the information, rather than being fed it by automated algorithms.

    Instead of cutting ties you should keep the light exposed on them. Cutting them off just leaves them with all like minded friends in an echo chamber
