Myself after being born into white trash in Texas, never having love for this country, having to stave off poverty for two decades during my lifetime, having taught myself code as my peers resigned themselves to manual labor, and having no options to emigrate out because I have no ties to any origin countries that make up my genetics.
I wish I could be a Canadian. I’d be friendly, helpful, and pay my taxes on time. I’m going to die impoverished in the “land of opportunity”.
I was did/heartened when I heard psychologists speaking out about how much more difficult their jobs have gotten since so many of the stresses people have been dealing with have moved to externalities rather than internalities. It is REALLY hard to help someone cope in the usual ways because the problems are real, we our lives and livelihoods are under existential threat, and we are relatively powerless in the face of it all. No amount of affirmations are going to make any of that better.

The ruling class benefiting from every aspect of all of this.
I think this thread proves that there needs to be a peanuts meme community
Quick, you need a mental health app and a prescription too. It’s not normal to be overwhelmed by this, you’re the only one.

If they come after me for opposing the regime. I’ll put down some firepower.
I’m surprised there isn’t a Texas -> Alberta immigration pipeline. The province wants to be like Texas so much!
I’d move to Alberta. Could someone put in a good word for me?
