For decades, Canadian governments, both Liberal and Conservative (under Brian Mulroney), wisely declined to participate in earlier versions of the Golden Dome under former U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Canada’s refusal was largely on the grounds that these so-called “missile defence” systems are not just defensive. In fact, they undermine arms treaties and encourage arms races.

    Strange question perhaps, but with 13k posts in a year and your ubiquitous presence on lemmy, what do you do for a living that you’re paying taxes? Like does lemmy somehow employ you?

    Edit: heh, downvote all you want I guess. but whether it’s an individual or some organisation that’s posting 13-14k links + 6-7k comments in a year, it’s clearly a lopsided contribution that’s going to steer communities / content trends. I mean the entire Canada community has just 11.7k posts to it. Any individual or group doing that sort of thing deserves to be questioned / scrutinized.

        Maybe, though she could also be a paid propagandist – many of her posts have a certain bias to them. I’m honestly just curious, given the volume of posts she seems to make.

          oh i wouldn’t dobut shes part of some organization. There’s alot of citizen groups popping up on the right and the left. facebook has a big one called the dominion society thats starting to post flyers in public and they are basically white supremacists. i wouldnt doubt this person is a radical left version of that. hell, lemmy is home to futher left leaning people, they outnumber the people who would be more right or radical right
