    You should read my other comment here on the casual interest in military history and inflated sense of authority with which you guys talk about this. You can’t make a comment like you made and then pretend it doesnt underplay the gravity of this possibility; especially after suggesting that, somehow, people in colonized spaces don’t have the fighting heart of some of the most privileged settlers in the fucking world.

    Yeah, sure dude, totally, you understand what it is enough to know when it is “needed.” Cowardly.

      I would think that a career of over fifteen years in the Canadian Armed Forces after having escaped from a country torn by civil war and genocide might give me some background in the topics of military force, the willingness of the CAF to fight and armed resistance against tyranny, but, as citizens of a (relatively) free country, we are all entitled to our opinions and allowed to voice them.

        Why the fuck would being in the military give you a working understanding of the culture and history of US and Canadian imperialism? You an aerospace engineer too?

        If anyone in the CAF cared about tyranny, they wouldn’t be there.
