Hitler’s American model describes Hitler’s dreams to match the power of the colonial powers of the day, Britain and France. But his inspiration came from the colonies themselves. In this book the American model with regard to race is explored, rather than canadian systems, but clearly Canada is not very different in that regard.
Some highlights:
The Nazis found that the one-drop rule was too harsh - (only because mixed Jews were somewhat white-passing whereas mixed Black people couldn’t pass and remained legally Black).
Manifest Destiny inspired Lebensraum (probably Canada and Australia too).
Nazi Race Law/Blood laws and second class citizenship laws for Jews were inspired by similar laws in the US (‘legal realism’ justification’).
Are you denying that Canada is a colonial project? Or are you mad that other people on the internet are aware of your Yaroslav Hunka problem? Of which there are many in Northern America from what I hear.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man makes cringe or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who makes cringe, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without cringe and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he makes cringe, at least makes it while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor cringe.”
I fail to see the nuance in situations like residential schools. Could you perhaps educate me so I can come to a more informed conclusion than sending thousands of indigenous Canadians to schools designed to stripped them of their culture is a bad thing to do.
The country has acknowledged the atrocities of residential schools for many years. If you want to criticize the current state of affairs by all means go ahead, but you are not contributing to the discussion in any way by pointing out residential schools were a bad thing.
There is a large portion of the country that still denies it. In catholic schools they don’t take that native remembrance holiday off. Which is crazy to me.
Well for one there’s been leaps and bounds in paying reparations to first Nations groups, and despite not paying taxes they still get regular economic, infrastructure, and other help from the government. We have an entire truth and reconciliation commission dedicated to fixing the mistakes of the past.
It’s not a perfect situation and progress is needed, but reductive posts like this do nothing to help the discussion up here. Our own problems get drowned out by Americans simplifying them for their small brains and regurgitating
And 9/10 times when you see one of these posts, it’s from an American (and/or largely commented on by Americans saying “Canada bad!”)
We spent a hundred years as allies, and then the two dumbest presidents to ever exist poisoned our relationship, and now the only time an American even mentions Canada it’s either to dunk on us for their own satisfaction or to make an argument in their senseless “Left” vs “Right” culture war screaming match.
I hated it at the time, but I legitimately miss the days when it was all “eh” and “hoser” and “maple syrup”, sure it meant they didn’t know anything about us, but at least it wasn’t this endless negativity.
I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about, left leaning Americans seem to talk about Canada positively all of the time, in reference to its health care system and generally aboit how they want their country to be more like Canada. The only thing negative they say is in reference how native people have been treated and still continue to be treated there which I think is right.
I am not from either country and this is just based on what I see Americans online say about Canada/Canadians.
You mean they mention us when it is politically convenient for them? That is exactly the “Left” vs “Right” culture war I was talking about, you disagreed with me then said exactly what I was saying lol, they only ever mention us to dunk on us (largely the right doing this, because they view us as a left wing country) or for their political screaming match (the left regarding healthcare, or again because they view us as a left wing country).
Might be about straw shortener? Seems to somehow have become a hot topic again in some circles.
For those not i the know, popular growth regulators used to shorten straws, as to prevent lodging during rains, has been known to cause hormone imbalances in humans, such as reduced fertility rates of men. Not sure if the growth regulators still are this dangerous, but they have been, and still are, banned in some countries.
It’s an antimeme. The original meme is meant to show 2 separate, unrelated objects, with the implication that the first thing was destroyed in the process of creating the second object. In this case, the first object (wheat) really is used to create the second object (bread), hence the antimeme
Websites use stock pictures with blank clothing and then just Photoshop all the different styles of the clothing on top of the original, since a lot of them are designed in China or by people who just don’t care at all, they miss stuff like this or just think it doesn’t matter. I can’t speak to why OP posted this, but that’s why it exists.
In case you don’t know, they take images of models wearing blank shirts and then photoshop many different t-shirt designs onto the images. The person in this photo never wore the shirt.
This post isn’t racially motivated or anything. I just found this image amusing, but not traditionally ‘funny’ enough to go on an actual meme subreddit, so here we are
