I was infantry.

Casuals do not need automatic weapons.

look at you guys larping.

You know why we don't have that? Because Canada is a huge as fuck land-claim with an incredibly small population, and the state would be more concerned about anti-colonial or anticapitalist militias popping up than anything else. Canada is occupied territory.

People talking as though they take pride in their supposed fortitude against the US aren't the kind of people who understand what violence is like to live in by merit of thinking it would be glorious. I'm saying if you're someone who thinks it is a given that Canadians would stomp the US or whatever in a guerilla war, you are welcoming something that you do not understand.

Combined with deeply intertwined societies, inherently porous border and absolutely no clear signifiers of whether an unknown individual is Canadian or American? Even a very small insurgency will be nighmarishly hard to deal with.

Never mind that it’s not hard to picture there being true sympathizers in the states in real numbers.

You know what a thermobaric weapon is? You ever think about one landing on loved ones you live with; or living across the street from its target?

I don't doubt there's people who will fight back, I just know it isn't you or many if any of the people on this site. The demos skew older, middle-class, STEM employed white cishet men, and the diversity ranges typically still include privileged classes. No Canadian settler alive has experienced war at the end of an imperial weapon like the US military; or any military. So, no, I don't think the people on here who gleefully roleplay as guerilla freedom fighters from their desks really understand what they're talking about.
