I've interacted with a lot of Canadian 51st staters on this website. None are progressives but every single one is still liberal. Their only foundation seems to be "freedom" and "more money for me". No 51st stater is actually right wing.

@sleonardaz @KobeissiLetter Not to mention losing so many gulf state bases. I don't think they're going to be used by the U.S. again.

@KobeissiLetter So what did the U.S. gain from all of this? From what I read not a damn thing. We are in the exact same position as before the war. Trying to negotiate their nuclear development. This is more of the same. What a waste. Another neocon loss.

BREAKING: The US has released the full text of its 14-point "Memorandum of Understanding" with Iran. Key terms include: 1. The US, Iran, and their allies agree to immediately and permanently end military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon 2. The US and Iran agree to respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and not interfere in each other's internal affairs 3. The US and Iran commit to negotiating and reaching a final deal within 60 days, unless mutually extended 4. The US will begin removing its naval blockade immediately and fully end the blockade within 30 days 5. Iran will use its best efforts to ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days with no charge 6. The US and regional partners will develop a mutually agreed plan of at least $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development 7. The US will work toward terminating all types of sanctions against Iran, including UN, IAEA, primary, and secondary sanctions 8. Iran reaffirms that it will not procure or develop nuclear weapons and agrees to address its enriched material stockpile under IAEA supervision 9. Until a final deal is reached, Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, while the US will impose no new sanctions and deploy no additional forces 10. The US Treasury will issue waivers for Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, derivatives, and associated banking, insurance, and transportation services 11. The US will make frozen or restricted Iranian funds and assets fully available for use 12. The US and Iran will establish an executive mechanism to monitor implementation of the MOU and future compliance with the final deal 13. After signing the MOU and implementing key ceasefire, blockade, shipping, oil waiver, and asset-release provisions, the US and Iran will begin final deal negotiations 14. The final deal will be endorsed by a binding UN Security Council resolution The memorandum will trigger a 60-day window to negotiate a final deal.

@PaulaShan @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough I've been there many times.

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough You know shit about California. Probably you've never been there.

One distinction that I do notice in terms of immigration and culture when it comes to Canada vs. the US is that Americans are far more interested in Latino culture than Canadians are in Punjabi culture. A lot of Canadians get really mad when you suggest they should care, in fact.

@JoorgLucii @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Let me guess - you're a Mexican in California who wants to assert its always been your place. And your example for this is some architecture? What about palm trees? What about suburban designs? What about any number of other things?

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough pls shut the fuck up forever and never speak on us. Californias most iconic homes such as the Hacienda style of the Hollywood Golden age are inspired by its cultural heritage of being a part of the southwest. This Mexico/California divide is obsolete as both are cultural equals

@thevivafrei @willchamberlain You want Canada to be part of the U.S.

@willchamberlain Panican. Doom-piller. How dare you turn on Trump like this. That’s how this works, right?

We have the text, the deal is absolutely terrible, there's no getting around it. The text gives Iranians huge, immediate financial benefits and protection for Hezbollah in exchange for opening the Strait - and nothing else. President Trump should renege.

@JamesonCanada @FortySacks Most of those were standard Christian practice for 1500 years except celibacy for priests. The problem is the filioque and papal infallibility. Become Orthodox, and we don't worship idols, its veneration.

@FortySacks The position of the Pope single handedly keeps me away from ever converting to Catholicism, let alone the litany of other weird shit like infant baptism, worshipping/praying to/keeping idols of mortals (The Saints), and barring Priests from procreation.

*laughs in secular right*

@GoldRivers @FortySacks You can become Orthodox.

@FortySacks Mon gars, être né Catholique au Québec c'est une curse. Tous mes ancêtres et même moi-même avons encore des problèmes avec les institutions et c'est rendu presque impossible de réconcilier la foi et l'institution du Vatican. Surtout après qu'ils aient protégé des pédos. TBNK

@DavidWalshEire @JamesBlondGirl The British establishment seems to have a centuries-long hatred of Russia.

@JamesBlondGirl I do hope the German people will prove me wrong I do not want to be right about them I would say the same about many Brits too and other Europeans They want war... the media has convinced them they can win They have forgotten WW2 and the reality of real war

The Germans are longing for war with Russia. They try it at least once or twice a century. It is a deep psychosis in the German psyche that rises up every couple of generations and propels Germans to throw themselves against the Russian wall. It always ends in defeat & disaster. Germans have a psychotic hatred of Russia for defeating them every time. If they are stupid enough to go to war with Russia again this century it will be even worse than Barbarossa.

@Karoler210066 @GirkeHanjo @DavidWalshEire Dude what

@GirkeHanjo @DavidWalshEire Additionally: Germans defeated Russians in WW2 And USA and England both massively supported Stalin and the communists in ww2

@qozyboy @4natra @AridoAmSubstack What does any of this have to do with race hatred? I dont think I've said anything disparaging Mexicans in this thread. I just dont see them as meaningfully part of California from 1850 to the late 20th century.

@FreeSilver4 @4natra @AridoAmSubstack

About that….

@PCOwen_a @DavidWalshEire They have no desire to do so and would have preferred to leave Ukraine alone if NATO hadn't forced their hand.

@DavidWalshEire Russia insists on expanding towards the German borders (ask the Ukrainians, Balts, Poles and the Balkans for details). This is proactive aggression. The Germans were defending themselves and their sphere of interest.

@qozyboy @4natra @AridoAmSubstack That didn't clarify anything. You're just restating what you believe. How dumb do you have to be to say with a straight face that California was just as Mexican 50 years ago than it is today with the arrival of millions upon millions of MEXICANS. I've read some dumb things on X..

@FreeSilver4 @4natra @AridoAmSubstack spanish & mexican influence being extremely prevalent and synonymous with californian identity to this day. it didnt become any less or any MORE mexican thru recent immigration, it always was & probably will be, jus like southwest texas for example. ur analogies suck ass btw.

@qozyboy @4natra @AridoAmSubstack What is the original goal post then?

@FreeSilver4 @4natra @AridoAmSubstack dude stop moving the goalpost ur a retard lmao.

@ChayanneMaxxer @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Tell us more.

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Yes

@4natra @AridoAmSubstack California as a state began in the 1850s. Before that was an entirely different society. You can argue that with the arrival of millions of Mexicans California is now in some ways more like an extension of Mexico. But thats not how it was for over 150 years.

@FreeSilver4 @AridoAmSubstack The Spanish settlement of California literally defined the architecture, names of cities, locations of major cities etc. lol but sure white people did it

@TioKaiju @ReedEbbinghaus @petbyle @7th_overtone @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Thanks for the Yelp review.

@FreeSilver4 @ReedEbbinghaus @petbyle @7th_overtone @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough And? It seems you didn't learn...or didn't want to learn anything.

@Lombardo_99 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Well yeah but that proves my point. California IS more interwoven with Mexico TODAY because millions of Mexicans have entered. Those millions weren't there in such degree from the 1850s till recent decades.

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough There is a reason why Britain is different culturally (genetically as well) as the Netherlands, and whatever culture California has is partly from the hispanic period. Yes California was greatly populated by people from the east but it’s being populated by Mexicans today so 🤷‍♂️

@ReedEbbinghaus @petbyle @7th_overtone @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough I almost married a Mexican. I've been all over Latin America.

@FreeSilver4 @petbyle @7th_overtone @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough You are delusional. Mexican culture is overwhelmingly European in origin. You just can’t seem to accept that because they look too brown for you. And clearly you’ve never been to Mexico (ofc you’re from Canada) otherwise you’d know how phenotypically diverse they are

@JayDyer Are you familiar with the YouTube heretic John St Julien Baba Wanyama? He uses that term and spews various heresies.

Anyone calling Jesus Yeshua is immediately gonna spew 1000 heresies in under 2 minutes

@Tr0llvinTuCompa @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough By world standards during those centuries, very few people lived there, and a tiny fraction were Spaniards. For all intents and purposes, a new California emerged after 1850 with White settlement rapidly becoming the overwhelming element in growing the state's population.

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough "California solo fue de México por 25 años" Sí, vamos a ignorar los 300 años donde fue territorio novohispano

@Lombardo_99 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Many Celtic place names were preserved by Anglo Saxons when they expanded across Britain while in most ways Celtic culture was completely shut out. Its the same thing you're doing here, focusing on cultural artifacts against the general picture.

@FreeSilver4 @tiffyleeson @JJ_McCullough Most Californian cities are Spanish names. Just to look into what Californian aesthetics were in the 50s to agree they wet decently Mexican in influence
