    I don’t know what you’re trying to get me to say but your country has repeatedly threatened us (Canada) with annexation and has tariffed us to the point where people I know are barely holding onto their jobs. The thing that angers me the most about it is the fact that Americans don’t even seem to consider the annexation threats a factor in why Canadians are angry at them. The amount of propaganda your country pumps into its people means that a majority of even the most progressive people are thoroughly brainwashed into believing that getting to be American is actually a blessing

    I can assure you that I don’t have anything nice to say about the US no matter the hypothetical scenario

      Do you think the UK should’ve won the War of 1812 or the UK should’ve won the American Revolutionary War altogether? Also, do you think this country would be better off under socialism/communism (like in “Reds! A Revolutionary Timeline”), and do you think I should study socialist/communist theory a bit more? If so, do you have anything short from RedSails that I can study (using Cowbee’s method of taking each paragraph and boiling down to simple terms and such which is a pretty good and easy study method, to be honest)?

        I can’t answer any of your questions unfortunately. I don’t know what repercussions the UK winning the war of 1812 would bring but my uneducated knee-jerk opinion would be that I think North America would have been better off as individual colonies turned countries rather than massive states. I think an EU style system with much smaller countries would have prevented what the US became. But again, that’s just my uneducated opinion and I haven’t put a lot of thought into it

        For the communism stuff: I am not nearly well read enough about it to recommend anything
