AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Look, I'm not psychic. I can't tell you whether or not Donald Trump is going to *successfully* annex or invade Canada; although I will say that given the *vast* disparity between Canadian and US military capabilities, it's highly unlikely Canadian leaders would risk letting it get far enough to see "U.S. Marines marching on Quebec," so folks waiting for that before they deign to take this seriously are more or less promising to do nothing to prevent this. What I can tell you is these nazis do *not* have a sense of humor, the establishment portion of the America First fascist movement has been openly building the ideological arguments to seize Canada and trying them out in public settings for several years, and watching everyday Americans fall right back into a pattern of ignorant nationalism because they're pissed off at Canadians for booing our anthem in response to Trump's threats, doesn't give me faith in the idea that this is just another doomed-to-fail Trump fever dream. This is real, and it *is* a scandal that the Very Serious PeopleTM in America are not only failing to oppose it, but not even taking it seriously enough to discuss it.</p><p><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-threat-over-canada-scandal-172715816.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">yahoo.com/news/trump-threat-ov</span><span class="invisible">er-canada-scandal-172715816.html</span></a></p><p>Trump’s Threat to Take Over Canada Is a Scandal</p><p>"There are numerous reasons why Trump and his government’s pervasive blathering about turning Canada into the “51st state” shouldn’t be dismissed as a “Madman Theory”-negotiating tactic, or as performative MAGA trolling. During a private phone call last month, according to a Friday New York Times report, Trump “told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary. He offered no further explanation.”</p><p>Lately, Trump — a man who would never try to do anything world-historically rash like ending democracy in America — has told every news camera that would listen and broadcast his message to the world that he would like to rule Canada, one of the U.S.’s most vital allies. It’s not just Trump blurting it out: This has become the position of the United States federal government; his White House press secretary and his Homeland Security secretary are now, too, calling Canada “the 51st state.”</p><p>“Canada could do a lot more. Canada has been taken over, Bret, by Mexican cartels,” top Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro, bizarrely, told Fox News host Bret Baier on Wednesday, attempting to justify Trump’s tariffs. (At least Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt practically admitted the tariffs are about forcing Canada’s annexation.)"</p><p>As I've mentioned elsewhere, over the course of the past ten years I've spent warning people that the American establishment right has become an full-blown, openly fascist movement full of people who literally admire the Nazis, I've received a tremendous amount of pushback from too-clever-by-half people with college degrees insisting that I can't call what has now become the America First movement "fascist" because "they're not pursing an aggressively expansionist nationalist policy." Setting aside the fact that Americans are so drunk on bipartisan nationalism that I strongly question whether or not these folks would recognize it in the wild (a fact borne out by watching our establishment largely laugh off Trump's threats to annex Canada, seize Greenland, and carve up Ukrainian resource rights with Russia) there can be little question that the Trump regime is in fact "pursuing an aggressively expansionist nationalist policy" now that he's back in power; which stands to reason - after all, by necessity the Nazis didn't start invading Europe until they'd already seized political control of Germany because that's how wars work. Furthermore, the idea that Trump is not doing so until there are "boots on the ground" in Toronto is absurd; America has long been proficient in exercising soft power and flexing our economic might to transform other countries into puppet states and colonial extraction zones for American corporations - we just don't *usually* do it to countries full of white people, so the American media complex gives it little notice.</p><p>Finally, for those still clinging to the idea that there is no *reason* for these Nazis to want to invade Canada, let me be blunt. Climate crisis is real, as the entire planet burns the Pig Empire is openly entering a phase of rampant climate imperialism, and Canada is not only predicted to be less affected than the US by climate change in the short term, but they also have vast supplies of fresh water, heavily forested land, and natural resources extremely valuable to the billionaire tech company fascists actually running the Trump administration. Of course, a US discourse that ignores climate crisis and pretends corporate power doesn't control US politics, probably isn't going to mention that and would prefer to stick with "Trump cray tho."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ForeignPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeignPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nationalism</span></a></p>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Love to watch our fascist government weaponize already-existing American xenophobia and a 17+ month long, wholly mainstream and bipartisan campaign to conflate opposing a genocide with antisemitism and support for "terrorists," to construct an automated digital panopticon that absolutely *will* be used to hunt down anyone critical of the US regime regardless of whether or not they're "foreign" or "students" tho:</p><p><a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/06/state-department-ai-revoke-foreign-student-visas-hamas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">axios.com/2025/03/06/state-dep</span><span class="invisible">artment-ai-revoke-foreign-student-visas-hamas</span></a></p><p>Scoop: State Dept. to use AI to revoke visas of foreign students who appear "pro-Hamas"</p><p>"Secretary of State Marco Rubio is launching an AI-fueled "Catch and Revoke" effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups, senior State Department officials tell Axios.</p><p>Why it matters: The effort — which includes AI-assisted reviews of tens of thousands of student visa holders' social media accounts — marks a dramatic escalation in the U.S. government's policing of foreign nationals' conduct and speech.</p><p>The reviews of social media accounts are particularly looking for evidence of alleged terrorist sympathies expressed after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, officials say. Officials plan to examine internal databases to see whether any visa holders were arrested but allowed to stay in the country during the Biden administration.</p><p>They say they're also checking news reports of anti-Israel demonstrations and Jewish students' lawsuits that highlight foreign nationals allegedly engaged in antisemitic activity without consequence. The State Department is working with the departments of Justice and Homeland Security in what one senior State official called a "whole of government and whole of authority approach."</p><p>I'll give Axios partial credit for at least *implying* that this is all fascist made up bullshit; but only partial because they didn't actually say it and like most mainstream media orgs that are at least pretending to oppose fascism, they're relying on readers to read between the lines - a skill which most Americans simply do not posses if our political discourse is any indication. </p><p>So let's say it out loud for them: </p><p>The first thing you need to understand here is that Trump and the fascist movement have ALREADY defined ALL protest against Israel's genocide in Gaza as criminal in nature. Frankly, as far as I can tell, the Trump administration considers ALL protest a criminal activity, but they are particularly keen on prosecuting this viewpoint through attacks on anti-genocide protestors at American universities.</p><p>The second thing you need to understand is that this same fascist regime (and a significant portion of the American "centrist" establishment) have ALREADY defined opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza as being "pro-Hamas" and our government has officially labelled Hamas as a terrorist group, which unlocks a plethora of nightmare fascist enforcement and punishment options our governments installed in response to 9/11. Please keep in mind that whether you agree or disagree with the official designation of Hamas as a terrorist group is irrelevant, that's the law as presently constructed and you absolutely don't have to be pro-Hamas for these chucklefucks to say you are because you oppose facilitating a genocide and bombing fucking hospitals. </p><p>The third thing you need to understand here is that while the Trump regime is using foreign students as the thin end of the wedge to justify this war on free speech because Americans are xenophobic and their media has taught them to hate student protestors, the fact is that there is absolutely nothing stopping them from expanding their targets to include every American or person in America because we have laws and regulations on the books already that allow the US government to destroy your life and imprison you for supporting "terrorism" and they (and their fascist in-pocket judges) get to define what "supporting" and "terrorism" mean in this context. I mean I don't want to imply these folks give a shit about "rules" at all, but we've stupidly allowed the US government to essentially revoke our civil rights if they yell "terrorism" loud enough, legally.</p><p>Taken together then, all of that more or less indicates that the Trump administration is actively criminalizing opposition to American imperialism, criticism of American client states (particularly Israel,) and opposing a genocide. Pretending they might not MEAN to go that far like our media continues to do, is a very naïve position to take at this late a day and with the available evidence of how the Trump regime operates.</p><p>Finally, an aside - remember when I told you AI is literally "a fascism machine?" This is the kinda shit I meant; computers can't think and AI is garbage, but repression and violating the rights of millions of people, absolutely CAN be automated.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MarcoRubio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarcoRubio</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeech</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WhiteSupremacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhiteSupremacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ConspiracyTheories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConspiracyTheories</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a></p>
