Maybe we've always been the bad guys, but it sucks that the US is openly being the bad guys now. This isn't the country I was indoctrinated to think it was. Sad.

The US have always been the bad guys. Even independence was about being able to do more genocide and land stealing without the British getting in the way.

Canada also has a brutal history of both slavery and genocide.

Accepting that is the first step to overcoming systemic racism and building communities that we can all thrive in.

People dont own land anymore. We live and die in ever-inflating rental properties.

My parents are teachers. They own land. It's not quite as impossible as people like to pretend. Hell, my 20 year old cousin has a house

You're right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can't afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.

You said people. There's plenty of people who can afford a home. I get that it sucks for you, but there's many who can. It isn't just a rich person thing.

And no, I don't think they're pretending, I think you're being overdramatic.
