Purchase a long rifle and shoot it often. I say this as a staunch pacifist. Having a weapon and using it are two different things. For a thousand reasons, if a genuine war broke out it would likely destroy America. Unfortunately, likely taking Canada with it.

Regardless, be armed and be prepared. It is not as bleak as you may think, even in the worst case scenario. Best case scenario nothing happens and you take up hunting or target shooting as a hobby!

We’re pretty reasonable with moderation here. The way Lemmy works, mod actions are recorded publicly for transparency. You can access those records here, but as a warning before you open the page, “Some deleted posts may contain disturbing or adult material”: https://lemmy.ca/modlog

So far we’ve only banned users site wide when it was a consistent problem (ex. spam bot, harassing other users). However, we do need to remove comments that are clearly against the law in Canada, else we couldn’t keep operating.

It really comes down to what the comment is. If you look through the threads on here, a lot of people are already expressing how they feel, or what Canada’s/Canadians’ response should be. Where it might be a problem is if someone says they’re going to do something violent/illegal, or call for someone else to do it

Hopefully that makes sense?

Just save it… and when the time comes… we do what we gotta do

You will be less likely to be banned. Still, be reasonable, tactful and don’t be a dick about it, even if I get that you came here to express your genuine feelings.

“Kill [person of interest]” is off limits here and on many other servers, but there are ways you can describe how your frustration in ways that aren’t illegal or personally charged. “Fuck [person of interest]” is nearly universally allowed here. Even if not banned, the outcome of whether you are upvoted to heaven or downvoted to hell will depend on the person and the context.

I can totally relate to you in those regards.

There’s one way to find out.
