That war was with the British Empire. And they wrecked pretty much everyone’s shit back then. Honestly it’s a miracle we even got a single win against them. At the Battle of New Orleans those redcoats that Andy Jackson whipped were veterans of the Peninsular Campaign, and they were hard men. They dealt out death and were not afraid to receive it.
The hilarious part is that all the pro-separatist laws they passed because of Quebec would work spectacularly well for Alberta to secede. And since it’s not viable as an independent state, being landlocked and all, the US would gain a 51st star on the flag. Alberta is the Canadian cultural equivalent of Texas so they’d fit right in.
Seems like just a couple of weeks ago he was a conservative hero for standing up to Disney
Then he took on Trump

It’s basically the theme of the movie “Fight Club”. Material prosperity but spiritual poverty. He has everything a man could want…except fulfillment. “The things you own end up owning you.”
Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off.
Ha! Day laborers! Why do you think the Roman elites were so big on open immigration of slaves! Citizens, you have to pay them! They’ll even revolt and form mobs and lynch you if you try to screw them over! Much better to import more and more slaves and give them bread & circuses so they stay calm while you’re doing it.
