    Fortunately, in the post-truth world we no longer have to be limited by the meanings of words or historical precedent. We can simply redefine geography whenever it suits us, others are already doing so with impunity. If the Gulf of Mexico can become the Gulf of America and South America can become the United Colonies of America, then why can’t Canada become Europe? Nobody gives a fuck anymore. This isn’t about getting marked correctly on an assignment, this is about survival in the face of the collapse of world order and building a fortress around social democracy before it’s divided and conquered.

      Doesn’t Canada have a land border with Denmark in one Arctic island or something similar?

      i mean europe is a made up continent anyway. If the ural mountains are continental boundaries then tell me why the rockies or the hymalayas aren’t?

      Europe is just code for “white asia”

        No, Trump did that. Technically Putin got the ball rolling by unilaterally annexing Crimea, and China’s been flirting with it for years over the South China Sea and Taiwan. This is the future of geopolitics whether you like it or not.
