Wait, wait, let me try it. "You Canadians are all alike, always painting whole countries with the same broad brush!"

But not to condemn them; rather, to incentivize them to improve their countries so that their countries no longer ARE shitholes? Right?

I'm generally against military interventionism, because it's wasteful and inspires enmity toward the U.S., which jeopardizes our national security rather than advancing it. But if we were constantly being invaded by Canadian narcoterrorist cartel activity, that would be the place to send our military, to scour that shit out of the country of origin. Just as an example of the principle.

By contrast, the "police action" in Vietnam was fucking stupid. That country turning Commie had fuck-all to do with us and we had no business wasting blood and treasure there.

Well, "other-izing" them as "typical Americans" makes it a shade easier than otherwise, wouldn't'cha say? :)

Establishing them as a group entity, verbally distancing them from yourself, which created a conceptual 'other group'. Yeah. You can be xenophobic about any 'other group', even a constructed one.

You seem to be the type of person that is just looking to be offended by everything. If you saw someone with a saber, you'd launch yourself at them and blame them for getting stabbed.

Not at all. But I'd point and laugh at a goofball wandering around with a cavalry sword in the 21st century.
