This specific case seems less a matter of ‘lowering the temperature’, and more a single individual who’s completely unhinged.

There is a somewhat concerning number of unhinged people on the internet calling for/or at least hopeful for a US annexation, to fix the "woke" in Canada. Particularly if you wander into the cesspit of CGN's more political sub-forums...

Too many people terminally online in their weirdo echo-chambers, and not coming up for air in the real world.

Not to worry. They'll get all they need from their new vassal state of Venezuela.

Well yeah, sending every adult $5000 will definitely reduce demand for consumer goods and cause fuel prices to come down. Obviously.

Used to be my joints hurt from doing army stuff. Now they hurt from saving a baby-fumble and eating shit off a picnic table in the process.
