Contrarian Toddlers
The Current State of the United States
The toddler years are defined by chaos—emotional outbursts, irrational behaviour, an inability to consider long-term consequences. A toddler is selfish, destructive, and reactionary, unable to handle the simplest forms of discipline.
The United States of America has become that toddler, but with the most powerful military in the world and an economy whose collapse would send shockwaves through the global system. A toddler with nuclear weapons, a financial system that underpins the planet, and an insatiable thirst for power. This is not just an American problem. This is an existential crisis for Canada, for Europe, for every democratic nation left standing.
Thank you for the title:
Geez... a country where contrarian toddlers rule the day...

A Nation in Free Fall
This is not a temporary political phase. This is not just another election cycle. The United States has entered the final stages of its imperial decline, a violent, self-inflicted disintegration. The collapse is not being driven by outside forces—it is a deliberate, methodical dismantling of democracy from within.
The coup has already taken place. The transition from democracy to authoritarianism is not coming—it's here. The veneer of legitimacy remains intact only because the world refuses to acknowledge the reality. The U.S. Supreme Court is compromised, democracy is a failed illusion, and the rule of law has been replaced by brute force. Those in power are no longer pretending to hide their intentions. They don't have to.
Nazism in the Open
We no longer need to dance around the words. The ideology that has taken root in the United States government is fascism, repackaged for the digital age but fundamentally the same disease that spread across Europe in the 1930s. It thrives on fear, on manufactured enemies, on the idea that the nation must be cleansed—whether through voter suppression, cultural purges, or outright violence.
This is a movement that openly glorifies authoritarian leaders, that uses state power to crush dissent, that believes some people are more deserving of rights than others. It is a movement that looks at history’s bloodiest pages and sees a roadmap instead of a warning. It is a movement that has wrapped itself in the American flag, but its true allegiance is to control, to power, and to the destruction of anything that stands in its way.
And now, this movement controls the United States.
The Global Fallout
The world cannot afford to wait for America to "figure it out." There is no going back. There is no great correction. This is the new reality. Every nation must immediately begin planning for a world where the United States is not an ally, but a destabilizing force—where its economy is a weapon wielded at the whims of a dictator, where its military might is turned inward in a purge, or outward in a desperate last grasp at dominance.
Canada stands on the front lines of this crisis, whether it acknowledges it or not. The economic warfare has already begun, with tariffs weaponized as a tool to punish and extract. The rhetoric is shifting—Canadians are being framed not as allies, but as adversaries, as obstacles in the way of America’s expansionist vision.
And yet, Canada remains silent. Hoping, as it always does, that staying quiet will mean staying safe. That strategy will not work this time.
A World Without American Protection
For decades, the world has operated under the assumption that the United States, for all its flaws, was still a stabilizing force. That assumption is now a liability. Nations that have relied on American leadership—militarily, economically, diplomatically—are now dangerously exposed.
European leaders whisper about contingency plans, but the urgency is not there. The reality has not yet set in. The world still clings to the belief that the United States will course-correct, that there are enough "good people" left to pull it back from the brink.
But the machinery is already in motion. The institutions that once kept American democracy intact have been hollowed out. The courts are compromised. The electoral system is rigged. The opposition is outgunned, outmaneuvered, and running out of time.
There is no cavalry coming. There is no last-minute save.
What Comes Next
There are three paths forward, none of them good.
1. America Turns Inward and Becomes a Fortress
If the authoritarian takeover solidifies completely, the U.S. will withdraw from the global order and become an isolated, militarized empire. Trade will collapse, alliances will dissolve, and the economic ripples will be catastrophic. Canada will be forced to redefine its entire geopolitical position. Europe will scramble to hold itself together. The world’s financial systems will fracture, and the global power structure will be rewritten.
2. America Lashes Out
Cornered regimes are the most dangerous. If the new leadership sees decline as inevitable, it may choose expansion over collapse. Military aggression—whether economic or physical—could become the default strategy. Under the guise of "securing national interests," conflicts could erupt across multiple fronts, dragging allies and adversaries alike into a global conflict.
3. America Fractures
The third possibility is civil war. Not a political metaphor—an actual, armed conflict between factions within the country. The signs are already there. Mass polarization, violent rhetoric, militias growing in both number and boldness. The conditions for a second American Civil War are being written into reality every single day.
The rest of the world must be prepared for any of these scenarios.
Canada’s Last Warning
For Canada, the era of passive diplomacy is over. The idea that the U.S. will always be a "big brother" is outdated and dangerous. Canada must act—immediately—to secure its economy, its defence, and its sovereignty. It must break its reliance on American stability, because that stability no longer exists.
Canada must prepare for a future where the United States is an economic and military threat, not a protector. It must fortify its institutions against foreign interference, build independent trade networks, and redefine its alliances.
This is about survival.
The End of the Illusion
The world has been slow to accept reality. People still speak of American democracy as though it is a given, as though it still exists in any meaningful way. But the United States of 2025 is not the United States of the past.
The toddler has become a monster. And the world must stop pretending it can be reasoned with.
The time for warnings is over. The time for action is now.

The toddler has become a monster. The U.S. coup is complete—Nazism wrapped in the American flag. Canada must act NOW. The world must prepare for an empire in free fall, or a war for control. The time for illusions is over.
