Get the cast a vote for trumpmug. The day where Canadians experienced a nation-wide internet outage, causing people to flock to the nearest malls and Starbucks to use its Wi-Fi. Public apparatuses such as ATMs and PoS systems were rendered unusable, forcing thousands of businesses across Canada to close shop for the day.
Also goes to show that Canada's internet monopoly needs to fucking die (and lower their damn prices).

Guy 1: Hey remember July 8, 2022?
Guy 2: Wasn't that the day where Rogers themselves couldn't even access the internet to announce the outage?
Guy 1: Ye lol

Get the July 8, 2022mug. Essentially, a rather egoistic and vindictive form of nationalism where one nation goes above and beyond to pursue an occupied land/territory as rightfully belonging to them. Usually, such nation will have some elaborate backstory as to why this land belongs to them and them only. Sometimes, this backstory turns out to be true, while other (if not most) times it turns out to be founded on complete lies and grandiose nonsense. Regardless of the veracity of these claims, Irredentism is known for being a very destructive ideology/policy that has been the fuel of some of the world's most brutal invasions and massacres (e.g. Israeli–Palestinian conflict, American-Aboriginal Wars, Sabra and Shatila massacre, Russo-Ukrainian War).
More often than not, Irredentism is used as an illegitimate excuse by certain political figures to justify their claims and seizing of a territory.

Get the Irredentismmug. Somebody who, in the face of opposition, symbolizes a glowing positive force in this cruel mocking world. Somebody who speaks the truth and does not ever second guess themselves, despite being attacked and humiliated for speaking the truth. Somebody whose only source of truth is derived from the scientific method and not from existing policies. Somebody who doesn't let their age, gender, disability or any other stereotype get in the way of spreading positive wholesome change. To be like Greta Thunberg takes great courage, as they aren't just going against the current of a river but the current of the entire ocean. Being like Greta Thunberg also means acting completely within one's own agency.
Unfortunately in this rather cynical day and age, people often misconstrue another person's words and intentions. It is not a coincidence that most of these people are adults and older folks. Psychologically speaking, as the more older one becomes, the less tolerant they are to adopt new ideas, attitudes, and changes.
So, at heart, Greta Thunberg's war is mostly with the older generation who lack the mental flexibility to change their outdated mindsets. There is more hope to be seen here with Thunberg's generation, at least with regards to the awareness and radical action towards environmental sustainability (mind you, this is for the sake of humanity, not politics!). Once the older generation has gone the way of the dodo, Greta Thunberg will become even more relevant than ever.

My young daughter is like Greta Thunberg, she is always dismayed that nothing significant is being done to combat the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

Get the Greta Thunbergmug. Someone who is extremely good at manipulating and deceiving people for their own selfish gain. Examples of Machiavellians include, but are not limited to: IRS scammers, sugar daddys, e-girls, e-prostitutes, black hat hackers, Donald Trump, your girlfriend (potentially), sketchy sellers on Aliexpress, and that guy down the street who claims he is homeless.
If you are a Machiavellian, please do take note that machiavellianism begets machiavellianism. Research has shown that people who have been psychologically manipulated are more likely to manipulate others.

Dude 1: So I heard you bought some custom videos from this e-girl on Reddit, how'd that go for you?
Dude 2: Extremely bad. I thought she was legit and everything, she even showed me a screenshot of the video, but once I had paid her she never replied back.
Dude 1: Damn dude, I mean I wouldn't have trusted some random internet girl in the first place. The online sex market is filled with Machiavellians, y'know?
