And I hope you enjoy that feeling as you get “cavity searched”.

Cool, then Sieg Heil to you, mein guter Herr. Enjoy your moral superiority when ICE kicks in your door.

Than the people you criticized. They got off their asses and touched grass for a few hours, met other likeminded individuals, networked, got to know allies in their communities. What are you doing, Comrade? Other than rereading the Communist Manifesto for the zillionth time? Where’s your praxis?

And you’re doing… what, exactly?

So do something about it, or you’re just as much a part of the sheep.

Come over and lead the revolution then, if you think you’ve got what it takes. Otherwise, you’re also doing nothing of note.

Please, if you feel like you’ve got the charisma and plan to rally us to, come on over and do so. Otherwise you’re doing no better.

In my division, everyone unanimously agrees that the administration is absolutely stupid and indefensible. Of those, every last one would outright defy any order to “kill half the population”. We talk about it all the time - including with my Chief. ~60% of the officers I speak to also believe that the administration is conducting unlawful actions, and about 70% believe the administration is engaging in actions harmful to the socioeconomic and geopolitical standing of the USA. >80% of the enlisted personnel in other divisions at my command likewise agree that the administration is making stupid and indefensible decisions, and all of them would outright defy any order to “kill half the population”.

Any other questions, civilian?

Why don’t you write out for us, on this unencrypted and public platform, what you’re proposing?

Active duty military here. You’re out of your mind if you think there won’t immediately be a coup if that order gets passed.

Something you shouldn’t be talking about on Lemmy.

Defund the pigs.

Matrix?

Okay, then, is Nazi Germany a democracy? It has votes, after all. How about fascist Italy? Is that a democracy?

Nah, not riot. Riots are disorganized, and often hurt the local community and neighborhood rather than the actual perps. Look up your local chapter of the SRA and attend.

Yes please. We’re trying, we’re in the streets, but yes please.

What is, de facto, stopping them, if they decide the Constitution and the law are toilet paper to wipe their asses with?

I’d like to see the government that failed in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq try to take out a real insurgency on the home front. Every garbage bag an IED, every car a bomb.

Can’t enact disproportionate violence if at least half the military mutinies. And that’s no longer the impossibility it used to be.

Unironically yes. There’s someone out there who is on the other side of the digital divide that would absolutely want any kind of access to what you currently take for granted.
