Watch “Don’t Talk to the Police”

He’s rotten and party loyal enough that he’ll probably be around until the end of the regime.

Theoretically the judicial should be considered nonpartisan and objective when talking about this but we know that’s a load of crap now.

I remember when they started talking about mass deportations they were saying 4 million people. An insane number on its own.

During the debate it was 8 million.

Now it’s ballooned to up to 15 million people.

Personally I think this is a lie, an excuse to put together a massive apparatus of detainment and processing. I doubt they will only loose it on illegal immigrants.

No. I’m saying that’s how the issue has been handled historically, possibly deliberately in some cases, but more likely just coincidentally. Not that we need to go back to it in some exercise in eugenics. “The issue” being something to do with an outmoded view of masculinity that was never substantially replaced as the world got less violent and dire. I would rather fix that. How? I don’t know.

That said, your disgust with the phenomenon does not necessarily make it wholly untrue. Right now we have a bunch of maldeveloped, entitled sex pests with violent ideation who just helped vote in a thousand-year Reich. “Burden” is not the right word for them. Rejected by polite society, they have had no outward outlet for their chauvinism and rage, and so they have turned it inward on the rest of us.

How many American military age men do you think are going to be killed in the next 5-10 years?

I sometimes wonder if this is a mass psychosis of sorts that happens when you have a surplus of military age men. In history how many of these impotents would just be given a spear or a rifle and told to go die for the Emperor/King/Fatherland on some pointless military adventurism? Then they wouldn’t have the time to ruminate and make up their own cause to lash out for. “Women are against you, academia is against you, society itself is against you.”

They wont make it a total free for all, they’ll still want their victims as defenseless as possible. I would not be surprised if gun stores start asking for proof of Party affiliation before any purchase. Courts will say “private business nothing we can do lmao.”

It’s somewhat like Dark Souls in that there’s appeal in mastering the enemies you fight in predicting their moves and timing your own. Finding a weapon that jives with you, buildcrafting, etc. It is a circular gameplay loop in that you kill monster, cut them up, use pieces to make gear, use gear to hunt better monsters…but that’s not a bad thing I think.

It can be a more challenging game than it might seem on its face, especially Freedom Unite, and especially with the limited control schemes of the older portable consoles. I started with 4U and find I struggle going back to it after playing World and Rise.

I’ll throw in with the other replies. Everything in this comment is political discourse from 2006. Disagreeing with the opposition’s policy and at most suggesting that they’re dishonest about it.

Right now we’re worried about the GOP and their figurehead bringing about one-party rule and loosing the military on their domestic opposition.

I’d want to wind the clock back too, even if it means having to eye roll at conservative rhetoric like this now and then.

It can sometimes speak to the suspect’s state of mind. A large number of historical firearms neatly displayed in a secured room is different from 2 dozen loaded AR-15s strewn about in every room of the house “in case BLM comes knocking.”

When you get to hundreds of guns it is quite often a situation of compulsive hoarding. Not necessarily criminal, but often careless (as leaving unsecured firearms around is careless), and indicative of mental health issues.

Neighbors describe this specimen as a “January-6-type-guy” and avoided him.

Speaking as someone with his own gun collection, weapon collecting will always be considered eccentric at best. You’re going to have to live with that stigma.

Because if and when we get into a position to deal consequences to these freaks, I don’t want them to be able to say they were just goofy little guys who got in over their head. They may have many bouts of incompetence, but that’s not the core problem.

The problem is that the GOP and the people who make it are, willfully, a traitorous, criminal, and rogue organization that is no longer interested in playing by the rules.

incompetence

It’s malice.

I think DPRK’s hope is that at least some soldiers and officers will return with some modern combat experience, something that their military organization is dreadfully lacking. It could end up being a bigger problem down the road for ROK even if they lose a few thousand bodies.

Specifically he murdered POWs, once with a knife, and then threatened to kill any of his team that ratted on him.

He is kind of the poster child of the disdain conservatives have for modern rules of engagement. They still think he was falsely maligned and that he only “did what he had to do.” Of course, that’s why he was pardoned. They need people like him going forward.

I don’t have links handy right now, but take a look at DeSantis’ Florida State Guard.

1. Unlike the National Guard it only answers directly to the Governor of Florida and there is no precedent for the federal government to take command of it.
2. It was publicly billed as a sort of disaster relief agency, but volunteers reported that significant amounts of training time was being dedicated to paramilitary topics like riflery and small unit tactics.
3. There is also a small (30-50 people) QRF, SWAT-like element to this organization, and it got out that they were receiving paramilitary training from a private organization that currently employs convicted war criminal Eddie Gallagher, if you remember that fucker.

I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.

There was just a story about a group of surrendering Russian soldiers getting shelled by Russian artillery. It isn’t 100% clear that it was intentional, but its hard to not envision it as a throwback to the Soviet penal legions of old.

I’m sure by now they have figured out (or rediscovered, more likely) tactics to minimize the risk of their conscripts folding, sadly.

To protect a future, thoroughly fascist America from the rest of the free world should the GOP seize permanent power.

I guess that’s the pageantry of politics, but in more pragmatic terms it’s pretty clear where Trump falls. Zelenskyy specifically is on Trump’s shitlist because he didn’t play ball with his “dirt on the Bidens” scheme. And Trump is transparently compromised by Putin in one way or another, and is going to rule warmly in favor of Ukraine’s abuser no matter what.

Any other nuance or angle that could be worked is literally beyond Trump’s reasoning or memory. A waste of time.

I’m surprised Zelenskyy met with him at all. It’s hard for me to think of a reason why this wouldn’t be an aggravating waste of his time.
