Okay, and I’m telling you that’s not something you can do quickly. There’s a reason new dictators usually stand up a separate force.

Eh, not exactly. That would be telegraphed literal years in advance as they would have to entirely rebuild the officer corps to be loyalists to them specifically. Right now the military leadership puts a lot of stock in the Constitution, so much so that the last time Trump tried to order them to go after BLM protestors, they not only refused the order, they then sent a memo to the entire force reminding them of the exact wording of their oath.
Tell me what year exactly the Soviets or Chinese practiced the workers owning the means of production?
It’s a cold calculus but letting them kill someone first means the army has the moral and narrative high ground when the Army Rangers black bag these guys at 3 in the morning.
Sometimes I can’t believe anything.
Oh that’s interesting. Because we all think of the British accent as code for colonial period speech on TV shows.
I’ve used gotten for decades in the US?
It’s also true. It’s a great way to bring home the reality to people who still think climate science is about preserving some wetlands while we continue as normal.
It’s still funny.
You better run and tell all the cities then, because they don’t care.
Look up how many times “Food Not Bombs” gets arrested for feeding the homeless.
I’m not even a boomer and that hurts.
Jokes on you I zoomed in and out on the original and now the can appears white no matter what.
I answered your grade school attempt to box me in with an assumed premise. And better would be to at the very least, condition military aid on the effective distribution of food aid to Gazans.
Whatever drugs you’re taking I’m going to want some when you guys zombie walk us into another Trump presidency.
It’s a random number based system with iterations at 4, 8, 10, 12, and because they want people to go insane, 20.
So everything can randomly be 1-20 at any point in time, and then sometimes you add them together and there’s maniacal laughter.
I guess everyone sets up their own tables.
We’re fast approaching the point at which there are no more bad ideas. But yeah for now, it’s best to try and prevent any major incident while not letting the authoritarians win. Countries do not come out the same way when either of those things happens. And the chance that it’s a change for the better is remote.
