  • This. I personally think they hacked the election, and they also purged the voter rolls.

  • The GOP effectively purged almost 5 million votes from the voter rolls.

    Look how many votes trump won by.

  • Maybe, just maybe, if you wanted to exist peacefully with your neighbors you'd stop indiscriminately bombing civilians and violating their civil rights.

    Those people deserve to live in peace just as much as you. Stop being the aggressor. It's not fucking hard.

  • Here's where Israel fucked up with their supporting trump play.

    If the whole world has turned their back on the US because of a despotic leader, what makes you(Israel) think they'll continue to support you? You're a MUCH smaller player on the international stage than the fucking US.

    You done fucked yourselves.

  • So?

    Different people have different breaking points.

    Are you really going to be a fucking hipster about people coming around to Gaza and talk down because they supported an oppressed people later than you did?

    Fucks sake dude.

  • Honestly this gets me the most. You have people talking shit like this when they couldn't even be bothered to vote against the Nazi.

  • Interesting parallel! I'm not super versed on the middle ages/medieval history. I love the concept of learning more about it but for me finding the time to properly do so just isn't there.

    I also miss like... college style lectures on those kind of topics. I should just squat some history classes at the universities by me.

  • Sure, pointing at streets. Your normal not super cheap FPV has a range of like a mile. Even adjacent to an urban center you could find places to launch a drone and send it to do evil shit and not be spotted.

  • You wouldn't even need something that big, man.

    I was in college during GWOT and part of the political science club. We had a 'games theory' session with the DHS rep in our state, where part of the class was reps for the government and part were a terrorist cell.

    I was part of the latter, and our goal was 'disrupt the state' and half the people wanted a big 9-11 attack to happen. My suggestion was small teams and car bombs over the course of 3 days along the major highways in the state and intra city traffic would grind to a halt. That was what kept him up at night.

    The same thing could be done at an even more effective scale with FPVs hypothetically.

  • I think that's a bit far fetched. You don't need to have something fly from Tripoli to hit the US, just send operatives here, and have them launch the attacks from the US. You could be a mile away and never get caught, hypothetically speaking.

    I still think US doctrine from GW1 applies, simply because drone use is already being implemented into the current chain of command. I have a few friends that are on the RnD side of things and the non classified drone stuff they've talked about to me is exceptionally impressive, and augments current doctrine rather than upending it.

  • What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?

  • Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where's literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the 'trial' period.

    It's Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.

    I wish they didn't absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.

  • Current US doctrine relies on controlling the skies. Still right now there's no credible threat to US air dominance. If the US has air dominance, drones in their current form are a bug attacking a tractor. Look up videos on how the US air campaign worked during Gulf War 1 and see the sheer number of assets that were on station for months waiting for the order to attack. Any enemy would be utterly exhausted by the time any attack started and the force and speed of violence would keep drones down to local threats.

    That's also not counting any drone countermeasures the US currently has and could mass deploy.

    I think the US use of expensive drones is just different to what we're seeing in Ukraine. They're fitting into a different space than FPV drones, which isn't bad, it's just different.

  • This isn't true. Tanks role in doctrine has changed. How the US would fight with drones on the field is completely different than how Ukraine or Russia are fighting.

  • Honestly, I've had this conversation with a lot of people!

    I think tough love is the answer. People respect an actual honest gut punch.

    Tough love with motivation to be better. That's what I would do. People want to look for something, to hope for something. They want to be part of a 'thing' that gives them meaning and a reason to get out of bed in the morning. For a lot of people that is what MAGA is. It's a brilliant bit of propaganda from a political science perspective.

    The thing that the people behind maga forget is that positive always beats negative for people. If the democrats came out with a 'elbows up' campaign to drive engagement, inform voters, and have an Obama 08 style organization behind it. Dems would sweep elections left right and center across the country.

    The issue, is the democrats shunned technology after that 08 Obama win. Obama built up a massive online apparatus to win the election then the party tossed it aside. The republicans embraced the digital age and have moved their propaganda networks online, and the democrats did nothing to counter it.

    There are some things that give the Rs and advantage such as gish gallop and stuff like that, but again, tough love 'everything that man said is bullshit, your honor' type discourse wins out. They just don't want to get their hands dirty, and they don't want to fund people that do for some reason.

    In short, you don't need to convince people to follow a billion different decrees. You give them a simple branding (Hope from 08. Where do you think all the MAGA merch idea came from? Those Hope shirts), direction, and figureheads.

    Branding is easy, for me I'd pick something like Together. Direction? Focus on things people agree on and build out policy from those tentpoles. 'Family? We all love family. Here's how we're helping YOUR family with X policies.' Figureheads. Dems have TONS of super qualified women that are killing it. We need some fucking white bread dudes like Walz as well to be pushing these things (there are a few they just need more media around them).

    From a dev standpoint, if it were me I'd create an app to push these things, make it social for people, and then gamify engagement by making it a 'game' to be informed of what's happening in your area and in the country at large. Getting people informed is not hard and doesn't take a lot of time, it requires newer styles of outreach that haven't been done before. At least in my mind!

    Thanks for the conversation on this btw, It's refreshing! <3
