  • That's a calculation each of us has to make personally. If you are white, a citizen, have people that rely on you, and are wealthy enough that they can fight a legal battle for you, maybe don't resist and hope for the best. If you are none of those, and you think you might get sent to a concentration camp or Africa, maybe defend yourself as best you can.

    Good luck to everyone.

  • There is a right answer, it's the totato.

  • They teach them to be paranoid and shoot first and ask questions later.

  • Part of the benefit of electing Democrats is that they can be embarrassed.

  • One of these parties is easier to fight and does less damage when given power.

  • This would make sense if they didn't vote for the people promising to fuck it up worse. (US politics only, I don't know how generational breakdown goes in other countries)

  • Clearly the German Communists were to blame for the holocaust because they failed to stop Hitler and the Nazis.

    That's what you sound like.

  • They could withhold taxes on state employees. That would be easy. If they wanted to go full second civil war, They could pass laws making it illegal for companies to pay taxes to the federal government.

  • If they are smart, they will still hold the elections just refuse to seat reps from 5-6 blue states. That would keep them in power for another 2 years.

  • The UK and France combined would have a problem if there was a single carrier parked in the North Atlantic. They might have a chance if all the US Carriers and subs were 2000 miles away.

    There is nothing anyone except the US can do about a US annexation of Greenland, short of Nuclear weapons.

  • Reporters are disporoportionaly from wealthy families. Poor people are less able to work unpaid internships for 3-4 years to get their foot in the door. They aren't the wealthy members of their families but they usually from well off backgrounds.

    There are exceptions but most of them have some class bias.

  • If the USA is the attacker, article 5 is meaningless. 80% of Nato that can reach Greenland is the American Military. The rest can't sustain an operation for more than a couple weeks without US logistics.

    If the US goes palpatine, the rest of Nato are sitting ducks. They would need years to gear up to sustain operations beyond their own borders.

  • World leaders are doing things. Europe has committed large sums of money to building out their defense industries, China has been building out it's military capabilities for decades, Canada has used tarrifs to strategically punish the US for it's tarrifs on Canadian goods and joined the European defense partnership, presumably to gain access to the aforementioned defense industry build out in Europe. Japan is increasing it's military spending and moving to amend it's constitution to remove the restrictions on military force.

    Sanctions against the US like those on Iran are possible, but for a country as large and wealthy as the US with such a diversified economy, even if the entire world sanctioned the US it would plunge them into desperate poverty.

    It would wreck the US economy, no doubt, but most world leaders are not willing to even suggest their people should endure that level of hardship over Nicolas Maduro. And the US would still have most of the world ability to project military power, so driving us into a corner like that would be incredibly dangerous.

    Make no mistake, every world leader and especially every head of state in Latin America is considering the chance that delta Force could pull them out of bed at 3 AM, I imagine Sheinbaum in Mexico, Lula in Brazil, have a few new grey hairs and especially Cubas head of state is sweating bullets. They don't have the power to prevent it.

    I am personally reviewing my options for how to protest this action.

  • Yeah, Israel was able to launch a shit ton of Missiles into Iran, and some of the Iranian Missiles hit Israel, even through the Iron dome, the tightest missile defense system in the world.

  • This is the real reason. They want us confined to basements, closets, or graves.

  • Banning contrails would actually have an impact on climate change.

  • I came out at the right age for me. It would be nice to have the benefits of transitioning earlier, but it was not realistic. It wasn't my time.

  • The article says you can set boundaries, withdraw from painful conversations, and protect your peace. If you care about them, the tethers, even thin and fragile strands of connection, can be vital in their finding their way out of the cult. This year especially, a whole lot of people are figuring out that they helped put a pedofile baby murderer into the White House.

    Most won't believe it, but some will reconnect with cut off friends and family.

  • You can't change minds over Christmas. You plant seeds of doubt, and then the Epstein files get released and the doubt sprouts. You never know what breaks the camels. Back.
