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.

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.

Where did they say anything about "overpopulation"?

Was, specifically for the primary, and then left.

Yes, we are truly fucked, and if you check our political history, have practically always been truly fucked, remain truly fucked, and continue to be truly fucked - as evidenced by our current administration and the last... All of them.

We had to fight a civil war to convince a solid half that slavery had to stop. And then kept doing it anyways, and still do it today. The whole empire sits on the graves of the original people, the survivors of whom still live in reservations we put on the shittiest possible land, and have for centuries now with no change regardless who's in power.

This is the USA. This has always been the USA, once you peeled off the Hollywood varnish.

That's why you do several magnets, to be sure, and discard the ones that are bullshit, if you're worried about that. Haven't had any problems myself, other than theater cam for the newest new movies.

Iraq and Afghanistan.

Can't have a trial if there's no law, can't have law if there's nobody left alive to enforce it.

I never said that. I said stop encouraging comrades to violate OPSEC. As in, stop posting openly about the activities that will get you arrested and keep that on encrypted channels.
