  • The hierarchy means little if the common soldiers agree and band together. They’re the ones with the guns.

    Not the soldiers, their commanders. Soldiers won’t be able to coordinate much beyond the scope of their platoon, maybe across a company. A rogue force of company size does not a rebellion make.

    So unless a battalion command gets together and decides to rebel, it’ll be on too small of a scale to make anything but a tactical difference. And the soldiers knows this, and they know that they’ll be severely punished. I don’t know the Minnesota national guard laws and regulations, but I suspect that soldiers helping ICE kill Minnesotans, could be facing a firing squad or the gallows.

    So no, I wouldn’t be afraid of having the national guard protect Minnesotans under the command of Tim Waltz, who himself was a command sergeant major in the army national guard.

    What would be scary would be having the national guard federalised, something we’ve seen Trump do with the same enthusiasm as raping 12 year olds. And if army commanders goes against Trump, then there’d be a real civil war, when national guard units from the Dakotas, Iowa and Michigan are federalised.



  • When was that? Based on life events I’ve reconstructed this timeline of my hangout sites

    • late 1990s to mid 2000s was slahdot
    • around 2006ish digg came into my life and was great for a some years. At least for memes and generic dopamining on funny pictures. I think I hung around until about 2014 or so, while spicing it up with cracked.com
    • 2014ish 9GAG started having more of my type of content. After a few years 9GAG became just automated reposts of r/funny, and talking about that got you censored. Kinda like what reddit is doing now.
    • 2017ish I switched to reddit, when 9GAG just became too embarrassingly bad.
    • july 21st 2023 I started trying to figure out lemmy. BTW u/spez is a pedophile piss baby.

    Maybe I was just trailing behind you others. Was I the one to ruin your experience? Why would you accuse me of that you insensitive clod? Anyway, in that case I’ll go eat crayons in the corner and shitpost on .ml
