No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I spent time having video calls with LEOs, intelligence agents and military folks over the course of the past 6-9 months. I saw how broken and disjointed and tribal power has become within the world of American authority.

I now know things about how the US government and military work that I feel the public should know.

I could write a book or make a YouTube video. But both of those are to inflexible and risky. I want to spill the beans in a much more permanent and effective way. I would like to help the public understand what is really going on behind the scenes, as best as I have seen.

Realism isn't condescension. I know every one of us daydreams about taking the system down, but fleeing the country and uprooting your life for something that doesn't get noticed isn't exactly a win other than getting out of the country. Without knowing exactly what the info is, it's more harmful to encourage someone to do something drastic and feed into the daydream.

How is it "realism" when all we have to go on is an intentionally vague post?

OP needs to go find a reliable journalist. If they have nothing then said journalist will have a laugh. and if OP is stupid about it they'll also be going to prison.

OP needs practical advice if they're serious about this. And they shouldn't be sharing any details here, this is not a secure enough platform to get away with that

And people also need to tempur their expectations. OP isn't taking down the administration, pretending they are is just blowing hot air up both your ass and theirs. It's a disservice to them and anybody actually trying to move the needle. At MOST it could be a juicy tell-all that won't get acted upon. Fleeing the country is quite excessive for that.

Edit: practical advice; touch grass and come back to reality. We can fix most of the problems but we need to do so realistically.
