SCOTUS Justice Roberts flew an inverted flag at his residence in support of the Big Lie.
Wonder what his thoughts may be today....

I'll never understand people who rage against the machine who are part of the machine.

The multitude of marks that support a fascist regime get the emotion right and the facts wrong, making them useful idiots for the ideological fascists as they will fight to defend the fascist state with the same zeal with which they ought to oppose it. The environment of fear that fascism creates ends up fueling their hatred because the virtual reality that fascist propaganda maintains for them allows them to misattribute all their negative emotions to the enemies of the state.

Pretty sure that was Alito, but Roberts is also a piece of shit.

In about 10 years there will be a bunch of movies about how depressed soldiers got doing it.

He called you losers and suckers and you still enlisted. Not going to shed a salty tear for lives lost in the new middle eastern quagmire.

I'll never understand why someone could actually want to put effort into dividing the American populace from the America military right now

Like, even if you don't know about how many non US citizens are in the US military...

It's seems obvious that the better plan would be getting military on the side of the populace and not the fascists rather than driving the military towards the fascists.

I've been trying to figure out a reason for a while, because these posts aren't uncommon.

But I can't come up with a reason that wouldn't be against civility rules if I posted it.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The issue is congress really. They have the power to stop anything the President does. Sadly too many Republicans are loyal to Trump alone and not the regular people.

Only hope is a flip in the midterm and Trump gets neutered. We'll see.

Which is "kind of" the reason we should be getting the military on the side of the people and not chasing them into the arms of fascism because they have nowhere else to go...

Like, fucking obviously man...

What you're saying is the reason I said what I said in the first place.

Only hope

That is not the "only" hope, it's the most pain free "good" option. Saying because that option exists means we out all our eggs in that basket, is even dumber than literally putting all our eggs in one basket.

We can't just kick our heels up and hope this works, we work on this and the next 27 different plans that would sequentially be the least painfree while arriving at the "good" result.

I dunno, I'm just venting. It's fucking depressing that every comment is a choice between "too long no one will read" and "if you don't mention everything obvious, you'll have to later".

This meme made me feel empathetic to those in the military, not divided.

The Iraq war the way the Republicans (especially in the military) defended George W Bush and continued to support republicans after the as mind boggling.

Because you can never trust or rely on an ally who's on your side because you are being nice to them instead of because they have some kind of scruples.

It's no better than say, sucking up to someone with a peace award in the hopes they don't start a war.

That's the better plan, as long as they're willing to denounce American imperialism. If criticizing the imperialism they're cooperating with is enough to push them away, then they're less than worthless as an ally. Also some of us aren't American and don't care about the health of liberal democracy in your murderous neocolonial empire.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trump already gutted most of the senior leadership in the American military that wouldn't dance to his tune. Plus the American military already has a bunch of right leaning uneducated idiots that are more than willing to 'just follow orders'.

I wouldn't expect anything much out of them honestly. Like most things what Americans portray and what they do is pretty different. It's just a couple steps away from calling themselves the Democratic Republic of America.

The fascists are the ones who are sending the military personnel to face injury and death. How would this not drive the military away from the fascists?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is a certain mindset in the military that believes the military is being wasted if they aren't being actively used. Not everyone, but enough.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

Well, you can't fix stupid. And it's a fool's errand to try.

Deleted Reddit the moment they decided too not let me block entire subs off of my front page. Fuck Peter Thiel, Ycombinator. Fuck snoop, fuck u/spez and fuck any platform controlled by silicon valley going forward again. They can all eat a giant dick.
