I focus on what tasks I have to get done today and do them. Then I doomscroll.

Can you translate into grandma for me?

Ok, that’s kinda what I thought.

Can someone please explain this in non-techie talk?

There’s food? Must be a nice studio.

Jesus christ that’s a horrifying gaping maw that santa has!

I hope you’re right. I suspect you’re wrong.

I’ll believe that when I see it. But the only way to see it is for shit to go south in the first place.

Who did every active duty and veteran you know vote for, again?

The US Military would get chewed up and spit out by Armed American Civilians.

You forget who those Armed American Civilians virtually ALL voted for.

Although originally state entities, the Constitutional “Militia of the Several States” were not entirely independent because they could be federalized. According to Article I, Section 8; Clause 15, the United States Congress is given the power to pass laws for “calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.” Congress is also empowered to come up with the guidelines “for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress” (clause 16). The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the state militias “when called into the actual Service of the United States.” (Article II, Section 2).

The traditional state militias were redefined and recreated as the “organized militia”—the National Guard, via the Militia Act of 1903. They were now subject to an increasing amount of federal control, including having arms and accoutrements supplied by the central government, federal funding, and numerous closer ties to the Regular Army.

Not really. The military is controlled by the federal government. The state governments exist only to decide “small” local matters. And don’t have their own armed forces.

I honestly fear that our military will do something like this. There are a LOT of chuds in the military.

Why did the communists side with the fascists, in your opinion?

Because you are actually the one deflecting blame.

Why did the communists side with the fascists against the liberals?

You can never destroy the Viking spirit!

I don’t understand… is that just lemmy but not built by tankies?

Again, the Communists could have chosen NOT to side with the Fascists, but they did anyway.

Yes, but the communists STILL sided with the fascists against the socialists/socdems.

The communists literally sided with the fascists to also prevent any kind of socialist/social-democratic/“liberal” reform in the country.
