Why would that be better? I’m interested to hear how you think that would be more effective and within her “power”.

Contextually, almost no one on this site assumes sarcasm first.

Ahh dang! So close. I guessed 16th century.

I guess it’s enough boats to make a floating villa? There’s something in there that I’m sure a 16th century language historian could figure out.

Oh boy! I’m prepared before reading the comments this time around!

Ok. That makes more sense. Thank you for expounding.

Yeah, I absolutely agree with the portrayal of anything political to be overblown. I visited Portland for the first time a few months ago to see an old friends and expierience what the city was like with my own eyes.

Ofc, there hasn’t been any tanks or marching en mass in DC, but they so have weapons and I did see a Humvee or two in my search. Idk who thinks of it as a North Korea style regime.

Trump is not all powerful, but seems to dodge every consequence to his actions and has encouaged setting up concentrations camps while also deporting actual citizens. I don’t know whether I consider him more Fascist or just the dictator for the Money Oligarchy, but you are correct that resistance does work against the policies/plans where in full fascism it wouldn’t. It’s a shame that definitions are so free-form now by intent and sabotage.

And as to random protest images, here is one of my very favorites in solidarity.

Ok. Sure. If current veterans get easier access to healthcare and so does everyone else I’m all for it. The VA is half-broken right now anyway. I just don’t want people reliant on help to suffer, even if I disagree with them.

They are not for civilian hunters

Ohhh, sorry OP. I think M4s are specifically designed for civilian hunters. They seem very useful when hunting them.

(Jokes are my coping mechanism 💜)

Three questions: What? Why? Aren’t you in the UK instance?

Bruh. You’re mad. Like, really mad. Makes me think you aren’t thinking clearly. Even if it’s “just a photo op” there are livestreams and plenty of photos of National Guard troops in DC. I found some from 2 days ago, and 2 weeks ago with a quick search.

Yes, this is also a distraction like most everything else has been. No, the sensationalist news media is not fully trustworthy. Yes, there are armed National Guard troops in Washington DC. No, having some people say they haven’t seen guards does not disprove their existence.

My question to you is, what makes you deny their existance so hard? Do you honestly believe publicity stunts don’t have an impact even as just stunts?

That’s fair. Nihlism and accelerationists are very irritating in a scientific setting. But I would also say Lemmy is not likely to only have logic and reasoning behind most comments.

The frog in the water pot and the bystander effect are closely linked, methinks.

I will never forget their Coca-Cola fudge cake.

Why? Because they decided not to rebrand? Sounds like you just want an excuse not to go there. You don’t need one.

Close enough I suppose. I think of them as Decree Enforcement. Nothing lawful about how they act.
