  • At what point to left-leaning states governors start building up their own militias?

    I'm asking this as a Canadian, I honestly don't know what the process is vis a vis state militia vs federal military.

    Up until recently I felt like at a certain point, there were lines that the military would not cross regarding Trump orders. But now I'm kind of terrified that they really haven't pushed back at all, meaning if it comes down to it, it's all going to up to the individual states.

  • I might end up doing that. The reason I didn't do it immediately was because as cool as that would be, I'm relatively sure some AI slop would crawl into the responses and end up shared (which would make me sad) versus just giving the idea (and credit) to a single human.

  • I vote we put the United States on a time out.

    Every night, we turn off their power for half an hour until they smarten up. And increase the time if they continue to act like toddlers.

    And I want Trudeau to announce it exactly like that. "We are putting you under a time out every night because if you're president wants to act like an unruly toddler, he'll be treated like one."

  • Quite literally impossible to implement. Same as true "Libertarianism". Can't actually exist.

    Look at it this way. You and your neighbours want no government. No taxes. No laws. No "authority" telling you what to do and how to do it. Great!

    What happens when the road needs to be fixed? Do you fix just the road in front of your house? Or do you negotiate with your neighbours for you all to pay a fair share to get the entire road done? Congratulations...you just invented government.

    So now the road is getting done, but the people doing the work really don't want to deal with every individual for every particular decision. It's a much better idea to elect one person to do the communicating. Congratulations...you just invented civics and beaurocracy

    This person that you all agreed to handle all of this stuff doesn't have time anymore to support himself or his family because he's dealing with your shit, so he demands that each of you pay an amount to keep in able to feed himself while he administrates your "anarchic society." Congratulations...you just invented taxes

    Replace "roads" with literally anything else in a community and the end result is the same. Both Libertarians and Anarchists are fucking morons.
