I don't think I'm the confused one here, to be honest with you, as shown by the other answers and upvotes in this thread. You do not have to specify non-US news to know that we're a rogue state - plenty of US media reports on it all the same. The question is clearly asking if Americans are aware that they're now a rogue state, and I answered appropriately.

It seems like maybe you don't want that to be the case, but my answer still stands: Yes, many Americans, especially in the PNW, are very aware of that fact. Americans in red states [the ones who watch Fox news especially] have their heads in the sand. You do not need to consume any media at all to be aware of that fact, it helps, but you don't require it to acknowledge it.

I fully understand and acknowledge that we're seen as a rogue state externally, and am painfully aware, as is much of the PNW. It's the red states that think "we're the best country in the world, and in fact, the only one that matters", which is exactly what my first comment was describing. People in blue states are rightfully embarrassed and are trying to distance themselves from the federal government for precisely this reason.

I don't think I agree, and many in the thread didn't get that idea. People outside of the US are obviously aware, the title is clearly asking if people inside of the United States are aware. Why would someone outside of the US have to ask if people outside of the US are aware? It makes no sense.

also (emphasis mine):

people in the US aware that they are a rogue state

It makes no grammatical sense if they're asking about opinions outside of the US.

Most of all, the US is fucked.

Huh?

Are people in the US

Sure, but I didn't mean to say that FOSS couldn't be insecure. Software itself can obviously be insecure, like we saw with xz. At least with FOSS though, it's more difficult for it to be hidden.

Apologies, I deleted my comment instead of editing it, but I meant to add that even with the shady workaround, if you have sandboxing it likely greatly reduces this risk.

Be very wary of what apps you install, and in fact, try to only use FOSS.

Yes, it would. Those basically create sandboxes.

So the first line says that it's for older versions of android before 2022. But the next paragraph says:

For extremely specific use cases such as file managers, browsers or antivirus apps, Google grants an exception by allowing QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, which provides full visibility into installed apps.

So this may still be possible, however sandboxing, especially GrapheneOS' implementation likely mostly, if not entirely reduce this risk.

Nullify.

Thanks. I actually have advance bait stations, however it should be noted that this won't really work for active infestations because they already have food from your home.

Thanks for proving my point!

No assumptions here, in a now removed thread they literally told me that women being oppressed was "natural selection", no joke. Look at their mod log if you want to double check, it's rough. They definitely could be rage baiting, but the fact that they posted this after getting absolutely dumped on definitely looks like they're looking for a safe space.

leftism is when women have rights, according to OP

you were the incel making misogynistic posts earlier, right? do you define people as leftists when they acknowledge that women are their own human beings that have been oppressed by men for millennia? if so, you'd fit right in over at truth social, where even women hate other women (they even hate your mom for existing!)

Humans can change what you're calling "natural", we have intelligence. Well, most of us anyway.

Not to encourage this as I am not a lawyer, but mags purchased before the bill was enacted are grandfathered in, meaning that you can still own them, you just can't buy them. So, if you own any already, you're likely fine as far as I can tell. I know that some people just go to Idaho to buy them and then they bring them back. Definitely illegal, but mags aren't tracked in any shape or form so they do it.

The semi automatic rifles themselves, as long as they were registered before the bill passed, were also grandfathered in. I'm not sure if out of state purchases count in that or not, though.

I don't believe there's any sort of official "militia", but the SRA is very active in the region and may qualify as one.

Yes, correct. Both the current and past have been mostly misogynistic and male-dominated. Congratulations on your discovery!

I do, about my self hosting shenanigans. But I haven't made a post to it in over a year, and either way I don't tie it into any of my other social platforms, preferring to stay as anonymous as possible.

It largely depends on the location. For example, in the PNW, especially Western Washington and Oregon, people are very aware of that fact. Many around here are arming, protesting, and becoming more and more self sufficient.

For their part, the Washington State government has sued the Trump administration multiple times, and for now, has blocked some of the executive orders in federal court. Of course, that depends on Trump following court orders, which as we know, he's more than willing to ignore.

Meanwhile in states like Utah (where some of my family lives), they still have their heads in the sand, and don't seem to be bothered. Not to generalize, because some people there are aware, but they're outnumbered by the ignorant public there. Many people there who are aware are either trapped due to financial reasons or are actively trying to leave for blue states.

I have seen that some GOP voters are starting to feel the financial burn, but most of them still try to blame it on Biden.

as someone unfortunately in the US, hell yeah, fuck us up, we deserve it
