  • They know it's not true. We've reached the point that they are trying to directly intimidate the public with violence to accept state narratives.

    Also

    was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others,”

    Is that how it works? I figured the court would need to prove he was a danger. You know, according to the fourth fucking amendment. But I'm not a lawyer, silly me.

  • Yeah, his convictions rang true, but he ultimately failed to accomplish what he set out to do.

    If you got 20 guys with AR-15s together and tried to raid, like, the Glock factory in Smyrna, GA, you wouldn't meet much resistance either. It's not like there's a military garrison there. But you'd be fucked when you got surrounded by the local police, the county sheriff's department, the state police, county SWAT, state SWAT, the FBI, the ATF, and on and on. Which is basically the equivalent of what happened.

  • The program has definitely had issues but the F-35 is a very effective aircraft, nothing on the "market" as it were even comes close. There's a reason they're selling well internationally despite their cost. (at least, they were selling well)

    It's worth mentioning that a lot of the negative rhetoric surrounding the F-35 originated from Pierre Sprey, who was a fucking idiot with a chip on his shoulder at best or a Russian asset at worst.

  • The gambit is that if you declare border land a "military installation", that means troops can patrol that land and arrest migrants as "trespassers on a military base" without having to declare martial law or any of that messy "posse comitatus" stuff. Of course captives are handed off to ICE immediately and who knows what happens from there.

  • No, but a key tenet is the belief that Jews have a "higher purpose" in life than gentiles, and unfortunately this manifests as ethno-religious supremacy in the more conservative circles. A lot of the rhetoric surrounding Gaza is that Jews have a biblical right to the land over...the people that actually live there.

  • Does feel like the subtext is that autistic people are inherently broken and need to be fixed. Though I wish I could pin down exactly what problem they have with autistic people. A perceived lack of masculine confidence? (I guarantee they don't think about autistic women at all)

    I guess they just see them as easy targets.

    Also, consider not publicly referring to yourself as autistic and learning to mask if you haven't already.

  • Buying superfluous tanks is most likely to keep the production line open. If we stopped ordering them, it would have to be shut down. The people who worked the line would fuck off to find other jobs. The expertise would be lost. It would take years to restart the line from here, which is not a good strategic position if shit kicks off and we needed hundreds of vehicles yesterday.

    Same reason we subsidise the shit out of agriculture and "paying people to not grow stuff" as that one line goes. Food is a critical resource from both a military and civilian perspective and it's in our long-term interest that the industry remains solvent no matter what.
