Back in my day, the military considered groups like gangsters and white supremacists joining up and then taking that training back to their fellows a bad thing.

MAGA thinks the military is MAGA, while the military is more conservative than the general population but most are actual conservatives

MAGA are conservatives. The distinction between a conservative and a fascist is one of degree, not kind, so the military will be radicalized and/or purged until they become MAGA if they aren't already.

MAGA isn’t conservatives, they’re mostly libertarians and populists. Every conservative in that camp has been pushed out of power.

MAGA aren't conservative at all

Then what are they? Note: The original conservatives were royalists.

There are many aspects of reality that MAGAts refuse to admit to themselves but understand on a subconscious level. That's why they're now making the military MAGA via leadership purges and actions like this.

Nowadays the military is the one hiring gangsters and extremists for leadership positions in the military.

Next time the us marines occupy my city will be much less scary but much more annoying.

I dunno. A bunch of brain dead wackadoos running around with automatic weapons sounds pretty scary

Yes but they'll be so terminally online next time, that they'll get distracted by their phones all the time.
I could impale one on a spike and its teammates would try to debate me.

Make sure to show everyone how trump grieved kirk's death. Starts at 2 minutes and what Kimmel was fired for. I guess he was messing with their plans.
Starts at about 2 minutes.

They can't even get people to join ice with a $50k signing bonus. Good luck.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 336d
go for it, recruit a bunch of those dweebs.
Hector@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 336d
I think naziing the armed forces is a mistake myself, not the least as they are planning on martial law declarations presided over by the military.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 336d
they've had a bad white nationalist for the last 12 years at least. probably longer that's just when i started paying attention to it.
the people they'll recruit are Poppin Neck's true believers. you know, the kind of folk who worked at turning point. so a bunch of dweeby mormons and evangelicals who are so stuck in their past they keep going back to college over and over to talk at the students to feel popular?

So they are finding the people who would be willing to kill non conservative Americans and then will give them the skills to do so...

More the tools.

Americans told me their military would never turn on civilians all the time. Well, reddit did to be clear when I still used it.
I guess they couldn't imagine the good guys all getting replaced first. So naive.
TallonMetroid@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 336d
That was always contingent on the brass not being treasonous shitbags. The rank-and-file were always a lost cause, because they run shit like FOXNews 24/7 in the public areas.
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 337d
Why? Did Kirk ever serve in the military?
bradorsomething@ttrpg.network · 2 pts · 336d
With the world tipping into a world war, I welcome our Charlie Kirk brigades to train now and to be ready to ship out when things start up.
