Never was, just this time the mask fell off.

We're not willing - huge portions of us aren't at the very least. My contract ends next year, but I'm ready to go to court-martial or worse if given an unlawful or unconstitutional order, as are all the rest of my division, at least, including the division Chief. And as someone in the direct chain for nuclear launch, we definitely are not launching on the Homeland - none of the officers will, none of the enlisted will, and you need us to each do our part for anything to launch at all, unlike in the movies.

Even still - the Vietcong successfully held out long enough for America's full might to be withdrawn. I'm not proposing anything for legal reasons. But getting involved with mutual aid and community building might be a bit more useful than you think.

I'm just telling it the way it is. I said nothing about supporting it, but facts don't care whether I support them or not.

It's not how it works because China can make the whole global economy a very, very bad day for Boeing very, very easily, being one of the three geopolitical superpowers, a nuclear armed nation, and the largest manufacturer on the planet. Kind of like how a small shop can't say "No receipt, no return. Sorry Mate." to, say, Vladimir Putin's face, and expect to still be breathing the next week.

Oh, okay, thanks for checking! And thank you so much for your hard work!

So, what are you doing? I'm seeing a lot of criticism and complaining, and not a lot of action from you either. Are you attending meetings of your local chapter of the SRA? Are you qualified in small arms and assault rifles? Do you engage in mutual aid and community organizing? Have you run for any local office or gone to town halls?

How would you install it in Firefox (or LibreWolf)?

If they were doing something about it, they would not be posting about it on social media or talking about it in the news. Unlike a certain SecDef, some people follow OPSEC. Ask your local SRA chapter about OPSEC training for more details. Oh, and volunteer.

I always tell people, the most realistic depiction of sailors is Down Periscope, and they never believe me lol

Currently active duty US Navy, enlisted, contract ends next year (if they let it end). I don't think upper brass understands the level of shenanigans we will get up to and they will never know about. Or the level we already get to on the regular, including on nuclear weapons platforms and carrier strike groups. The amount of gundecking right now is already "I can't believe this thing still floats" levels. I'd love to see what it looks like when every sailor's a disgruntled insider threat.

Time to bring back the age old tradition of fragging. Also sandbagging, blazing maintenance and logs, blazing quals, sleeping on post, making up inventories and malingering.

Are all Nazis bad people, or are there reasonable Nazis we should give the benefit of the doubt to?

Yeah, that's not how that works.

Listen shipmate, as an active-duty member of the US military, I'm not getting my door kicked in for saying that sort of thing on a public website. You definitely shouldn't be posting that out loud and in public for the FBI to find. Just as an FYI.

That would just be an endless game of whack-a-mole given just how many instances there are, and how easy it is to just set up another instance immediately.

Stop violating OPSEC and posting shit like that on an unencrypted and publicly accessible website. Did your local SRA chapter not teach you that?

Counterpoint: Luigi.

They did past tense. How about with a 140%+ tariff?

Were you out in the streets on the 5th? Perfect time to find your people as 5 million joined you. Have you looked up your local chapter of the SRA?
