  • There's 120 guns per 100 people in the US, a huge veteran population with combat training, most of them armed, multiple armed paramilitaries, militia groups, and a large number of people with military-grade munitions and equipment all over the nation. As the old quote goes, "behind every blade of grass, a gun". It only takes about 3.5%. And there's only a few million people in the government, and 300 million disgruntled individuals, many of whom know the exact tactics, exact procedures, cryptographic codes, techniques and practices of infantry, marines, special forces, SWAT, police, the DHS and ICE. Not to mention, disgruntled active-duty servicemembers on the inside - the "insider threat" they keep lecturing us about.

  • If any enlisted person or even junior officer did this, straight to Leavenworth, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Who wants to bet they'll accuse the journalist of treason and then deny that SecDef leaked anything?

  • The tree of liberty must at times be watered with the blood of patriots. What is the Second Amendment for, if not for moments such as this? "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

  • Welcome! Do keep in mind that different communities and instances all have their own rules, and some will be just as petty as Reddit mods, but that's why Lemmy is great - you can always spin up your own instance, with your own communities and make whatever rules you want, or find an identical community on a different instance. If you spin up your own instance, your account also can't get suspended, only banned from specific instances or communities, because Lemmy is decentralized like that. If you don't like the rules of one instance, look around for another - there's plenty enough that I'm sure you'll find your niche. Welcome again!
