    That’s a wild and sensationalized statement. I know that there are enough good people to prevent trump from killing tons of civilians. Most people I know in government right now are keeping their heads down and counting the days until the mid terms. Most of the people in the military, even on the right, roll their eyes at a lot of Trump’s rhetoric. The sycophant politicians are the only ones that really grovel, and while they can pass laws, and definitely fuck the government up, they don’t give the order to pull the trigger.

    In Nazi Germany they had a tight hold on propoganda, we have the internet, it’s really hard to do that now.

    In the 70s there was domestic terrorism and bombings all the time and there wasn’t mass civilian casualties.

    Is the insane rhetoric turned up right now? Absolutely, but there are many steps between where we are and mass civilian death by the hands of the govt.

    Also, please don’t put me in any camp of trusting Trump, that’s rude.

    insurgency can do a lot, especially if the “developed” nation doesn’t want to level the place because it’s either their place too or will result in many civilian casualties.

    A large part of the US special forces mission is training locals in insurgent/gorilla tactics. Most of the swiss defense posture is training their general population to just be familiar enough with weapons and tactics to wreck havoc on invaders, their standing army and armaments are really small.

  • Hating daylight savings isn’t weird, it’s dumb and everyone knows it’s dumb.

    Timezones are arbitrary lines on the map that were made when trains were new and there was no good way to coordinate otherwise. We are way past that, everyone has an automatically synced and precise way of telling time on them pretty much at all times. The “time” is an arbitrary number. Noon is not when the sun is highest in the sky most of the year unless you live near the equator, midnight is rarely “the middle of the night”, 9 to 5 should be deleted, and have one universal time would be one step closer to uniting human kind.

    Timezones are fucking dumb, it’s not the 1800s. I’ll fight to the death over this.
