I’m on board for this. Where do we sign them up?

Selective Service, actually.

Have you seen how the military votes? They already signed up.

Facts, but there were also women and people of color that voted for Trump

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 weeks ago

Any minority that supports trump will regret it eventually. White men are the missing piece

We still need to have that conversation, specifically the influence of the massive propaganda machine that control nearly half the media-watching eyeballs (viewership).

We've seen our own relatives get radicalized, to no end that serves the public (or their social relationships). So what do we do to counter this wealth fueled monster?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ideally not elect Big Tech to power?

Ehh…

We've just shown in November that Americans can be made to elect a literal Hitler, knowing what he intends to do. And even though the Democrats made some mistakes, they did run a solid campaign. Their losses in the battleground states were by razor thin margins.

One factor is the giant far-right propaganda machine.

The other, as noted by the boring British economist guy (looking... Richard J. Murphy) is that too many people live in precarity for the status quo party (the neoliberal party in whatever country -- Democrats here in US, Labor in UK) to draw voters. Essentially, when you're going to starve under King Log, then King Heron starts looking good.

And we saw this in the elections near November 2024, far-right parties were advancing in the EU. They started going the other way after Trump and MAGA were in power in the US, mask-off and painting a ghastly picture of what a King Heron reign looks like.

The cure for the latter is to go way progressive (e.g. FDR's New Deal). In this case, go far more progressive than the likes of AOC or Bernie Sanders are offering (the rest of the Democratic party doesn't like them much).

But the cure for the former is unknown. Not known to me, anyway, and not discussed even on far left media (e.g. Breadtube) possibly because they don't have answers either. Mind control does work, even if it's not as beamy and instant as it is in sci-fi. And if we can't counter it, we'll have to discover through suffering and death why we don't use it. And that assumes we have time before one of the other imminent great filters proves unnavigable.

Some of them may die, and that isn't a sacrifice for me in any way.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago

The dead Iranians would be though. Maybe send them to Texas and just lie.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't want to harm the Iranian people, even if chuds die doing it

There’s always the chance of friendly fire and other mishaps during the chaos of war

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that's not gonna make up for the atrocities

There is going to be a rash of bone spurs this year.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 weeks ago

All we need to do is to take the template of the ICE deportation emails and then change it to be "Selective Service System" along with Trump's "Make America Great Again" images and email them to conservatives. Let's see how quickly they change their tune.

I reckon there's plenty of abhorrent MAGA women that are capable of fighting as well.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I expect the conservatives to fight a war, lose, then blame the women amonst themselves. Then the MAGAt women are gonna surprise pikachu face and be like: "'Alt-right' women are upset that 'alt-right' men are treating them terribly. Some prominent 'alt-right' women are calling for more equality and acceptance within the movement." 🤣

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Lol. That reads like it's an Onion article. The poor dears.

Women in the "alt-right" "are constantly harassed by low level anonymous trolls trying to put us in our place," self-described "Ethno Nationalist" Tara McCarthy wrote on Twitter Sunday, in a moment of revelation that was well-known to basically anyone else

Iran didn't pay Congress as much protection money as Israel does.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago

And while the military is too busy warring with Iran and whoever else that decides to back Iran, it makes for the perfect opportunity for the people to rise up against the government at home.

Do you know what the truest expression of conservative American values and bravery is?

Human wave attacks against machine gun nests.

Unfortunately, they want you to be young and full of promise. The greatest sacrifices are honored most. Fucking mental cases, if you asked me.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

US still has no business fighting Iran tho... It's on the other side of the world.

Do I need to point out that this is also the logic they used on liberals who were pressuring Biden into giving more weapons to Ukraine.

Double standards are never good.

I should also point out that most, if not all the people who were against supporting Ukraine in the war are also being consistent in being against this attack against Iran. So this is also a straw man.

Politics team sporting is so fucking tiresome at this point.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

What’s tiresome is rebuttals that are nothing more than appeals to hypocrisy that also conveniently ignore the correct insinuations this meme makes.

No. You did not need to point anything out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This wasn’t even a rebuttal. Just pointing out that whatever this is saying it is not a reflection of reality.

The move has been incredibly unpopular with his most loyal followers and you could argue he won the elections thanks to increased minority support. What insinuation is there here that isn’t completely incorrect?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This move has been incredibly unpopular with his most loyal followers

Any source for that? I'm very curious who is most loyal followers are and what they have to say about it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t consider this source honestly because it’s just an article only:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/22/iran-attack-maga-reaction-trump

For full proof visit conservative spaces and look at the discussion and you’ll see there’s not full support for this and most don’t support it. I find that more compelling evidence than articles.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

God more of this. Ukraine and Russia wasn't started by Biden. This Iran strike was a deliberate choice by Trump deploying US troops in a US operation. If Iran retaliates against the US because this was a US operation then that's Trump who started the war.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I should also point out that most, if not all the people who were against supporting Ukraine in the war are also being consistent in being against this attack against Iran.

I entirely doubt this is the case. Trump suckers love Russia and Israel because Trump does, so they would be against supporting Ukraine and for attacking Iran.

Hopefully their mobility scooters are four-wheel drive. And forget solar power, charging, let them hump gas cans for Generators.

I'm not human anyway!

Go get em! Patriots!!!!

Send me a dried out arm or leg or something to remember you by!

I remember when my friends came back from Iraq in the 00s and told me about their co-marines ripping veins out of living people and purposefully blowing up homes with civilians! And they got rewarded and respect!!!

5 eyes. World order. World Mafia. Legal Modern Mafias.

I know people that work real crime and it's the exact same game. Life doesn't matter. I know how that game works.

It's all the game mainstream or street its all the same heartless dogs raping humanity.

Buy guns. Learn to be heartless, if you aren't playing by "the game" you aren't anything but a pawn. Wreck your local gang leader they same as you protest politicians. Wreck your local politician the same you should wreck the local human traffickers.

You will learn fast anyway if you have a strong soul.
