I gotta be honest, all the fucking bureaucrats who just give into whatever the DOGE fascists want should be treated like collaborators in their crimes. If someone is like "this could lead to a nuclear armageddon but I gotta protect my job" they deserve to be lined up on a wall just as much as the person they're folding to.

Even the US armed forces for all their evil have a culture of refusing illegal orders. The fact that the bureaucracy doesn’t have the same concept is so irresponsible.

Well... I dunno about that

When's the last time someone refused an order and wasn't forced out or otherwise punished?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago

It happens. Mostly to protect classified information or to enforce procedure as far as I understand. It’s not about enforcing morality. Just legality.

Agreed

They should kick these little nerds asses then throw them out the door
