So domestic terrorism?
Yes. That’s exactly what the article concluded.
Finally, the second amendment people are here to protect us! From radar!?
Looking forward to another Moore tornado, but with no warning sirens. When people die will the prosecutors have the nads to come after these dumbshits?
Bet we're gonna find out years later that this was the outcome of a successful foreign psyop to destroy US infrastructure. Kinda like how ppl were shooting at substation transformers a while back
I mean, is obvious now, and has been for quite a while that Russia has been pummeling us with psyops
I don't even think it's Russia anymore. It feels like it's worse... like the CIA or 5 eyes. It feels American made.
This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for decades now. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia turned their massive propaganda infrastructure outwards.
Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. I think this psyop is Made in AMERICA™
ETA: Actually, I have no clue what to believe. I'm just a Texan screaming at an echo chamber of stupidity. I forgot that just because we've become a self-drinking glass of idiocy doesn't mean that there could have been an external catalyst.
Yeah, you just got a throw your hands up and say yeah, I realize someone's pulling the strings, it's just that there's so many possible "someones" that I can't begin to imagine who it actually is. Which is also by design.
Social media can influence a lot of people into doing things that go against their own interests
People are increasingly living in their own version of reality that is utterly irreconcilable with that of everyone else. In these conditions, how can we come in agreement about anything?
Acceptance of chaos.
We can't. That's part of the plan. A balkanized populace can never get together and face the real threat.
lol ok, Oklahoma. Go for it. Have fun. Throw Molotovs at the radars that literally save your lives in tornado season. You’re only going to decrease your own population. And I’m genuinely past caring at this point.
No. My old mentor had to move back to his home state of Oklahoma due to money reasons recently. He's a boomer but so very anti-Trump.
He's been away for fifty years. He hates that Oklahoma is at the absolute bottom of education, but it's where he grew up. Not everyone there is bad.
I've been saying for a while how lucky we are that the bad guys are so self destructive. Anti-vaxers. Destroying natural disaster warning systems, the leader is an 80 year old idiot, etc. Etc. Imagine how much worse things would be if they were competent.
Problem is, vulnerable populations who dont willingly participate in their stupidity still have to live among them.
Strictly speaking they aren't our enemies. Mentally ill as fuck? Absolutely. But our enemy is the one that manipulates these people. Stirring up their mental illness and turning them on us. Believe me our enemy is watching comfortably as we injure ourselves. Republicans eagerly egging it on as it suits their own ends. And Democrats not really caring to do enough about it.
If they were more competent they wouldn't fall for that shit in the first place.
It'd be a real shame if these people were treated like the terrorists they actually are.
Right, it should just read "Domestic Terrorist group attacking infrastructure do to delusional beliefs."
Yep. Domestic militia is not a thing. Just call them terrorists.
Maybe a few people would wake up if we did.
To be clear, I believe domestic militias should be able to exist, but militias attacking infrastructure is what I am saying falls under domestic terrorism.
As someone noted elsewhere, that infrastructure is helping to protecting the population from Tornadoes and other severe weather.
For being so bathshit crazy, they landed pretty close to the reality that oil rigs and other fossil fuel equipment are actually doing a ton of things they blame on the weather radars that make their lives better.
Maybe we don't factor out subtly redirecting them that way. Don't even tell them they're wrong, just point to what's making the weather actually be screwy.
Maybe it's those 30ish gas turbines in TN that are polluting the city to power a racist LLM
You might just be on to something there.
That's not new. That's Bush era old at the youngest
