And what makes you think you know anything about people in the military?

Most people serving are young, undereducated, and in no position to challenge their higher command. You pretending that they are lawyers with guns is ridiculous, most of them are just kids who joined because they wanted an education or wanted to leave a dead end town.

So your argument is that the government won’t follow the law, but soldiers will?

Is your reading comprehension okay? My point is that there is no real separation between the military and government. The military is led by the executive branch which ultimately hands out orders. The legality of those orders is not determined by the military, it's determined by the judiciary branch. If the judiciary determines an order as legal, then the military has no choice but to execute the order.

Which means...... The court system, which have been captured by the heritage foundation determines the legality of military borders.

You don’t know many people in the military.

Lol, my dad retired as a chief. I spent the first 16 years of my life growing up on military bases.

You’re missing the part where the non-loyal German soldiers would face harsh consequences, including execution, for failing to follow orders.

I already addressed that..... American soldiers can also face harsh consequences for refusing "legal" orders. The legality of orders are determined by a military court which has a long history of being extremely biased toward protecting commanding officers.

Out of 4,100 National Guard members and 700 Marines dispatched to LA, there has been one detainment of a US citizen, and no arrests. Detainment is currently being debated as a possible violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-marines-carry-out-first-known-detention-civilian-los-angeles-video-shows-2025-06-13/

My entire point was that the rules that are supposed to protect the general population are often interpreted to serve those in power. Posse Comitatus is supposed to negate the use of military members from being used for policing on US soil.

Meaning that the definition of policing is being semantically interpreted as "arresting people" when in reality policing is defined as prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public order.

What other purpose can the military be utilized against the general public other than to maintain public order?

There are also many instances of the National Guard laying down their riot shields, and even taking a knee to support citizens in peaceful protest. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/06/02/tennessee-national-guard-troops-lay-down-riot-shields-at-protesters-request/

First of all, the national guard are not active duty military personnel and can and are utilized in state policing actions. Secondly, laying down shields is not disobeying a direct order. Lastly we have historic examples of national guard members committing massacares against non violent protestors.

The US has not signed the Rome Statute, and is therefore not beholden to the laws of the ICC unless in a nation that has signed said agreement.

My point was that international law a kin to those laid down by the Nuremberg trials do not protect us from fascist utilizing the military against us.

Your claim was that we were granted protections via the establishment of the Nuremberg principals.....the Nuremberg principals are now moderated by the ICC via the 1999 Rome statute.

You are just proving my point for me. Internal laws are subject to interpretation via those who currently hold power (fascist), and external laws are inventions of convenience that we do not and have never allowed to truly moderate our countries behavior. My original claim stands, that we are not really in a much different scenario than in Hitler's Germany.

Yep, my faith in any established political party has been worn thin since the bush era. Right now I'm just working on teaching my LGBT friends how to maintain and shoot a rifle and how to properly stock a go bag.

While I don't agree that medical providers shouldn't be involved in important healthcare decisions. Unfortunately, at this point I agree the American healthcare system has largely failed the trans community, among others.

I think medical providers should be doing their jobs and keeping their personal beliefs to themselves. If a patient is wanting to transition they should have access to a provider who can make that transition as easy and safe as possible.

will post the recipe below/above.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try! I'm not a die hard puritan like my mom, I'll basically eat/make anything as long as it's tasty.

Oh neat, Ive never made Baechu kimchi with anything other than napa cabbage. Do you use fish sauce or fermented krill, or just add a little additional salt?

Always neat to see people expanding on kimchi, I really only know what my mom taught me and she's what I'd call radically traditional when it comes to Korean food.

original comment I responded to was "let's not act like a gun control zealot is what the US "left" needs right now".

Yeah.....? And your response was so off point that even you decided it was worth deleting.

Right now, we don't have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant.

Lol, the person you were responding to was specifically calling out David Hoggs and the DNC dying on the hill of gun control.

This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.

Wut? We were specifically talking about David hogg what does mamdani have to do with our conversation? You might remember what you were talking about about if you didn't delete your own comment, fucking coward.

Unless they're airlifting it all out. In which case it still has to fly over terrain that's not to their advantage.

Why would they have to fly anything out of the valley? If the military is able to secure supply lines in war zones that have more than small arms resistance I don't think it's going to be a challenge to secure them in Cali.

we also make the missiles here.

Who's we? It's not like the entire country is going to support a rebellion, especially not anyone in the military industrial complex. Even if you have missiles, you don't have the weapons platforms or even know how to operate them.

The best option for them would be the port of oakland. Theres lots of shitty tech bros there, but you still see tributes to the best and best dressed mlm's to ever pick up a rifle, some of whom are, while far past fighting age, still kicking around a dense high tech city-and this would be for their food supply line, so it wouldn't exactly be possible to starve them out.

What are you talking about? Why would food have to go to Oakland? You don't ship food from California to the rest of the country on boats.... Nor are some old dudes with small arms going to be able to do anything to military convoy.

The farms are all staffed by people who hate them. Every single one, not just here but especially here. Even the small/mid sized farmers-and i have talked to them-hate this shit, or are literally beibg chased out of the fields, literally as i type this. The logistics lines are disproportionately worked by those same people.

Work gangs, prison labour, political prisoners, hungry people willing to capitulate to feed their families.....you know the same thing that has happened throughout history. Plus, there's plenty of conservative chuds in the valley.

It's not really based on facts, more of a matter of opinion. I agree that the democratic party needs to be shakin up, I just think it needs guidance from a more militant left winged voice to counteract just how far right the GOP has gotten.

Berlin would disagree with you.

What? Are you referring to Berlin prior to the Nazi takeover? There were leftist and fascist having all out battles in the streets of Berlin for over a decade prior to the takeover. Which eventually happened because the centerist of the weimar republic decided not to fight back.

Waco should be all the history you need to know about to know what actually happens in the scenario you're encouraging.

You mean the event that led the federal government to be afraid of policing radical right winged politics for decades? The event that is often quoted as responsible to the free spread of right winged nationalism across America.....leading to the election of an ultra conservative president we tolerate today?

You have no idea what you are talking about, everything you said was wrong.

You really should educate yourself before trying to tell others what to think. Try reading the death of democracy by Benjamin Hett. It goes over the parralelles between the fall of weimar republic and our current situation.
