He’s exhausted, his job is basically begging foreigners for money and weapons, and his family has been in hiding the whole war.

Hard to say he’s running the war badly considering that Ukraine still exists 3 years later when most outside observers were wondering if Ukraine would last 3 days.

I mean, there was tons of “we’re invading American Cities and Fighting the Enemy within” bullshit too.

I’m guessing IRL Jesus would have started rage flipping tables and whipping people with his belt.

Small town in Oklahoma…they’re probably blaming their misfortune on the people that sued.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it’s talent in the last several years. There’s almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

Honestly, most German generals didn’t get purged, they mostly went along with the regime and they were considered reasonably competent during the war. The Soviets on the other hand had a big purge of their senior officers just before WW2 and the war went much worse for them in the beginning than it would have otherwise.

Venezuela is a good modern example of loyalty over competence and it’s the analogy I’ve been warning people about since the last year of Trumps first term. Firing the disloyal and promoting the loyal fucked over their entire government and economy.

Damn, that was an incredible amount of boot you just licked. Trump and Hegseth are going after people for Political Disloyalty. But to answer part of your bad faith question, Americans remain Americans regardless of being in gangs or being black. And terrorists/talibans/cartels are NOT the people they’ve been brutalizing with the new Gestapo.

Dude was never an intellectual powerhouse but even before the election is was painfully obvious he was getting worse.

Well, what are your recommendations then?

Well, what do you use then. Give us your recommendations

It can be a starting point since often it’s just copy and pasted from a website. Grab a few keywords and go.

Not entirely true. Huge numbers of leftists own guns, it’s mostly liberals/centrist that drank the gun prohibition koolaid. Look what it’s got them? Cause it’ll never happen here, remember? Oh, whoops. I see people realizing their mistake most quickly with black people; black panthers and other community defense groups in black neighborhoods have been making a come back. Pray more people get on the band wagon. And if you can’t legally own guns, there are alternatives. Crossbows, compound bows, muzzle loaders. Being armed in some way is the best way to keep your communities safe from outside violence.

If things get worse slowly, people will continue to make excuses for why they can’t. If things get worse quickly, the odds of a general strike increase as people get more desperate.

That’s why there’s been a movement for years to end Qualified Immunity and force Police to carry their own insurance like Doctors do. As long as Police face no serious consequences for breaking the Law, they’ll continue to be vicious thugs.

and/or they want field data from the real world conditions they’re being used in.

the big secret is that Democrats and Republicans are both on the political right and the mainstream media is owned by billionaires.

I mean, more than half. Almost everyone on the Left thinks Democrats share blame with Republicans even if Republicans are MORE to blame.

Technically the Freikorps would be more akin to groups like the Proudboys or Oathkeeprs. The analogy for ICE/Homeland Security agents/Federalized National Guard would be Gestapo.
