Stop I'm having. A hard enough time sleeping

Are you telling me that the Muskenjugend would not be the best CIS white men for any job?

That using only people formated to the exact same specs would not bring you the best and brightest, but extremely replaceable yes-men?

Well I never.

Anyways, how's Rostec doing these days?

It's mildly comforting to remember that fascists are all about aesthetics and have no other capacity for power analysis. They're still super dangerous, but it's good to know that they have a fatal flaw.

BUT I THOUGJT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HIRE PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR QUALIFICATIONS NOT THEIR SKIN COLOR ARE YOU TELLING ME TRUMP LIED? 😭

These recruiters are about to learn that a lot of these guys would join, but they're afraid of what they might do to their drill instructor the first time they get yelled at.

dreadlichking.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh thank god they're gonna send the gravy seals to get their legs blown off instead. /s

skullbeard.bsky.social•16 days ago

I can't think of a better, more sustainable, source of cannon fodder.

I don't want to think about what they have planned for it though

dreadlichking.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yeah whatever they have planned is going to be fucked up.

mtoddcampbell.bsky.social•15 days ago

Give us more books to read!

raybanpixie.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yes! yes! yes!

enots406.bsky.social•16 days ago

Jesus Christ that’s bleak. I also don’t think NRA people are really “enlist to serve your country” people.

gyrozeppili.bsky.social•15 days ago

Theyre exactly the kind of people to serve in a white nationalist service.

Isn't one formula for a successful authoritarian military an apolitical professional military and a larger, trained militia?

blenderheadill.bsky.social•16 days ago

Once again, "meritocracy" turns out to mean mediocre white guys

dangrously.bsky.social•16 days ago

Mediocracy?

docparadox.bsky.social•15 days ago

"Less likely" is doing a lot of work in that report. Who's the better candidate, a black dude with proven skills and knowledge in an army relying on an array of advanced technologies, or the white dude who brings shuriken to his security guard job?

userprotagonist.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not on audible, is dictator’s handbook an ok substitute?

dangrously.bsky.social•16 days ago

The US government is getting idiocracied faster than at any other point in history.

Perhaps it was an error to elect Trump, a member of the WWE hall of fame, instead of Jesse Ventura.

iwriteok.bsky.social•16 days ago

Jesse "the mind" Ventura would've been an upper 1/3rd president for sure

sraars.comrades.social•16 days ago

We’d know about UFOs and JFK. That is for damn sure.

Oof bad call, nra guys just want to shoot AT people, they’re scared to death of being shot AT.

Part of the WMFU (White Men Failing Upward) program.

How lovely. Iraq will be our level of competence.

sidroc.bsky.social•16 days ago

We need an amendment that will make nationalization or all assest for those who participate or fail to stop insurrection, or willfully lie to the nation to enrich themselves and gut government agencies. Nationalization elons assets.

montypla.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's a very weird feeling because like
Yeah the military should stop preying on vulnerable folks, especially POC
but not like this

mxhrad.bsky.social•15 days ago

The military is now a terrorist factory.

mjeffreson.bsky.social•15 days ago

It will be in 4 years. It's about to be a source of a million or so very angry and very capable people who have every reason to hate the current government.

mjeffreson.bsky.social•15 days ago

*because that government is explicitly on a revaunchist racism bender and those million people are all non-white.

mxhrad.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, it’s been a quarter terrorist factory already. I expect them to fully give in within the year.

Two decades of constant Fox News at every military base and far right evangelicals punishing people who don’t follow their rules has already taken its toll.

ali-wtf.bsky.social•16 days ago

Read the overview. FUCK!

persianx6.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wow, look at that investment in the great American tradition of racism!

dynamitefuzz.bsky.social•15 days ago

The Gravy Seals will be real!

dynamitefuzz.bsky.social•15 days ago

The newest elite unit of the armed forces!

dynamitefuzz.bsky.social•15 days ago

Coming for a “Libtard” near you.

ndrichter.bsky.social•15 days ago

Coming to an army near you, 45 year old racists with bad backs and camouflage suspenders that 'would have joined the marines, but then they would have been drummed out for beating up the drill sergeant for cussing my momma'.
