Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I know it's useless to point this stuff out, but from 2008 to 2012, all we heard from these fuckers was posse comitatus every time Obummer stepped outside of the White House. They had their little protests where they armed up and marched through the streets to oppose invasion of their states. A milita joined up with beef farmers to take over and hold a federal park while threatening to escalate if the NG was sent in. Not to mention that years before, any mention of the NG, or any federal agents, operating on state/local land would be met with violent fervor. Even in carrying out the duty of law enforcement in pursuit of a criminal case (Ruby Ridge, Waco).

Like, no shit, the capitalist empire state is not self-consistent. It just sucks to watch it happen over the span of my life again and again.

Please, go visit Homan's Wikipedia page.

It's been an hour. State your point already.

How dare I do something else, for a bit. I'm not McDonald's.

Same Piper, different tune. We're at the precipice of the abyss. The leap will happen. Whether we sink or swim is up to us.

[–] KnownUnknownKnower@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Understood. Looking like sink, but we shall see

When was the last time China deployed the military against the civilian populace?

'The governing marxist dictatorship is so overwhelmingly evil they don't need to and rules out of fear alone.'

Understanding how nonsensical that point is should be a massive step towards radicalization. All governments that counter the will of the people have to use force against those people.

If you only see force against the wealthy, then that government is enacting the will of the workers. If you only see force against workers, that government is enacting the will of the wealthy.

HK and Anti-Lockdown protests only saw a police response iirc.

It probably doesn't need to be said here, but it should be hammered into every liberal's head around us that the Democratic officials that are trying to exculpate themselves in this article are the ones that have armed and trained the police and national guard that are cracking the skulls of people against ICE. Trump did not send the LAPD in on that first day. Hell the LAPD statement is saying "actually Mr. Trump, we would have made ICE's job easier if you hadn't slowed us down".

Just because they say a few token words against Trump does not make them any less guilty.

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

They also should be reminded that these ice agents are not new hires. They all served under Biden.

Trump did not hire 100,000 new immigration agents after putting an article in a ku Klux Klan newsletter. Most of them were serving under Trump's first administration. Biden kept them on the job.

I thought the NG was handled by each state?

[–] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They can be taken over by the US military at any time at the orders of the President.

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

If I understand correctly, the president can request the assistance of the NG but final say still sits with the governor except in very specific situations that don’t currently apply, like invoking the insurrection act.

That’s a hell of a photo
