This photo of Brian McGinnis is going to be in museums and history books if we aren’t wiped out in nuclear fire.

@lawyersgunsnmoney it's a real downer and the exact opposite of everything we taught in schools and claimed to stand for. Nothing more than rabid genocidal dogs now.

I'd rather be doing something to move forward, not be stuck trying to halt the backsliding.

@tuban_muzuru @Wyatt_H_Knott @hacks4pancakes I don’t agree for a variety of reasons. Then again, I didn’t think Germany should have been reunified - just pastures, cows, horses and sheep.

@bweller @FeloniousPunk @Wyatt_H_Knott @hacks4pancakes It is a downer and it is the opposite of what we’re taught. I never thought I’d be re-living Europe in the 1930s, but here we are. Many of us here on the platform, including yourself, saw the path we’re on. The Heritage/Fascists’ blitzkrieg to destroy democracy. I’ve said this before but I doubt I’ll be on this Earth when we get rid of the fuckers

@morb@mastodon.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange what's the propaganda spin being used to discredit this? I only saw the video itself, he's clearly right about that shit lol

@Wyatt_H_Knott @lawyersgunsnmoney @hacks4pancakes A professional standing army creates a culture that worships its own raw power. Democracy and rule of law are inconvenient accidents of history to such a mindset.

This is also why some leaders have proposed mandatory service for young adults. The idea is to dilute or counteract the power worship, and to spread the military know-how among all demographics.

@lawyersgunsnmoney Do you think McGinnis has a case against Sheehy for damages? Sure McGinnis was breaking some rules with what he was doing, and the officials who tried to remove him are probably protected because of that, but Sheehy never had the remit to step in. @Wyatt_H_Knott @hacks4pancakes

The USA would be better served to revise our form of government, for it's the USA with the problem.

@tokyo_0 @Wyatt_H_Knott @hacks4pancakes Hi, I think he has a
Civil case. IMO McGinnis isn’t going to get District of Columbia prosecutors or MPD. Sen Sheehy does not have the immunity from prosecution that the officers do. No question there was a battery and I think McGinnis can easily prove a tort claim

@tasket @Wyatt_H_Knott @hacks4pancakes Countries tend to attack each other for land, resources, hubris so I think we need one. Civilian control of the military is IMO what we did to prevent junta’s. We elected a junta, so there is the failure.
I am in favor of universal service as you suggested but if there is anything that would galvanize opposition to the war, re-instituting the draft would be it. Some friends’ Dad’s were killed in Vietnam….

Imho the fascisme is fuelled by fear of people for their livelihood. As long as that continues, fascisme will thrive.

Again imho, what we should do and can (try to) do is to reinstiute faith by reviving the real economy with tools like timebanks.
