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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

The secretary of war is saying they should deploy the army against the civilian population because of an "invasion from within", and proposes mechanism by which he can remove dissenters within the armed forces, and openly suggests preparing the armed forces to do battle by first killing civilians
I don't quite find this as funny as you guys I guess. The people with the nukes are dangerous, unreliable and untethered to reality.
I do wonder how much of this is a reaction to the embarrassment that was the military parade, and how much is hegseth playing Göring
I agree, we can make fun of their idiocy, but... this some Jakarta Method shit.
It's important to recognize the incredibly small number of coin tosses we are from rivers of blood and bodies.
I make in fun of it to cope but yeah shit's not looking good. The boomerang is arcing back to the thrower.
If I don't laugh, I am going to scream.
Anyone on the left has known about the possibility of violent repression. This isn't anything new or unexpected. You hold no lever of power, you can't stop this anyway. Might as well laugh.
I wonder why exactly they're building up so many mechanisms of repression so quickly, what this is in preparation for. A lot of users are saying fascism, which I think is basically going to be forcing the maximum amount of capital possible out of labor - austerity, cruelty, violence... I fear they'll make nazi labor camps look like a rehearsal
Not laughing but excited to see the inventible and necessary accelerated.
