I like how you don't have to use AI to make the Border Patrol Chief/Head of ICE Chicago Ops dress like a Nazi soldier because that's literally how he proudly presents himself.

Beggars can't be choosers but I'm a bit bummed to not see any ChatGPT or Alexa integration.

About time. I was getting ready to quit playing guitar thinking this would never happen.

I saw that and immediately thought of properly executed leg kicks. 😂

What exactly does it take for 8 guys to stop 3 guys from assaulting and abducting a middle-aged woman?

I feel like Kash Patel got caught masturbating once and never fully processed and moved on from the situation.

I'd realize it if it was based in reality.

MAGA people don't tend to flock to the military. They're cowards who expect others to do the fighting for them.

Benn Jordan @bennjordan.bsky.social · 5d

I could say the same about you.

You're plugging your ears while I try to explain how the military takes advantage of socioeconomic conditions so you can hear yourself shout virtue signals.

We get it. Fascism is bad. Freedom is good. Unfortunately it's not a binary metric in reality.

You're calling my own experiences propaganda.

Military grooming is a very real thing, especially in the Guard. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I had a friend who signed up as a "military photographer" to kick off a journalism career. He was promised to never leave US soil.
He died in Iraq.

Should We End Military Recruiting in High Schools as a Matter of Child Protection and Public Health?

Recruiters for the various US armed forces have free access to our nation's high schools, as mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. Military recruiter behaviors are disturbingly similar to predator...

Teenagers signing up for the guard are not having those discussions. It's often the only available step towards a career or a means to an end.

I'll declare them an enemy when they carry out violent orders against US citizens. Until then, they're welcome to join the rest of us in restoring democracy

I grew up in a poor area. Every place teens hung out at had a recruiter bugging us.

They'd list off famous musicians who "started in military". Tell me I'd be a able to fly a jet outside of the Earth's atmosphere. Impress girls. Make my family proud.

It's not exactly a fascism sign up form.

While I appreciate the insinuation that I'm smart, sometimes phrases like this feel like I'm only considered smart when I'm saying something that doesn't challenge a previous notion.

Go on. Let that headline sink in.

How does this relate to my OP?

1

Benn Jordan @bennjordan.bsky.social · 5d

Right. But the NG has not received orders to kill or even detain anyone afaik.

That's not to say they won't, but this mode of thinking requires assuming they're MAGA soldiers.

They're young people who chose the agnostic branch of military that typically helps fellow Americans.

It'd be exciting to develop tiny ESP32 powered AirTag-like-devices that operate on encrypted LoRa channels.

If stuck on in the wheel well of an ICE vehicle, you'd have a tracking system that would evolve into a technological arms race between the open source community and agoraphobic rent-a-cops.

Apple/Google Play Store blocking ICE tracking apps should be a push into decentralized RF communication.

Is it?

Because I'm talking about a bunch of people standing around for photo ops and not acts of genocide.
