    Thing is, those are guardsmen. Probaly are called up and pulled from their families to end up in Chicago… All for the benefit of a deflecting old fuck that doesn’t want us to remember that he’s likely on the Epstein list for doing the dirty to underage girls.

    This is the EXACT thing we’re supposed to forget. Epstein.

      Nobody’s forgetting hes a pedophile who has fucked tons of baby girls. We knew this before the Epstein list came out. He said it on TV.

      Everyone who cares already hates him. The ones who dont never will.

        It’s not that they know. It’s that we won’t allow the subject to be changed anymore. We’re bullying back. If you’re tired, consider taking a break in general, bc this is the only thing I’ve seen working, and it gets to places violence doesn’t reach.

        Also, your criticism is helpful and I am NOT arguing against any of your salient points.

      This isn’t an educated guess. We know he’s in there. The exact details of his involvement are need to prosecute, but we for sure without a doubt know. We may not know it directly from this case, but the sum of all of the evil shit he’s been a part of will easily lead you there, just not enough to prosecute this exact instance unfortunately.

    • burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      On the one hand, I feel bad for them. They signed up because it put a little extra food on their family’s plates, and they felt like they’d be helping out in case of a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or similar. They likely don’t desire to enforce the anti-constitutional rulings of a degenerate. They’ll be fired at best for refusing, jailed or made an example of at worst.

      But… they are still the hands carrying out the tasks. Fuck them. We live in a society where information is milliseconds away, and being ill-informed on a topic is only due to laziness. There are fucking cartoons that will explain constitutional law if you can’t read a text based article for long enough to grasp the topic, for fuck’s sake.

    I try hard not to make fun of people’s appearances. It’s not fair to mock them for their weight or their little mustaches or their ill-fitting camo gear.

    But….

    These are evil people arriving to do evil things. Sometimes ridicule is the only weapon we can use against them, since violence would only bring more of the same.

    So I guess it’s fair to say that these fearsome warriors, hot off their recent and decisively clear victory over anorexia, will pour into Chicago, like beef gravy over pizza, and devour their chosen enemy, no matter how much sweat, panting, and snacks it takes…

    Unless their enemy is at the top of more than 2 flights of stairs, of course.

      Same. I used to be overweight (though as much as they are), and even though I’m fit now, I would never make fun of a random person’s weight - you never know what illness or psych problem they are dealing with.

      But in this case I think it’s fair, as 1) soldiers should be fit, and 2) they are here to hurt (or at least intimidate) you, so no reason to be nice to them

      source
      • Catalyst_A@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Their body weight and physical build is very, very relevant. Someone physically unfit for the situation will resort to use of deadly force immediately. So bash away.

      • snooggums@piefed.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Also there are four of them in close proximity which is fucking hilarious following shortly after the drunkass Pete Hegswhatever was just lecturing the military commanders about how he was going to get rid of anyone who didn't meet his physical standards.

      Given the usual missions I’ve seen the National Guard deployed for, I would actually give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are actually good willed people. Which makes the whole situation all the more deplorable and Trump all the more of an evil cunt. Hopefully he gets hoisted by his own petard.

    • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      These are evil people arriving to do evil things.

      They’re members of the national guard. The typical enlistment period for the National Guard is 8 years. Many would have joined under Biden, and are probably still required to serve out a number of years. If they don’t, then they might have to suddenly pay back the tuition benefits or something. The military, Guard included, isn’t normally something you can just quit if you don’t like how things are going.

      ICE employees? That’s another matter. You had to voluntarily join ICE, and many of them have joined in just the last few months. They knew what they were getting into. They’re wearing masks to hide their identities, and all the bad incidents I’ve heard of (people being shot by rubber bullets, being thrown down and injured, etc.) have been ICE not Guard.

      source
      • Aljernon@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        They have no choice about their lawful orders. These guardsmen were ordered to deploy against America and didn’t refuse. Maybe evil is a strong term but it sure sounds like Treason to me.

    Like Tiananmen square, the regime stopped using local troops in an attempt to flex their authority and instead brought in outside military with no attachment to the area so they would have less trouble being ordered to fire on civilians.

  • supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I love how everyone is so willing to hate on their weight here as if that matters, what matters is if they will uphold their duty to serve this country or be cowards and do whatever Trump says. Who cares if they don’t have the body type you associate with a marvel superhero character? Even if they are infantry we aren’t talking about frontline troops we are talking about The National Guard. This just seems like such an easy way to try to start flinging mud, when the issue is existential and directly related to whether we are under authoritarian military rule or not.

    Stop commenting on their shapes! The true cynical dirty play here is Divide and Conquer.

    Why don’t they deploy national gaurds who are from Chicago?
    I’m sure there plenty of military servicemen whose origin and families from Chicago itself, that if they really cared about protecting the Chicago community.

    They bring people from the most opposite polictical spectrum, from opposite views and concerns of Chigaco residents, from opposite far states to police and terrorize folks they have the least connections to obey orders and terrorize residents without any objection or understanding!

    When I was in the army these boys would’ve prolly not been able to keep up and would’ve been sent home to eat Ozempic and diet for a year or two before returning to the brigade.

    Hell, I’m a supply NCO, trained as a quartermaster as well and I don’t think we’d have sizes big enough, lol.
