The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

This is what frustrates me most as a Canadian watching this from over the fence.
I’ve seen ICE videos of them killing people. There are 6 officers and 75 people with phones. ICE shoots someone and none of the 75 people do anything. They let it happen. The 75 people just stood by and watched ICE murder a citizen in broad daylight. When in reality those 75 people could have not only stopped the murder from happening, but likely killed those 6 ICE agents and prevented a future tragedy.
The fact no one wants to try and stop this is why it’s still happening. America is filled with keyboard warriors and when push comes to shove, a bunch of pussies.
America is falling not just because of people not voting (Which 1/3rd of eligible voters allowed this to happen), but because of deliberate inaction as fascism takes over right in front of everyone with no resistance at all.
But maybe we’ll have a protest on a Saturday afternoon. That’ll show em.
Surely civilians joining together in a mob to take out Trump’s gang of lil rascals would be the end of it right?
President Donald Trump has repeatedly signaled he is open to invoking the Insurrection Act, a law from 1807 that allows the president to deploy the military in the United States.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has awarded Palantir Technologies Inc. a five-year blanket purchase to expand the department’s use of artificial intelligence and large-scale data analytics platforms across its agencies.
Executives from high-tech firms Meta, OpenAI and Palantir are joining the Army Reserve at the rank of lieutenant colonel to serve in Detachment 201, a new “Executive Innovation Corps,” the service announced Friday.

Good luck bringing 75 guns to a Palantir drone fight, Mark Wahlberg.
Brother to the North, fuck you. You’re the same.
Death staring you in the face, you’d do the same. Do you have kids? A partner? Fancy leaving them or anyone else you love early? Make that decision in mere seconds. Paralysis would take you too.
Keyboard warrior pointing the finger. Not everyone has so little to live for that they’d throw it away for a notion of standing up for injustice while a gun is staring you in the face. Shit’s not easy. I commend anyone making the choice to do so. But don’t point a finger while you’re not even here. You fucking ignorant pussy
I’ve served in the Canadian Armed Forces. I’ll bet my house that’s more than anything you’ve ever done. I’ve served my country once and I would do it again tomorrow if it came to it.
Your projection is so bright it can be seen from space.
You served in an organized military force with institutional backing, without implied threats to your family based on your conduct. That’s a very different proposition than the choice facing American resistors now, isn’t it?
It’s a group psychology phenomenon (I forget the name). Everyone was waiting for someone else to intervene.
