The Marines didn't touch any civilians, and so far I haven't heard of any reports of non-violent peaceful protesters being harmed in any way.

Because, again, they were not needed or wanted by local law enforcement- Trump deploying them was 100% performative. Everything was 100% under control.

the left lost any moral high-ground when they threw their last tantrum. The left seems to think they can use political violence every time they don't get their own way,

This is not considered a "left" issue by people living in Los Angeles. Again, this was a political stunt, an avatar for issues that get the Right Wing base riled up. But right-leaning people here in Los Angeles don't feel threatened or invaded by "The Mexicans.

It's a REALLY BAD precedent to send troops into cities to deal with civilian law enforcement matters. Frankly I'm disappointed to see you defending this so.

Introducing some isms

Deploying military troops for civilian law enforcement, IS AUTHORITARIAN by its nature. The rhetoric I hear people not from Los Angeles using about immigrants and the ICE raids, IS the language of small minded racist fucks. If you don't want to own it, that's on you, but I see dismissing this as "Isms" a cowardly cop out.

@MentORPHEUS Here's the problem. The left lost any moral high-ground when they threw their last tantrum. The left seems to think they can use political violence every time they don't get their own way, and it's a serious problem. Especially when the people on the right get jail time and arrested for defending themselves.

You guys hit the country with your bully tactics and then clutch your pearls every time you get what you wanted: a reaction.

The national guard was a good call. The left now knows we're not going to tolerate political violence.

The Marines didn't touch any civilians, and so far I haven't heard of any reports of non-violent peaceful protesters being harmed in any way.

So all of your tears are hyperbole over something that isn't happening, while simultaneously defending the group that keeps on starting these damn fights.

racism and authoritarianism

Introducing some isms because the left can't win an argument without them.

@redpillschool

if you think the libs gets to riot summer-of-love style (including declaring autonomous zones) without some pushback from the law and order men, well, you're drinking some koolaid.

This is at the very crux of the issue. THERE ARE NOT WIDESPREAD RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES! Trump is behaving as if this were true even as you can see in the background of live news reports that life is going on as usual a block away from where troops are positioned.

Trump sending National Guard troops then Marines to "protect" Los Angeles, is purely performative. It's sickening as a local, to see people in other states cheering this on.

The LAPD doesn't want or need troops to maintain order. The Governor of California does not want or need troops to maintain order. Given this, how can anyone outside our state Justify this action, without performing as an authoritarian boot-licker in the process of doing so?

Think long and hard, about what you are expressing support for here, and why!!!

Frankly, I'm quite glad to see citizens pushing back against ICE raids on people who are working shit jobs to earn an honest living, and going through the processes of obtaining legal status. It's disgusting to send ICE agents to courthouses to target these specific individuals. Word also spread around the County that ICE agents went to a number of swap meets in their effort to meet numeric quotas.

Look, if people in Flyover states want the Feds to come in and arrest laborers in places like farm fields and meat packing plants- fine, welcome them, and live with the consequences which don't happen to actually benefit the rest of the residents of the state.

But, FUCK OFF with cheering troops getting sent to places around California, because it fits your anti-liberal sentiments. Don't use California as an avatar for your racism and authoritarianism- Own it and play it out yourselves in your own states, and live with the consequences yourselves.

@redpillschool Looks like the link to view all of a specific users forum posts is broken. It just defaults to the standard list of new posts instead.

@redpillschool

I highly, HIGHLY doubt beating the shit out of Iran will have any chance at all of leading to world war III

Every sign is that even their allies have just said "fuck you bro lol"

Iran is so hated even by their own neighbors.

I cannot fathom this resulting in world war III but Iran launching nukes would

I'm going to maintain this position because I'm that confident in it

Gonna permalink this post and quadruple down when it pans out

@redpillschool

My view is that he sweet talks, while working aggressively behind the scenes. The document @Lionsmane8 linked is informative, but one can probably infer it: Israel doesn't have the capacity to wage a constant airborne war with Iran on its own, not even for a few days.

And it's not about the neuclear weapons too: the US secret services said so: Iran is years away.

It's about Iran being the closer ally of Russia and China in the area.

This is not an Israeli initiative. These are the first skirmishes of WWIII.

It dovetails with the push for domestic reindustrialization. It makes sense when the US has weapon supremacy and AI initiative: they figure they'll perfect their AI weapons while on the war faster than the opposition.

The "makes sense" is still figurative, of course, when neuclears are involved. There's a psychopathic core in about every country, that needs to externalize this kind of drama, otherwise they go crazy. That is, I wish is was the economy. I'm afraid not. It's the decline. Its psychological aspect. Once you win (and they won over the working class and the late Left), you go crazy because you no longer have an enemy to define yourself against.

In any case, I believe that we should support peace instead of victory. That's the lesson of history.

@adam-l You have to remember the powers that be are always pushing for war- every single part of the deep state. You'll notice he still keeps putting out diplomatic messages "just sign the agreement bro" and it is every other mechanism inching closer to WW3 despite it. They're trying to force his hand. He is the first president of my lifetime that wasn't gung-ho pushing the propaganda himself.

And yeah, I think Israel is trying to goad us into it.

@redpillschool I don't follow the US internals too much. I'm mostly referring to what happens worldwide. Trump campaigned that "he'd end the war in a week" and instead he is about to declare WWIII any moment...

@adam-l I mean that's why we have the "dark winter" tribe. That said, I love both you and mento but if you think the libs gets to riot summer-of-love style (including declaring autonomous zones) without some pushback from the law and order men, well, you're drinking some koolaid.

Many blue states are literally being invaded by foreign nationals, waving other countries' flags. I say the national guard isn't enough if you come here to be violent.

I'm sick of apologizing for wanting my country to remain mine.
