What's most likely to happen in terms of President Trump using soldiers of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines against peoples in American streets viewed by him and his supporters as committing treason due to their opposition to him, his government, and his policies, in your opinion?

What should happen, in your opinion, regardless of whatever is most likely?

This is all throughout the news lately, but there's some more context here from an international perspective at: https://www.dw.com/en/la-protests-us-deploying-hundreds-of-marines/live-72839578

My personal thoughts is that the Trump administration has already failed over the past six months or so in its attempts to use violence to stop Americans from opposing it and its actions (with militancy the past several months being ineffective and allowing for anti-Trump activists to not just remain alive but even be highly visible in many locations). And this is likely to continue for the rest of the year. Isolated incidents of dramatic events such as some certain journalist getting assassinated by U.S. Marines by accident (and I mean a complete accident that wasn't intended whatsoever, like by somebody who messes up his or her trigger discipline due to tripping while walking) or other things could very well come about. They're plausible but not likely. In my opinion. We'll see, though. The chance of miscalculations and other such things is higher than in previous years.

There's the underlying matter of whether or not MAGAs and Trump himself should actually view opposition to them as treason requiring military action and whether or not their viewpoints are morally correct, of course, but that's outside the scope of this chat here (because violence is happening now, has been happening, and will be happening regardless of whether or not I, you, or anybody else wants it).

I know very little about what's going on. I have heard that Marines are being deployed to potentially help detain possible American citizens, and as a Marine veteran this makes me angry.

I swore the same oath they did. To defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. And to obey the orders of the president in accordance with the ucmj.

The order of those directives is intentional, as is the qualifier for the second one. UCMJ Article 92 covers our duty to obey lawful orders, and our duty to disobey orders which are unlawful, unethical, or which may violate the constitution or a citizen's rights.

Those Marines being deployed need to be reminded of their duty to disobey, so that they may arm themselves legally when, not if, they are ordered to do something unconstitutional.

Does taking illegal drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and the like actually make you better off in terms of stimulating business success by easing your mental stress?

Is it long past time for the regular use of cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms to be as standard in regular job shifts that involve mental taxing efforts as nicotine cigarettes and very strong coffees?

I'm also curious if anybody here on the autism spectrum in particular can inform us as to whether or not illegal drugs have been either positive in helping them (or maybe even literally the best thing that helps them)... anyone willing to chime in? Isn't it true that being on the autism spectrum means that your entire brain chemistry is fundamentally different than somebody who's setup otherwise, basically at a level similar to how men and women are different as well as how children and adults are different? Or am I maybe misinformed about that?

OC edition! post your OC stuff and what you're working on..


Post your original content. Here are the rounds that will be available from Evil™️ Guns. The 13 mm хг (handgun), the 13 mm АР (assault rifle), the 13 guage shotgun, the .33 mini rounds,

And now we have the 4.20 СР (sniper rounds). For the Dragonov rifles or the BAR (a fully automatic Lite machine gun that uses 4.20 sniper rounds), or Mosin Ngatan in 4.20 СР (Sniper Rounds),

We also eternally have 9mm mokorov ammo (9x18 Russian). Goes great in an Uzi or TMP chambered in 9 mm Makarov. And the Mac 9s are in 9mm mokorov.

And the .33 Mini rounds are great for small game, civilian self defence and target shooting. Great for the kids. Fully automatic rifles in .33 Mini are great for a lot of things, like crowd control or arming women and children.

But every man woman and child should be given a free Ak-47 chambered in 13 MM АР (assault rifle) rounds.

It's the brand name Evil™️ version of the 5.56x45mm Nato rounds and the 7.62x39 Russian rounds, with the 13 Millimeter Assault Rifle rounds being somewhere in between these two types of rounds. Great for AK iron sights or M16 scopes. Or M16 iron sights abd AKs with scopes. Either way, the 13mm Assault Rifle round is perfect for war zones. Predominantly in the brand name Evil™️ M16s or Ak-47s, the 13 mm assualt rifle round is the first and last round you ever need out of a rifle that can be the first and last rifle that you'll ever need.

The .666 Magnum has a six shooter called the Black Butterfly, as well as the Desert Evil handgun (called a soldier smoker).

This is the Evil™️ Guns Kris Vector, chambered in 13 mm handgun. Its a submachine gun and holds 44 rounds of 13 mm handgun ammo.

This particular submachine gun is known as a modern greece gun. The 13 mm handgun ammo is about comprable to a 45acp.

You can get it in fully automatic .33 rounds, or in 9x18 mokorov, but the best use of this gun is having one chambered in 13 mm Handgun ammo.

It wasn't an irrational fear when we were all being told that Kamala was sure to win the presidency not that long ago, or when we were subject to the executive orders of a senile old man who didn't even know what he was signing.  And maybe you missed that whole little "abolish the police" movement that Democrats like to pretend they weren't in support of.  It makes perfect sense that this flag was created some time during the past 4 years and it would also make sense for it to remain proudly displayed even after Trump became president as a fuck you to the left.  Because most people who see that combination of symbols should know what it means.  Proud to be American.  Support the police.  Don't tread on me.  I.e. the exact opposite of Democrats and the left.

You're confusing two different things.  The treading is one thing and support of the police is another.  You can even be in favor of police reform without being anti cop.  And even if I grant that there is some treading by the right, that clearly isn't the treading he's concerned about.  It's just awhataboutisn.

Five different rounds, Evil™️ Guns.

And here at Evil™️ Guns, we have five different rounds to choose from. The .33 mini, 13 mm ХГ (handgun), the 13 mm АР (assault rifle), the 13 guage shotgun shell, and the .666 magnum.

And the .33 Mini is Evil™️'s analog of the .22 LR. Excellent for feeding those miniature-sized AK-47s and miniature size M16's that you give to the children. It also makes a very good snake gun and small game hunter. The .33 Mini goes well with a first time shooter or for target practice.  Or just a useful round when you have small game or rats to kill. .33 Mini


Our submachine guns are usually chambered in 13 mm ХГ(handgun) and our shotfuns aee wonderfult, the trench sweeper Evil™️ Guns Shotgun is a wonderful pump action shotgun, which usually comes in birdshot, buckshot,or elephant shot.

We have Ak 47s (kiloshnikovs) chambered in 13 mm АР (асулт Рйфул - assault rifle), which is an excellent round for taking down soldiers or other armoured enemies.

We have M-16s in 13 mm АР and it:s perfect for war crimes.

We have plenty of handguns to choose from, all using the 13 mm ХГ (handgun ammo) which is essentially a Russian version of the 45 ACP.

Since, as stated before, "73.6% (or 174 million people) of the citizen voting-age population was registered to vote and 65.3% (or 154 million people) voted" last time around, I don't agree with the assertion either of "your beliefs don't matter if you don't vote" or "it's popular to claim that your beliefs don't matter if you don't vote".

Like we literally just said and agreed, tens of millions didn't vote. Tens of millions. There are more 'not voting dudes' in America than the entire population of Denmark. Or Israel. Or other whole big places.

I can see somebody worth listening to making the argument "you have to vote" but it has be justified.

Same as saying: "R2-D2 is the best character in 'Star Wars'." It's not a crazy opinion. But it needs to be justified.

It's now been days and days of military campaigns involving Israeli forces trying to kill their Iranian counterparts and vise-versa.

It seems that the U.S. is participating, with President Trump giving exact battlefield guidance about "kill this guy" and "don't kill this guy", but isn't involved. No American troops are doing anything and no plans seemingly exist otherwise. No American civilians are asked to even say anything, let alone asked to do anything.

Again, not <involved>, even if <participating>. I don't want to accidentally seem to spread misinformation or just confusion.

What opinions do you have?

Specifically, what do you think Americans not being involved, as such?

Note: I would link where this screenshot comes from, but the ABC News website for that story doesn't seem to work anymore, presently. You can still just look at ABC News generally.

UFOs as in designed by extraterrestrials that are appearing on earth? I think it would be foolish to completely discount the possibility but it's not particularly high on my internal probability meter for "paranormal" stuff at the moment. Extraterrestrials existing anywhere at all outside of earth? It feels like it would be unlikely that we're the only form of life anywhere at all I mean it's a huge universe but somehow there isn't any conclusive evidence for this yet. I'd say it's much more likely than extraterrestrial UFOs on earth though. I personally believe in extraterrestrial life of SOME sort but in the same way as someone would be agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist. In other words I have no reason to be remotely certain it's just a personal belief that I'm open to be disproven or proven or anything between.

What do you guys think about the whole "Nurses fight back!" Movement?

Apparently nurses are getting fed up with (doing their job) helping patients get up to use the restroom, refusing to help patients with the urinals, refusing to put in catheters, refusing to work with dementia patients and other mental deficiencies, verbally belittling, insulting, or outright neglecting care, ect, ect.

Interestingly there has also been a rise in the amount of assaults on nurses in 2025.

Thoughts?

In this case it isn't just a case of "Demanding a work safe environment" But rather an actual refusal to administer basic care. Regardless of how a patient is acting, you administer aid even if that means being an adult and asking for the appropriate aid needed to administer that aid.

Can you imagine if cops didn't go into a hostile situation (even though it is apart of the job description, which it is for nurses) and the police simply said "No." Without even calling for backup or the other resources they have at their disposal?

Let me ask you and the other guy what you would do if you were assaulted while trying to treat your patient and then they had to use the restroom? Would you refuse to do so outright, or get help with numbers?

Because if you just walked away, you don't deserve to be in the medical field.

The Russian Federation and the United States of America, as imperial forces extremely parallel to the past Roman Empire (as well as the French Empire, Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and other such entities), can't truly collapse in the traditional sense.

This is because both cultures don't just contain massive amounts of nuclear weapons but that the regular American people as well as the regular Russian people don't have the psychological barrier to using atomic bombs on victims that other societies do.

As evidence, I'd point to the dual nukes used on Japan during World War Two by the Americans as well as the repeated instances during the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s in which key figures in the Russian government forward deployed tactical nuclear weapons in territories such as Chechnya.

It's also worth noting that the Russian Federation and the United States of America are the two countries with the largest neo-fascist and neo-Nazi movements in the world per capita, when one looks at world politics as whole.

I'd also like to remark for a bit that the major causes of decline for an Empire throughout history were economic collapse as a result of these three fundamental things:

>A)A runaway debasement of regular currency such that inflation has basically destroyed a regular person's psychological trust in the financial system.

>B)Extreme growth in the wealth of those politically connected mean that an elite class of government-x-business types are so removed from most people that they're basically another biological species, like putting rabbits up against foxes or lions up against gazelle.

>C)A systemic abandonment of budgetary policy such that government spending, government debt, and government deficits become infinite factors that're charged with somehow growing forever.

Now while Donald Trump supporters love all of these things and are fighting nail, tooth, and claw for them to occur, and while other conservative as well as general right-wing movements across the Earth are likewise doing so, I don't believe that these three trends appeal to most regular people. Especially since they're so obviously against the rational self-interests of these individuals.

If, in America, the Republicans succeed in adopting infinite debt, infinite deficits, and infinite spending, then this would be against not just the general will of the people but basically all groups within the U.S.

I'll also like to say, as delicately as I can put it, that even if the political right-wing seeks to maintain power and authority in a "or else" and "by any means necessary" level that it's not as if raw state power alone on the behalf of runaway inflation can't be fought back by an armed populace.
