@Janet_52square @vowe come back 🥺

@duckwhistle @sonjavan62 @vowe Kind of like how the soldiers flying the planes refused the orders to kill civilian targets?

Checks and balances are gone. They just did a whole thing where generals were required to swear an oath of fealty to Trump above all.

Trump has ordered troops illegally into cities. They didn't start violence, but they also didn't refuse the illegal orders to go in in what he hoped would result in violence. Then ICE came...

I do not trust people to refuse anymore.

@nazokiyoubinbou @sonjavan62 @vowe
nah, militaries end up firing on civilians in prety much every conflict. The only difference is how proud/ashamed of it they are.

Being the first person to launch a nuke though, that's a whole world ending level of guilt even without the target being your own country or that of an ally. I have hope that most of the people who have that job, got it back when people who looked for responsability over fanatacism were in charge.

@duckwhistle @sonjavan62 @vowe I can't really agree that it's that easy to just shrug off murdering civilians, but I'll put that aside. I'd love it if you were right, but what I'm seeing right now is Project 2025 working hard to fill all the positions with loyalists who will obey no matter what. Those at the top are getting even the military to swear fealty to Trump and the regime, *not* to the Constitution.

I don't think it's a good idea to assume they won't do what they're told anymore.

@jhaand @DartzIRL @vowe you could start cooking with wine around noon. One bottle for the dish, one bottle for the cook.

@vowe also the European desire to sound like an American boomer from the 50’s in their posts

[lo_fye@mastodon.social]

@vowe @ocramius At least you’re not in Canada, which shares a border and timezones with the USA. It’s brutal.

[endicottauthor@mastodon.social]

@vowe We Americans feel your pain. For us, it starts with the morning edition of CNN and goes all day long.

@vowe but at the same time be thankful you don't live in this shithole fascist country

@vowe this is so true! Even on week-ends. And we, in the land of the swiss we take that weekend thing seriously. We can't go shopping for alcohol except at the gas station shops, but we still have to suffer from this "gestures vaguely".

@sortius @vowe Annnd us Chinese. We wake up to this shit as well.

@PierricD @jhaand @DartzIRL @vowe in Bavaria beer is staple food in some cases allowed even for breakfast („Weißwurstfrühstück“).

(In case someone doesn’t get it: It’s a joke, not a law. You may drink the whole day…)

[macquilter@toot.community]

@mwyman @vowe @blogdiva Exactly.

[beasley@troet.cafe]

@vowe so true!

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@h5e @vowe Would do so in a heartbeat

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

[chotemysl@nrw.social]

@vowe Jawoll!
