A presidential candidate is legitimately proposing a purge. This is why I have guns lol

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

I think it's a kristallnacht.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 66 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I do honestly see the US adopting the purge because some CEO decided it would give their security company a 3% increase in profits.

I'm pretty sure some of the worst recent trends in policing can be traced back to investments made by Peter Thiel and other silicon valley ghouls, so probably.

Anglos wouldn't even need an incentive to go murder the poor, they do it already.

Gotcha, arm the house less.

I think this is largely the backstory of the actual purge movies. Or something, idk, I didn't watch them.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I've heard that some of the movies have pretty subtle messages towards it being class warfare, but as always with this sort of thing, the CHUDs only accept the most surface level interpretation from "don't build the torment nexus"

"Wow, it would be dope to be able to shoot my neighbours with slightly too long grass!" - Least unhinged HOA guy watching The Purge

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

HOA guys are literally the villains of the Purge franchise and it's not all that subtle about it.

I guess he'd know a thing or exactly 2 about really violent days where just one snap of violent force puts an end to a problem.

You can have the purge and you'll still be full of bloodthirsty imperialist who can't wait to nuke china russia or whoever you don't like. Hell you fucks already have school shootings that rival purge numbers to "get it out" Edit: it seems he means that for cops. But shit the purge movies were mostly an opportunity for govt killers to get undesirables out the paint

Have chuds really forgot the riots of 2020?!? They have zero understanding of what terrors can occur. John Brown was right about these fucking cretins.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have chuds really forgot the riots of 2020?!?

Nah if you even interact with chuds even slightly they love bringing it up, it's a real sore point for them because it somehow demonstrates how the Democrats are actually violent communists or something. They concern troll over "muh one billion dollar damage" or "oh yeah, those protestors were peaceful? They burned whole cities down! :smuglord: "

It will be 2 billion next time if they keep this shit up

You're forgetting they don't care. Chuds are the biggest adventurists. And then when they find out they'll still be the victims

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Many chuds bought AR 15 and hundreds of rounds of ammo in response to 2020

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

I stg if I get purged because one of the presidential candidates is a CHUD who probably doesn't know what room he's in I'll be pissed.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

Republican platform is just the Turner Diaries now yea

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If America does a purge, do you think all the low level government employees would be too busy hiding in fear that day to notice the warnings that several dozen Dong Feng ballistic missiles were fired directly at Washington DC?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 month ago

Huh. That's something I never thought about "the purge" (and another reason why those movies are so dumb). It would be the perfect opportunity for the US's enemies to conduct espionage or attacks under the guise of people purging. Hell, a ton of local militias would probably do that too.

This dude needs a pope-mobile if he's gonna keep saying stuff that's gonna make the libs want to kill him. He still regularly holds outdoor rallies and does them with just a clear bullet proof screen in front of him when Ukraine already demonstrated the effectiveness of drones, eventually someone's gonna realise they don't need to use a gun and could just fly a suicide drone in from relative safety.

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Pretty sure they're supposed to have drone jammers at these events, then again they were spectacularly incompetent once already so who knows.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

I don't think this is true. Think about it - if you're blocking connections for remote control you need to block EVERYTHING on that connection frequency.

If television broadcasters can get a connection to send their video signal then a means of connection exists. Or if the average person at the event can get an internet connection via their phone... A drone can get a connection through that method too.

Maybe they block a common set of radio frequencies used by radio controlled devices or something. But they aren't blocking everything and can't or they wouldn't be able to run the event. A drone can be controlled from many different means, if an internet connection to your phone exists then it also exists for a drone equipped to be controlled in that way.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe those little directional ones?

Wait, is that a thing? Am I just imagining stuff?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I don't know, IR? I think there's direct line of sight connections too. There's a lot of different ways. Some things are definitely not being blocked though or else all these other connections wouldn't be a thing. Like really seriously think about it in the sense that the cops aren't magical all seeing and all powerful. At the material level we can see for 100% certain that there are connections that aren't being blocked.

We have this perception that they're doing a lot more than they actually are. It's part of the illusion of power.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The thing I'm imagining looks like a big radar gun that just kinda floods the appropriate channels in a beam (depends on drone), but it would still require someone to spot the drone and someone to aim the jammer (and calibrate it to 4G or wifi or whatever), so lots to go wrong in the time it takes for a drone to cross from unrestricted to restricted airspace. And if the drone has a directional antenna (less likely the smaller the drone, but for a purpose built assassin drone, could be) it would be a lot less effective.

But I'm still not sure if its a real thing. It does sound like something cops would buy should it exist tho

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Ahh I see what you mean yeah. I feel like if these were effective they'd be mounted on every single tank instead of cope cages though.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

idk starting to think that a fascist coup in the US, like an actual one, not the joke jan 6th tantrum but mass pogroms and assassinations, is an inevitability at this point, like it's what everything is pointing towards, and what meager leftwing exists in the US should treat it as of a piece with climate catastrophe and adopt a "prepper" mindset for it, even if that's like pessimistic or "soft accelerationism" or a psychologically "unhealthy" space to be in like what else can we do we just fail and fail to prevent this or to even effect a change that has a chance of one day moving the needle like what the fuck

[–] 666@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Guess having boar slugs for defense was a smart choice.
