Remember thinking, back in the day, "when the totalitarians come, the military and police won't support them"? Does anyone still think that?

I've railed against that zombie rant about supporting the "men and women in blue" for decades. The only way totalitarians can happen is through their paid uniformed thugs who enforce "the law"-- no questions asked.

Yeah because everyone could be depersoned with masks maybe.

There's a reason they bag people's heads during death by firing squad.

Same is true with drones. Much easier to kill from "far" away than up close.

There's a reason they recruit 'em young in those professions, and it's not just the need for physical fitness. "Yes sir" comes a lot easier to those too young to realize they've been getting bullshitted for their entire lives.

Armies of resistance are of all ages for they fight with conviction. IтАЩve been very impressed with the 60 year old coal miners of the Donbas volunteering to fight the 25 yr old UkronaziтАЩs.

Well, given the choice: would you rather hold the stick or be the target of the stick?

Some wolves are after all smart enough to become guard dogs.
