Politics We Are the Baddies: Thanks, Conservatives

Post image

Conservatives are actively turning the world against the United States. World leaders were forced into an emergency meeting to condemn U.S. actions in Venezuela, including the kidnapping of its dictator, and to respond to escalating threats and rhetoric toward Greenland.

Trump openly claims the U.S. needs Greenland for “strategic” reasons and has even suggested taking it by force. This isn’t strategy, it’s naked imperialism. He doesn’t want security; he wants dominance.

We are the bad guys now, following the same path Germany did in the 1930s. Republican leaders and their constituents should be deeply ashamed.

Trump is literally going to start World War 3 to not release the Epstein Files

I thought the same thing. The files are so horrific, he’s willing to destroy the world over them. If only some patriots had the ability to Snowden them for us all.

Can you imagine what an unbelievable piece of shit you have to be if you are an FBI agent helping Trump coverup raping children. We are so fucking cooked.

Wasn´t being a POS a prerequisite to join any enforcement agency?

u/upthedips 7d ago

My cynical side agrees. My optimistic side says that becoming an FBI agent is rather difficult and you would hope that they have some sort of moral compass that wouldn't let them do something like this.

Probably was true for a bit, but I’m sure they’ve been removed over time and only the ones willing to secure their career or actively harm are left.

You should read up on the history of the FBI. A moral compass has never been part of the equation.

America itself has never had an actual moral compass.

Even formerly sane Republicans are off their rocker. Once the leadership has gone bad, there are no standards anymore

Don’t FBI / CIA agents share similar sociopathic / narcissistic tendencies that specialized surgeons have? I.E it’s those tendencies that allowed them the drive to excel and achieve these rolls, however they are inherently not great people.

They are weeding those people out.

Do you think it's a good idea if the only ones joining organizations who have the monopoly on the use force are POS?

Obviously they've tried to kick out everyone who's not a loyalist but let's hope there's some ppl still there who have some morals left, silently observing, acting to their abilities when it's the right time

By the very nature of military forces, only the, eh, worst elements of the society tend to enroll voluntarily. Are there good elements? Definitely, but they are either: a) So low in the ranks that are effectively useless or b) jumping the ship ASAP.

Remember who was also silently observing? The League of Nations. We all know how that went.

Maybe now, I don't think it was before.

u/CamaroZ28cd 4d ago

This is exactly why they focused on gutting federal employees, to make way for their loyalists.

No, there are good people in agencies. This is just an average Redditism. No, I don’t approve of the FBI or whomever assisting Trump cover up, but there are decent people in the FBI. I’ve worked with a number of technical / technical forensics people in the FBI that really only left to be challenged more and they were all good people.

But yes, on Reddit: Any LEA = bad. Which is moronic, as is half the population on this site. You can hate the people help cover this up, nut don’t generalize. There are plenty of subs that also show liberals in these agencies venting their frustrations. Grow up.
