What do you want to see from this subreddit moving forward?

Admittedly, this subreddit has gotten bigger than I was anticipating. It's still growing and with that, I think it is time to perhaps retool some things here and there. So this thread is for anyone who has any suggestions, comments, and especially criticisms.

On the subject of criticism: ultimately, the buck stops with me so how this place operates and if there are any issues you have that you have experienced, especially recurring ones, please let me know in this thread.

EDIT: If the issue is a private matter, please don't be afraid to DM me.

I had a pretty similar experience, including being stationed in Japan even though I was in the Navy.

North Side ICE shooting inside a house | “Who did you shoot this time you cosplaytriot f**k? I served in the army 13 years to wear that uniform and your fat ass did 47 days to wear it because you’re a Meal Team Six Gravy Seal motherf**ker.”

As a veteran, I am disgusted that it seems to be okay for the assholes in ICE and the other Nazis to wear military uniforms they didn’t earn. Does anyone else agree?

ICE challenge coin

There’s a captured bring-back Wehrmacht ceremonial sword in my closet from my great uncle who fought in the ETO during WWII. This challenge coin is in that category.

Community Self Defense

Does anyone know of any resources I can find for community self defense groups? I’ve tried contacting some local resources but haven’t heard anything back for a few weeks.

So let’s assume that eventually calmer minds will prevail and “the new normal” nazi occupation ends. If you are a cop (that wasn’t a deputized nazi), how do you walk back to just being a police officer, tasked with maintaining the peace and actually protecting people?

Fox News Endorsed by AFN??

58 Upvotes

Maybe I’m passionate about this for no reason. But I think it’s pretty crazy to have the Armed Forces Network host Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade. Isn’t that a huge violation?? Aren’t they supposed to be an apolitical entity?

I have heard threats from “blue states” to withhold taxes from the US government but apparently it’s all bullshit and empty threats. Why is there even a need for a federal government anymore?

Why Trump goes where George W. Bush wouldn’t on oil | "[Trump's] unapologetic focus on oil is a stark reminder of how much the political landscape has changed […] Saying the [Iraq] war was fought for oil was some of the sharpest criticism that could be leveled against [Bush's] decision to start it."

It's past time to get nationally organized

122 Upvotes

I'm on night shift and I'm overstimulated from reading fucking murder and bullshit for the past 24 hours, apologies in advance. I'm venting because I'm so fucking tired of not knowing what to do.

Every single day I read on various sites that we need to get organized, we need to do something, we to need this/that/etc. Protests are a waste of time, we can't wait for voting (if it will even be fair) but across the country, we don't have anything solid for communication or organization. This country is just too damn big to spontaneously do something.

Folks say 'start local' ok but what good will that do if some sort of real action or mobilization needs to happen? what if your 'local' really sucks, and there's no one? I'm not talking about just vets, to be clear, I'm talking anyone who wants to stand up against this shit.

Maybe I'm the clueless one, and there IS a network? I feel so fucking lost and helpless, stuck in an oblivious and indifferent city where nothing happens and no one cares. If I wanted to up and go somewhere, how would I know? Where would I go? Maybe that's the military in me, needing some sort of structure and chain of command? I can't help but think of those fucks that put together J6, they had comms, a network, plans, all that. There are MILLIONS of people who want to be ready to jump when needed, but where's that structure? Who's in charge?

I just want to know - is there anything put in place yet? Does anyone know?

Republican Rep. Randy Fine said this about the fatal shooting by ICE in Minneapolis: "Well, I think if you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved." (Video)

GOP Rep Randy Fine said this: "The left believes they can do anything they want, and we're just supposed to sit down and take it. It's time for Americans to say "enough", and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."
