#Introduction Other interests I realized I've been writing about more than I initially thought I would: Animal Crossing, retro-game and franchise changes/comparisons over time, religious (counter-)apologetics, and the ever-present #uspol because we're somehow even bigger baddies than we used to be.

This is the only opinion that matters. The Greenlanders. The felon, corrupt, war-criminal POTUS has no say. Leave Greenland to the Greenlanders.

yahoo.com/news/articles/greenl

Greenland's party leaders rejected President Trump's repeated calls for the U.S. to take control of the island, saying that Greenland's future must be decided by its people.

"We don't want to be Americans, we don't want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and four party leaders said in a statement Friday night.

Mr. Trump reiterated on Friday that he would like to make a deal to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous region that's part of NATO ally Denmark, "the easy way." He said that if the U.S. doesn't own it, then Russia or China will take it over, and the U.S. does not want them as neighbors. NATO allies and Greenland have disagreed with Mr. Trump's assessment.

Re "It's normal for voters to believe campaign promises".

The idea of what's "normal" changes continuously - slowly in societies, but quickly in individuals.

Education in & practice of critical thinking can change a person's perception literally in an instant.

The 1970s oligarchs aimed to destroy critical thinking. They turned education into mindless training.

Note: Environment typically overrides nature in attitude formation. Fortunately.

America must limit the education of marginal groups, said Huntington. Prior to
World War Il, only 40 per cent of the population was educated beyond
elementary level; by 1972, that figure was 75 per cent.
The report summed up the threat thus — education raises political
consciousness, which raises demands, which make democratic government
unworkable:
The more educated a person is, the more likely he is to participate in
politics, to have a more consistent and more ideological outlook on
political issues ,and to hold more “enlightened” or “liberal” or “change-
oriented” views on social, cultural and foreign policy issues.
...Black political participation,’ the report said, ‘was the product
primarily... of increased group consciousness.

CW: Occasional Foul Language. Always Political.

History shows that democratic collapse rarely begins with a single decree. It unfolds through manufactured crises, scapegoating, militarization of civil life, state sanctioned violence, and the criminalization of opposition. 🤝 We understand the assignment, and we are taking action. Will you join us?

Some of us are listening. But those who need to listen most are blocking their ears:

Thom Tillis pretty much openly called for Stephen Miller's firing

One thing to listen for with regards to Greenland is if more and more people start to follow suite

There is a small core of right-wingers who want the US out of NATO

Look for the more "sane" voices to go after the people whispering in Trump's ear as a way to stop this slide

The brutal irony of Trump saying the Iran regime will get hit hard for killing protesters there, while his Nazi cronies here openly call for their Fed Gestapo to bash ant-ICE demonstrators

It's all but a declared civil war now

@dogzilla Seriously, any Americans eligible to vote in 2024, who didn't emphatically vote against Trump (and this is includes the cowards who 'sat this one out,' voted for a third party or claimed 'both sides' were the same) are complicit.

If it wasn't a tragedy, what passes as 'American democracy' would be a comedy.

This was so obviously going to be the ramifications if Trump won again.

FFS Trump had led an insurrection, which was televised live, in 2021.

When someone shows you who they are, repeatedly, vote against it.

The rest of the world despises the apathy and self-interest of a large majority of Americans, who don't ever seem to see or understand the bigger picture until it directly impacts them.

And it's only the beginning...

Sorry this isn't directed at you, I'm just angry today that it has come to this...

**I only post the hottest 10 posts in the subreddit.**

Volunteered for TDY in another state, supervisor wants me to commute from home instead of doing a travel voucher (per diem, hotel, etc)

i I volunteered for a TDY in a neighboring state and my supervisor wants me to commute from home every day for the duration of the assignment. It’s about an hour and a half commute each way for three weeks when I volunteered for this, I assumed I would get a hotel and per diem, because the main reason I signed up for this was to do a little bit of free travel and hopefully make some money. But if I’m commuting, I’m actually going to miss out on about $2000 worth of per diem, plus I’m going to have to commute three hours a day plus which is exhausting and not worth it. before I withdraw my volunteering, is there any regulation that requires a hotel in Perdiem be provided?
