Oh no.

Why is that not slutty mickey mouse, though?

good luck praying to the market

Don’t need luck. I got my ford F50000 fleshreaper (BLOOD FOR THE CAR GOD™) and a lift kit, plus a commute that takes me past not one but two elementary schools. The moloch markets’ll be plenty pleased with my sacrifice

it’s called noone grew it or ranched it or imported it

What’s that got to do with anything? I ain’t some DIY hippie type. I spend money to get what i need. Money makes stuff appear. Clearly you ain’t ever had any.

Oh. Yeah, totally. Successful violent campaign or successful nonviolent campaign, ill take the nonviolent every time.

The problem is…

No but see what if they did.

And in that case, i would credit the violent movement with the success, and the “nonviolent” movement with giving them an ego saving out.

As a test: I would like to ask this researcher, peacefully, to cut the lib shit.

i visited the foothills once

I have lived all over the state. I know it pretty well. I don’t think you do.

logistics are hard

Yeah. That’s what i said. I didn’t say we would stay healthy, i said they couldn’t starve the people without going hungry themselves. Im sure they could just burn it all. Might not even take two people, with enough gear. It is that season, after all.

chuds

Yeah they own stuff. But i buy my groceries from these peoples’ families, and they arent all cool with this. Also, fuck who owns it, who do you think does the labor?

the panthers didnt

No. But you just kind of ignored everything i said so you could say something technically true and put it where a response to me would go.

aircraft carriers

Don’t get me started.

projecting

So i got you?

I’m saying all their orders to even be deployed in LA are illegal.

Maybe something will change when they’re ordered to live rounds.

supply lines

Look at a map. Talk to the people in all the places you’d have to go through. Maybe if they let this die down, and start it with something other than a police action. But if this goes hot? From fed cops? No. The sierra-nevadas may as well be in afghanistan.

They wont be the hardest place in the country. That’ll be between chicago or appalachia-but they will be a no-go zone for fed troops.

who’s we

True, it wont be universal. I’m even seeing people in OC upset about this though, and if the admin’s lost them, they’ve lost every major foothold with californians. Maybe downtown palo alto, for about five minutes. Maybe san diego, if they skew the demographics with a few aircraft carriers-but theres not much food between there, mexico, and the mountains.

old dudes with small arms

You don’t even know what a maoist ‘people’s war’ even is, and that’s likely the doctrine they’ll start with. You certainly don’t know who the panthers were, or the kinds of people they were. You don’t know what or where you’re talking about.

chuds

Chuds can’t and wont do real work. Not in numbers, anyway.

prison labor

Then the food all burns. Prisoners are busy.

other flavors of slavery

Notoriously productive resilient and efficient with their military resources: Slave States!

Plus, that’ll really help keep the populace complacent. You know where the us military recruits from? You know how overrepresented african americans are in it? They do plantations, they cut off at least half of their troops, with only terminally online white boys to replace them. It’ll be the posters army, and not even the good posters.

You play too many fucking map view strategy games. Go outside, maybe read a book. Or at least play the more complicated map games.

and around

Unless they’re airlifting it all out. In which case it still has to fly over terrain that’s not to their advantage. And we also make the missiles here.

The best option for them would be the port of oakland. Theres lots of shitty tech bros there, but you still see tributes to the best and best dressed mlm’s to ever pick up a rifle, some of whom are, while far past fighting age, still kicking around a dense high tech city-and this would be for their food supply line, so it wouldn’t exactly be possible to starve them out.

owned by

The farms are all staffed by people who hate them. Every single one, not just here but especially here. Even the small/mid sized farmers-and i have talked to them-hate this shit, or are literally beibg chased out of the fields, literally as i type this. The logistics lines are disproportionately worked by those same people.

Maybe they could get corn and wheat.

Or maybe you could get marines to pick apples, if you didnt give a single shit about the morale of your troops, health of your trees, abysmal recruiting numbers, already too-small military…

Not good. Acting on its own self interests, which isn’t always a dure thing.

Those self interests aligning with ours, however, is, an indicator that this is not just an extinction level threat, because there are lots of those where they don’t ever, but a fucking bad one.

Like literally all of them?

Maybe.

Hey, good news about the movie…

Fuck yeah

Okay but no, see, i can just pay more and it’ll be fine. Markets will save me.

There’s no such thing as ‘there just isn’t any of that’.

Okay so I’m going to ignore most of what you said because i already replied to it, but:

I’m not sure they could control the means of production here. A lot of it is in and around areas that arent ideal terrain for fighting on their side.

Okay did you read the rest of what i said?

Yes. Or try to. This is so weird.

Least horrible billionaire.

There are areas and kinds of people who can live off the land, in one way or another. They do exist.

They aren’t the majority or the targets here, but they’re around.

The rest is accurate, but the military really is in the same boat as the rest of us.
