    See, you guys are awesome, but when you’ve got your GoPro on in the combat zone, be sure to remind everyone to like and subscribe after every confirmed kill, that’ll really help you monetize your channel.

      It’s true, but I don’t want to be shot in the back like Pretti. Or shot in my car for just being nearby. Which is why the SS Squad exists now, self governance through fear.

      Worse, the entire western world seems determined (EU and UK too) to back that play through profiling/database building on individuals. What is the point of that if not government use against its citizens?

      Why, dear sir, are you allowing it?

        I’m pretty sure people, maybe you, are gonna get shot in the face… oh, they already are. How long until it’s you? Your loved one? Maybe you just catch a stray. Tough tits I guess. Worth it for all that American freedumb.

        Why don’t I? Because I don’t live in the United States anymore, so not my problem. In fact, the faster the United States falls, the faster other countries start getting along without it.

            Yeah I was sorta hoping for, “I’m European and I do protests every weekend,” after that tough guy talk.

            Except we got, “oh I ran away.”

              I’m consistently amazed at the number of people who have the audacity to try and guilt people to just start shooting eachother. I’ve never been more driven to acute violence than when someone is like ‘so when is the revolution starting’, like, motherfucker you start it ya fucken dumbass, you expecting a bunch of ‘2nd amendment types’ to just go throw themselves at the wall of the US milirary?

          I wasn’t asking about the pseudo martial law, I was asking about the encroachment on data and anonymity across the pond. That leads to the same place as the US: government control. It’s just slower and more subtle.

    We know US service men are very reliant on tech to perform. So when they say “warrior” it feels metaphorically.

    Like, “The other soldiers in the war games are picking on us again again.”

    “Oh, don’t you listen to them. You’re my big brave warriors. Now, who wants to meet Jake and Logan?”
