  • And DC is designed to quell demonstrations, protests, and absolutely riots. It’s one of the few planned cities in America, and they’ve thought every avenue through in terms of barriers and crowd control. The National Guard has plans upon plans.

    The most serious threat to power in this country would be the types of activities that GOT us this country, and they’ve long known that.

    I don’t want to discourage anyone but they’d have little problem turning machine guns on us all, and what would happen? The rest of America would see it on the news and social media, and go “oh God,” and then cook dinner and go to work the next day, in shock no doubt, but… well we have had national shocks before and life kept going.

    I don’t see a way through unless the military itself were to reject the authority at the top and turn on them.

    To me the moral of this story is, you can be a cop who knows a law needs reworking, but instead of using your station and your voice to change it, you should just selectively enforce it in your town, and then let people catch whatever consequences after you retire because really, fuck everyone but you.

    Anne Rice’s vampires were different from others. Their skin and hair would become magically perfect, I don’t even think Claudia had curly hair as a mortal, the “spirit” that inhabited all vampires wanted them to be goddamn beautiful. Also the male vampires had perpetual erections, but their rapturous pleasure of all the other senses made sex impossible to feel, no desire beyond also wanting beautiful things. Anne Rice was a bit weird. And I’m not even getting into the Sleeping Beauty series, I can’t really describe that without getting into CSAM.

    Mods like Ada will destroy Lemmy in general.

    Edit: I’ll elaborate. Ada will not only ban you if you hurt their feelings, they’ll also ban you across several other communities even if you’ve never posted in them. That’s absurd. Must have onion-thin skin. Who acts like that?
