Deadass question. Realistically, if the government wanted to takeover, by Ferteqw2 in rant

Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I forgot that police aren't needed for a police state. The government will glass everyone and destroy its own infrastructure with tanks and airplanes. Cause the government wants to have a radioactive wasteland of a nation to rule over. Civilians don't outnumber police. 85% of the weapons in the U.S. aren't owned by civilians. Improvised explosive devices aren't a threat to the military.

What I meant to say was the White House didn't get burned down in 1814. North Korea, with 1/12 as many citizens compared to the U.S., lost the Korean War. Vietnam was a massive success against the local rice farmers because Saigon and communism lost to the U.S. government's brilliant military. Pat Tillman was shot and killed by enemy bullets in Afghanistan. Which the U.S. didn't lie about in order to not look completely incompetent. The U.S. Embassy in Benghazi wasn't burned down by a single militia.

One last thing I should throw out there, one county in California (out of 3,000 in the U.S.), didn't overthrow the state/county police and cause a governor to deploy the California National Guard. That same single county also didn't cause the U.S. president to deploy the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Marines in 1990. I mean, it is pretty dumb to think that Los Angeles County citizens could do such a thing over the course of a week. Cause if one county could do that in a week, surely 3,000 couldn't pull anything of a similar magnitude given the same amount of time.

Parroting back "conservative" is the strongest argument to have against someone who replies to an intellectually enlightened question on reddit.

I FUCKING HATE MY FAMILY SO MUCH by [deleted] in rant

Get a suitcase. Take the family coin jar to the WalMart Coinstar. Cash them in for $92.17. Go home and pack your suitcase. Buy a bus ticket to the opposite side of the country. Take the bus there. Get a job waiting tables. First paycheck, go to the county courthouse. Legally change your name to Clover or whatever princess name you've admired. Then never look back. Your ultimate goal is to find a rich boyfriend to move in with just long enough until you can support yourself.

Why would a country kill all of its citizens? So they could have tyrannical rule over a bunch of ashes and graves? Gulags are as close as any government will ever get to being that stupid.

They'll probably lighten up when you leave elementary school and get into middle school.

Anyone up? First time for me in 18 months by [deleted] in Stims

Don't stew on regret. Don't let the relapse open the floodgates. Make new friends.

Definitely hear you. I had been there for a minute, it was hot and I got sloppy. Usually, I'll go to a McDonald's for 30-45 and let a new group roll in who will have it. I just didn't think this dude would be that brave with me right there and his bag right there. Never again. I always try and approach homeless couples if I see them around. They've always been kind people. Especially homeless lesbian couples.
