@Check_Six @Microinteracti1 Odd comment. Political views do not determine who may own a gun.

🇺🇸 The Gun People Who Can’t Spot a Tyrant
America is, when you think about it, absolutely magnificent in its absurdity.
Here is a country so profoundly committed to the idea of armed resistance against government overreach that it wrote the whole thing down in its founding document.
The Second Amendment. Sacred text. Non-negotiable.
The entire philosophical premise being: we the people shall remain armed, so that should any future government attempt to seize illegitimate power, we can stop them.
Remarkable foresight, really.
There is, however, one rather catastrophic design flaw in this otherwise bold constitutional experiment. It assumed the people clutching the rifles would actually recognize tyranny when it walked through the front door, wiped its feet on the Constitution, and sat down in the Oval Office.
They do not.
It turns out you can dismantle democratic institutions in plain sight, in real time, on television, and roughly half the population will respond by eating toast. Some bacon, perhaps. A scroll through Instagram. Maybe a bit of outrage about something a liberal said in 2025.
The checks are gone. The balances, wobbling. Career officials purged. Courts packed. The press called enemies of the state. Federal prosecutors weaponized. And the proud defenders of liberty, the people who will fight you to the death over a bump stock, are furious about exactly none of it.
Because nobody told them what authoritarianism actually looks like in the early stages. It doesn’t arrive in a tank. It arrives in a suit, with a slogan, and it’s on your side, and it’s very mean to the people you already didn’t like.
So they sit there. Chewing. Scrolling. Completely unaware that the country they are willing to die for has already, quietly, become a rather different country entirely.
The guns, I should note, remain absolutely fine.

@DTrickel1 @OJoelsen Umm, the US has had troops on Greenland for years. Were they ignored too?

@OJoelsen Great interview and answer. Like it or not. He is correct.

@Microinteracti1 @LevHavryliv Everything that Guy said is bullshit. Thank you very much.

Greenland has been on the map since roughly the year 982, when a Norwegian called Erik the Red sailed there and named it. The Vikings. Not Donald Trump. Vikings with axes and no central heating.
It is the largest island on Earth. It appears on every atlas ever printed, every globe ever made, every satellite image ever taken. NASA photographs it from space on a daily basis. It has its own government, its own flag, its own capital city and its own deeply held opinion about not being owned by anyone in a red baseball cap.
The United States Air Force has had a base at Thule since 1951. Which means American military personnel have been eating terrible food and freezing their bits off on Greenland for 74 years, apparently without telling Governor Landry.
And yet here stands Jeff Landry, Governor of Louisiana, a man elected by actual human beings to run an actual American state, explaining to a Danish television crew that Greenland did not exist until 2025.
This is the intellectual foundation of the most aggressive territorial land grab attempted by a Western democracy since the Second World War. Not strategic doctrine. Not legal argument. Not geopolitical necessity. A governor who apparently believes the world’s largest island was invented by a property developer from Queens.
They want to take Greenland. They cannot find Greenland.

Governor Landry: “–I found out that Greenland wasn’t on the map until Donald Trump put it on the map.” —DR

@suzost @travelingflying @speakup_real You wouldn’t recognise a communist if they punched you on the nose. Silly tart 🤦🏻♂️

@travelingflying @speakup_real UK is going full communism!

@MichaelTakeMP What an absurd statement.
Let's, for a moment, accept her deeply troubling functionalist worldview & economic policy position.
Her tactical economic incompetence alone is enough to render your statement laughable.

@BladeoftheS I’m sure I’ve seen something looking like him in a starwara film or hitchhikers guide 🤷♂️

@Jenny_1884 Apart from nature programmes, what's he ever done?

@Jenny_1884 No, there’s plenty more ignorant, poisonous dipshits like you. Many of them commenting on this spiteful post 🤷♂️

@Check_Six A thumbs up for you to share with other couple that follow you.

@MikeBales You’re entitled to your opinions, just not your own facts. The problem is you and your ilk voted in a convicted felon, liar, rapist and paedophile who started a war affecting the whole world and then bleated when no one wanted to join in 🤷♂️

Lol. Apparently the consensus is “get out the way, the car driver has to get through”. Although it’s difficult to reverse on a bicycle when fully loaded up with three kids on a trailer.

Apparently this was "careless cycling" according to plod, and I got a letter through the post. It beggars belief sometimes. 🤷♂️
