White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sparked a frenzy on Sunday after making a startling admission as to President Donald Trump’s plans for the ongoing U.S.-Israel military siege on Iran.“Mothers out there are worried that we’re going to have a draft, that they’re going to see their sons and...

In a stunning admission, Leavitt told Bartiromo that mandatory conscription – not seen since the Vietnam War – had not been ruled out by her boss.

    Come on, didn’t you hear the language they’re using to describe war, like “double tap” 😉? It’ll be fun, just like a video game. Except when you die it’s permanent.

    Come on! Don’t be a 😺 be a penguin 🐧

    Btw, this is almost definitely an AI rip off of the footprints in the sand poster, right? I know the actual picture of the penguin isn’t, but if you gave AI a prompt to use that image and convey blind faith, loyalty, nationalism and Trump as a savior, what do you think it would generate?

    Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but knowing how propaganda is supposed to work, I can say it definitely caught some part of my own subconscious, and reminded me of iconic Christian pop culture I was surrounded by growing up. If you’re unfamiliar with the poem,

    During the 1980 United States presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan used a variant of “Footprints”, with himself as the human, as the closing lines in an August speech to evangelical leaders in Dallas, Texas. President Reagan used “Footprints” again in a speech at the annual National Prayer Breakfast on 5 February 1981.

    “Stray from the crowd” via conscription into the king’s military. Individualism is selfish. Your path has already been decided and laid out for you. So go protect the profits of the wealthy pedophiles destroying America and shitting on the constitution.

    Don’t think too much about it. This is God’s will. It’s all in the Bible (if you squint).

    You’ll just have to trust us.

      It’s qanon manifest. “Trust the plan” and all liberals are traitors has become literally just the GOP platform at this point.

          It’s horrifying isn’t it?

          I’m torn between wanting full revolution and worrying if that scenario will only cause more death and suffering in the long run…

          I worry that anything short of systemic change to the US’s political and economic systems will simply reset the clock and we will be right back here again before we know it.

          At this point I’m practically an anarchist. Systems of power seem to only beget suffering and exploitation. I don’t know what the answer is…but it’s not this…

            I’m going to get a metric fuckton of down votes for this, BUT “revolution” will never ever ever happen in the United States. The vast majority of Americans are simply too wrapped up in themselves to give a shit.

              I can’t really disagree, but I also can’t give up hope that said turdwafflers might, for lack of a better term…wake up to the reality of what the US has become.

              I know we have a long long way to go, but many of the “oh I really don’t follow politics” people I know have started changing their tune after the shit show that was and is ICE I’m MN.

              That said, I’m from MN so I can’t speak to how it feels on the ground in other states.
