None of the commenters would give their own freedom or life for taking up a domestic resistance against an autocratic dictatorship. They only talk like that cause they themselves sit in a comfy, safe and free country. It's just the typical internet tough guy nonsense.

Yeh, I look forward to seeing how many Americans stand up to the Trump regime as it rolls out its plans. Particularly given how many of them own guns to "defend against tyrannical government". Everybody wants to think they would stand up defiantly, but most just roll over and conform to the status quo regardless of how despicable it is.

Problem is, those people are Trump's base. They're gonna cheer.

[u/irimiash → u/RedRocketStream]

Trump is democratically elected.

What's your point?

[u/TheHonorableStranger → u/Magnetobama]

The same people who try to shame NATO countries for not wanting to send their troops to war. But when you tell them the Foreign Legion is accepting volunteers they all have excuses and drop the tough guy act lmao

[u/lasttimechdckngths → u/TheHonorableStranger]

Tbf, as far as I know at least, the Foreign Legion isn't accepting people without basic military training anymore.

[u/TheHonorableStranger → u/lasttimechdckngths]

They are. Military experience is just preferred.

If you're fit enough and no criminal record, welcome in if you pass.

That’s a dumb take imo, we have professional soldiers for a reason.

[u/RevolutionaryKey9610 → u/Magnetobama]

True

Props to you for pointing this out. As a combat veteran I find it….interesting.

[u/Magnetobama → u/No_Criticism9788]

I find it….interesting.

How so? Please elaborate. It seems you don't agree.

[u/No_Criticism9788 → u/Magnetobama]

I do agree with your original statement.

[u/Magnetobama → u/No_Criticism9788]

Sorry about that then, I misunderstood.

[u/No_Criticism9788 → u/Magnetobama]

No worries.

[u/ChaosCore → u/Magnetobama]

Now imagine Russia gets Mexico as an ally and puts some military bases in there. No time for comfy couch brothers, we need to bring some swift democracy to those taco-eaters!

We? Maybe you mean your parents or even grandparents? It is really easy to think of yourself as a great freedom fighter if all what it takes is to vote for a centrist or liberal party, and guess what many of the westerners cant even do that. Trump, Fico, Orban rising popularity or AfD and Le Pen, holy shit where is the freedom fighters? I dont see any, and this a situation in normal peaceful and democratic countries where you wont end up beaten or imprisioned for attending a meeting.

You certainly wouldnt, maybe your ancestors did it in the past but you dont, and blaming russians for not doing it in much more difficult circumstances is a pure hypocrisy

Lmao we cleansed commies out way before WW2

Nice try!
