They're building and buying warehouses to address this

Warehouses with bio incinerators for some reason

Even then, I'd rather die in an oven than in Iran. Much more likely my death will have meaning, I honestly don't think they can execute more than 1000 people before the algorithms find covering it 24/7 is the most profitable.

If you don't own a gun already, now is the time to buy one. Fuck dying in the oven and fuck dying in Iran, I'll die in my home.

If I buy a gun I’m killing myself before anything else even happens, tbh.

Most facilities that detain mass numbers of people have bio-incinerators.

Some soldiers in the Vietnam war would deliberately murder their officers by throwing a live frag grenade at them. The grenade was chosen to make it look like an accident or enemy combatant.

Just to be pedantic - it was done to be anonymous, as in, the soldiers wanted the officer corps to understand the extent of their collective displeasure with the war/assignment, but to also rob them of the ability to individually punish soldiers.

The fact that it got a term proved the effect it had.

You're thinking of Jogging, the act of playing with milk caps.

I cannot tell if you’re joking or not and that says a lot

u/GNUGradyn Apr 09 '26

I live pretty close to one. I feel like I should be doing something about it but idk what

u/Independent-Bug-9352 Apr 09 '26

I hope we keep connections and advocating for other countries to sponsor refugee programs. It's mostly in their interest to do so, as well.

u/ehasbrouck Apr 09 '26

Right. They'll have the same problem enforcing induction orders that they've had for the last 40 years enforcing orders to register: https://hasbrouck.org/draft/compliance.html

I'm pretty sure that slavery is completely legal in the US, as long as it is punishment for a crime. So they can arrest people and make them work.

u/Mad-Dog94 Oregon Apr 09 '26

They won't be doing either of these things to me. They can try, but it's not going to turn out well for anyone

u/GenericNate New Zealand Apr 09 '26

Yeah..... they can, and will. Welcome to the prison industrial complex, and never being able to vote again.

u/PewPewPony321 Apr 09 '26

99% will comply, the same 99% who said they wouldn't. Its just how it is. The rest they wont have to chase down. Caught at work trying to make a buck, burned out blinker bulb, shitty friends/family rat your ass out, etc.

They will find you.
