Not necessarily. Plenty of chill religious people and unchill atheists. Russian homophobia, for instance, is generally secular.

  1. The military depends on a supply chain. A general strike will cripple it within weeks.
  2. The US Army is very strong against other conventional armies, but has proven to be awful at unconventional warfare.
  3. The greatest strength of the US Army is its arsenal of bombs and the powerful deterrent of the atom bomb. If the US army bombs US territory, then it is bombing itself. A general strike is unnecessary if the factory is gone. At that point the Civil War will become a war of attrition, and autonomous insurgent cells have an inherent advantage in those.
  4. I expect at least a decent number of soldiers to mutiny or desert.

Corporate pandering is an index for acceptance, but not acceptance itself. It is, as you said, a flag. The dislike stems for it being disingenuous. Still, it is nice having a barometer.

I had to hold up the speaker to my ear, but I heard it now. Unholy crap.

Sorry, but I can't see it. What are the signs?

As I have said when replying to another fellow, the use of anon is still baffling here.

State Farm is mutually-owned. I heard it still sucks, but can't verify that.

I think it more so derives from the same place Q derives from rather than deriving from Q himself.

Chanboard users refer to each other as anons. I am still somewhat confused, as the conservative would presumably refer to op disparagingly as a "blue[British word for ciggie]" as opposed to "blueanon", seeing as how "anon" has connotations of comradery. This is further compounded by the fact that we have usernames. We're not anonymous. We're pseudononymous.

If I had to guess, this is due to moderation preventing the use of slurs in regular speech in most regions of Lemmy.
