  • That was much later. Up until that point, Röhm, the General of the SA at the time, was a “constitutional loyalist” who didn’t help or hurt Hitler.

    Then Hitler made up a conspiracy that Röhm and about 300 of his loyalists were going to commit a “coup”, and staged a overthrow of the German Military during Röhm’s Honeymoon, a day or two after he got married.

    Of course, the rest of the German people were ok with that, because he outed Röhm as gay, and had already done well to turn the people against Homosexuals in the country. That combined with the lie that Röhm was about to depose Hitler, and he succeeded in a flawless execution of 300 top military leaders to seize complete control of all facets of German operations. Presidency from Hindenburg, Military from Röhm, and his Chancellorship he got at the voting booth.

    That’s all to say I have no faith in our military preventing a Fascist dictatorship from asserting control over our country.

    At no point in history has that seemingly happened. I would not expect us to set the curve.














  • You understand that with a super-majority in congress, we get to make the rules, right? Companies can only do what is legal in the countries they operate in.

    If we decide to take 90% of the money from fossil fuel companies and divert them to clean energy, reduce our DOD spending by 50% and funnel it into scientific research, NASA, etc. then we have a shot.

    We are the people, and the government is intended to be a reflection of that. Not the gerrymandered, voter suppressed state it’s in today.
