Yes you can. There might be consequences, but that will always be the case. If obeying orders breaks the law, and disobeying orders breaks the law, then you're a criminal either way. Might as well do what you agreed to do when you joined the military: risk your life to defend the constitution.

If the law disagrees, the law is wrong and should be broken. And if that leads to a punishment, just remember that someone is being ordered to punish you, and they can defy those orders too.

I have to assume these guys only take a shower once a month, at most, and only because people keep complaining about how much they stink. And they definitely only wash their hands if they got shit on them.

You know what? Having a large number of trained military personnel (including the fucking marines) be victimised and removed from service by the US government might be a good thing in the long run.

So it's two steps backwards from Lemmy?

I'm guessing it's vegan? And pepper is the main filling?

This weirdly feels like it'd be a good movie, sort of like Dog Day Afternoon. "The One Dollar Bank Heist"

It'd be hilarious if Luigi got healthcare because of that. Especially if it's with UHC.

It kind of IS a meaningful distinction, though. You can get power and influence without seeking it, and you can seek power and influence without having it. Not everyone who has power is genocidal and not everyone who is genocidal has power.

The idea that power corrupts feels like a way for the corrupt to blame something other than themselves for their corruption. They justify their evil deeds by saying "anyone in my position would do the same," ignoring all the people not doing the same. They were always corrupt, but nobody noticed until they had power.

The first time it happened, it wasn't even the state that did it.

Nah, it tells us about the people who seek out power and influence.

Who says "very frightened"? They just say "terrified", which is surprisingly NOT what the infographic recommends! And "very perfect" is just nonsense. So is "very well-to-do", which feels like they worked backwards instead of figuring out what "very wealthy" would be.

These guys need to proofread their own work, I guess.
