But hey folk, remember to not criticize the us military and national guard for doing this. They are Just Following Orders and doing otherwise could lead to actual consequences for them!
And on a more personal/selfish note: This… puts a bit of a wrench into my plans to visit some friends out in Chicago at the end of the month…
Letting them continue to do this with no resistance leads to actual consequences for all of us. I don’t know what the right answer here is, but it’s certainly not to sit idly by and watch it happen.
It is to, bare minimum, villify the military like the strong arm of fascism it is.
If some of those soldiers want to fucking protect the country, they are more than welcome to and we will glaze them to hell and back. But, until they grow a spine, they are monsters and should yearn for the days of the Vietnam War.
If you see jackboots on the street? Berate them. Boarding early for a flight? Ask them how they feel being pawns of ICE. Parked in the military ID spots at the hardware store? Hmm, that looks a lot like a tesla to me…
Or maybe, just maybe, everyone communicates differently and sarcasm is hard to portray in written communication. Go eat some and chill a minute. I’ve heard plenty of people say the exact same thing you just said and did not mean it as sarcasm, which makes it even harder to tell.
You could just as easily have said, “Hey, I’m having a hard time trying to determine if you’re being sarcastic, could you please clarify?” and then waited for response to decide to include the bit about Nazis in you reply.

That’s… eh… really weird. America, your problems aren’t new.
As an American, I have never seen Military ID parking spots. Don’t know where that guy is from.
There are “Veteran Parking Only” signs in a section of the parking lot at a Home Depot in Bakersfield, California.
Figures it would be Bakersfield
Yup. Kern County didn’t get the nickname “Kerntucky” for no reason.
If you’re being sarcastic it isn’t clear. “Just following orders” is never an excuse. The Nazis tried to use that one.
I am trying to say this as politely as possible:
if that wasn’t clearly sarcasm then you need to desperately work on your reading comprehension.

You are what ruined Reddit. You, personally.

Reading is hard, huh?
I would imagine for LD, dyslexic, or really tired, yes.
