  • The explosive Daily Mail report found that the administration’s $50,000 signing bonus attracted droves of unqualified recruits — high school grads who can “barely read or write,” overweight candidates with doctor’s notes saying they’re unfit, and even applicants with pending criminal charges.

    The report exposed how Immigration and Customs Enforcement took a blowtorch to hiring standards, with one Department of Homeland Security official blasting: “We have people failing open-book tests and we have folks that can barely read or write English.”

  • You’ve really gotta get your numbers right. Due to the structure of American democracy, the President is not the one who gets more than half the votes, nor the one who even gets the most popular votes necessarily. If you think 1 out of 2 American adults is a Trump supporter, you’re walking around thinking you have a fraction of the allies you do, which is a win for the regime.












  • This is a good answer and I would just like to mention the democratic / assembly nature of communism. If you have an assembly where the community has to decide “who will do this tough / dangerous job?” and someone steps up to do it, they will get the respect of the community (and probably some sexual interest from the sex(es) of their choice tbh). The human-nature aspect is important, as we are social animals. We already have this going on already, like why do game crackers and pirate groups do what they do, at significant personal danger? Reputation, among other things. That goes back to the warez scene and even to phreakers and whoever else was hacking before them.

    It could also be that a certain individual enjoys the danger or difficulty of the job.
