Oh, he actually posted it

That is 100% in character for MAGA: at the same time they screech "dOn'T cAlL uS nAzIs" while also saying "Hitler did many good things"

The only good thing Hitler did was kill Hitler.
- True, but counterpoint: he also killed the guy who killed Hitler
"You just people called everyone a Nazi" while lining up the concentration camps
- 1200 missing from “Alligator Auschwitz.” We are at death camp stage.
- “Look what you made me do!”

"I voted for Mr. Hitler because he'd be good for the economy. I didn't go in for all that Jew-killing stuff. You can't blame that on me." - German citizen, 1946
- Until Hitler.. self-hitlered.., most Germans had no idea they even had concentration camps or that genocide was being done in their name. They thought they were winning the war, and they saw the infrastructure/economic improvements and thought Hitler was doing a great job. One would hope everything being actively video recorded/ reported this time would make a difference but, if my experience with my MAGA family is indicative of what's happening with the rest of the MAGAts, they're just as ignorant. I forced my fiance's newsmax-addicted grandma to watch a video of ICE beating a woman, in front of her small child, while they were kidnapping her husband, and Mema hasn't said shit about politics since. She was genuinely shocked.

So if you're one of those generals, do you recite the new oath or do you allow them to purge everyone loyal to the Constitution?

Itd be nice if they faked the bad oath to secretly protect the constitution.
- This is actually a tactic listed in the official CIA “Simple Sabotage” handbook. Basically, if you can’t overtly sabotage things by blowing them up while maintaining your cover, work to sabotage things from inside instead.
  Get a job in middle management, and do everything in your power to live up to the term “middle manglement”. Do your job as poorly as possible while still maintaining plausible deniability. Make it difficult for people around you to do their jobs. Give other managers bad info. Sow division via gossip. Divert employees towards busy work so they can’t focus on important tasks. Waste budgets. Ensure deadlines get missed, while demanding unreasonable deadlines for other teams. Et cetera…
  And I can guarantee that generals will be well aware of this fact. Plenty of them got into their spots by being war dogs, but they won’t be stupid.
- Just thinking out loud here.
  Faking it also give them power. If all the generals go in an give an oath to the furher, they don't all have to mean it for it to have far reaching effects.
  But if you're not going to take the oath, I feel like you have to have a real plan for resistance beyond just get escorted... out.
  It doesn't help that our government was founded with a core principle of the military being subservient to a civilian command.
  These are smart people entrusted with the most powerful military in history. If anyone can find a strategy to prevent the Fourth Reich, it's them.
- I feel like that's probably the logic of a lot of Nazi generals who just you know continued to be Nazi generals. As in just self justification.
- 👀🤞
If you're one of those generals, you have an oath to the Constitution so you protect the Constitution with the same dedication as if you were on a battlefield. Soldiers don't change team midway. Even amateur athletes don't do that.
- If you rise to the rank of general, you're more politician than soldier though, and politicians change teams all the time
Last year I heard a talk by retired Admiral Stravidis, who among other things was supreme commander of NATO for a few years. He pointed out that by the time somebody makes the rank of General or Admiral they will have sworn that oath a bunch of times. They renew that oath each time they are promoted etc. They also would have administered that oath to countless other soldiers & sailors over the years.
Fire all the generals and admirals, and guess what? They are replaced by junior officers who have repeated the oath to the US Constitution almost as many times. There’s always the chance that some may decide to bend the knee to Trump, but there are significantly more that likely won’t.
Here’s how this goes: they take any other oath instead of the one they already took, TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION FROM ENEMIES DOMESTIC, we kill them.
It’s that simple. This clownfuck administration has been fucking around for nine months. How bad do they want to find out.
- Cool story bro.

Generals gathered in their masses 🎶

St. Ozz

Goodness, this is fake right? Please?

This is happening. There is NO waiting it out and shit changes. MAGA destroyed the United States of America. You get that, right?
You may go to work tomorrow but it won’t be under a democratic republic.
- LOL! Nah. Everyone will vote against the Republicans in 2026 and everything will go back to normal, don’t you know.
- Tomorrow is Sunday
- Well, I won't work tomorrow. But on Monday it will be under a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy.
Nope

So is this in response to the largest “secret” general meeting in US history that took place a few days ago?

You are misinformed. The meeting was announced a few days ago and is scheduled for next week.
- Ok, cool. So I didn’t miss it.

Obviously no good can come of this domestically, but since all the Generals will be there instead of doing their jobs, it would also be a window of opportunity for China to invade Taiwan.

Yeah. Unless of course it's not the 18th century and it no longer matters where a General is physically located.
- It always matters, especially with the increasing importance of Electromagnetic warfare capabilities.
Yeah, that's not how war works.

Actually can't tell if this is satire.

(Pls tell me this is photoshop)

It's real but articles I've found seem to assume he was being sarcastic. I didn't see anywhere that he declared it so, it just seems to be an assumption based on "he couldn't possibly have meant that"
- Is there another interpretation of this that isn’t sarcastic?
  Does anybody actually read this and think he meant, “wow, that is a cool story?”
  That said, the two ways I come up with to interpret a sarcastic comment here are:
  “Sounds like bullshit. “. Which is plausible in this post facts era I suppose.
  Or
  “What does this have to do with us?” Which would sure help me sleep at night if I didn’t know exactly what it has to do with us, but afaik, Creepy Pete had called such a meeting for thus far unknown purposes.

No fucking way. No fucking way.

No one will convince me this is real.

this is real.
this is really happening.

- That sounds like a planned leak to find a leader or to throw off people who might be inclined to protest.
With all due respect, that's almost as annoying as the fact that it's actually happening.
Crazy, innit.
