Trump says he’ll set up an anti-woke task force in US military to monitor generals
2 years ago by Rapidcreek to c/politics
This working out great for the Russian military could be the reason behind the plan.
Tell me how this isn’t fascism again ?
Cause when Republicans do the fascism, it's not fascism, it's just conservative values.

It's only called fascism when it's from the fascist region. Otherwise, it's sparkling conservatism.
I am interested to see their written definition of "woke".
Some conservative tried explaining it and I recall she basically settled it being defined as critical thinking.
Didn't DeSantis (or his lawyer anyway) define it as 'knowing there are systemic injustices and wanting to address them' or something like it? I found it funny when I read that. Back when I was still on reddit, there was of course a huge SelfAwarewolves post about it.
Anti woke means you don't want to address them so you aren't woke.
Perception isn't enough
Anti woke means you want to perpetuate systemic injustices by this definition.
A dystopian nanny state. www.vote.gov
If it's an Anti-woke uniform I imagine it'll have a vinyl window over the crotch so everyone can see that you're going into the bathroom that matches your genitalia. And of course it'll have a flame thrower so you can burn all the books. You'll probably need the skin color chart from Family Guy; better add grey and green on there to identify the extra-terrestrial aliens. Don't forget your shoes must have heels because all the best Anti-woke crusaders wear heels!
Hmm, what else...
How dare you. They'll also be sexist and homophobic. And xenophobic. And aporophobic. And transphobic.
You don't have enough of that.
I didn't use to be able to decode narcissism at a glance, but basically he's mad that Mad Dog Mattis and his colleagues didn't bend the knee.
Honestly I have never been so accepting of the armed forces as when Mattis openly shunned Trump.
Not just Mattis. He tried to order the active duty military to go after protestors in D.C. They reminded him of their oath and the Posse Comitatus Act. At volume. In the Oval Office. Then they released a force wide memo reminding everyone their oath was to the Constitution, not the President.
He's never forgiven the military for that.
Like when under Arab spring the Egyptian politicians tried to get the military involved to stop the protests, and got back (paraphrased)
"Our primary job is to protect the Egyptian people from violence. You really don't want us involved in this"
Yes. Despite all my deep resentments about our war-like ways, they earned a measure of respect for that.
The military has a lot of bad things. But they are loyal to their own moral code. For an organization mostly made of people who wandered in from the street desperate for money or glory, I think that's pretty neat.
That's a line they actually use. They usually pair it with pictures of combat soldiers partying in My Little Pony costumes.
They forget that those same guys would annihilate their backwoods militia before lunch if it came down to a fight.
You mean political officers? Like we see on the tvs in all Russia subs...
I read it that way too..... honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least if he did say genitals
Operation Generals Genital General Inspection for Operations is a go.
"Maybe if I'm an even bigger, sadder bitch, then they'll all tell me how great I am."
I don't know why you need a military task force to monitor genitals
Because there are a lot of people obsessed with other people's genitals who are currently unemployed. Find the job you love.
Thats straight out of the communist playbook with political commissars. Think Russia just reinstated that?
He wants to have the military be controlled on his every whim. Expect those that don't comply (and didn't in 2020) to be labed as woke and removed.
I hope by that point if that happens I know our armed men and women have been trained to not miss.....
They are responsible for protecting and serving the US constitution at all costs....
Let me guess. D.O.G.E - Department of General Endorsement.
Grok. Generate an AI picture of Trenchcoat Musk with 50% less gut.
If you ask for repeatedly less gut, will it cut a person in half?
Depends if the gut growth can pace the trimming algorithm.
well, now i'm envisioning an image of a person guzzling something extremely caloric while the algorithm fights the gut increase lol
He wants to fire the military and replace it with loyalists. Can't coup without a willing military. He gets in, that move will be paramount.
Just another of his blunders, that's a move you wouldn't announce ahead of time.
This general has a 3rd cousin who's friends with a gay person. He's woke by association! The whole bloodline is woke! You're fired!
Is this just him saying he wants to reinstate DADT, but with extra steps?
The US military has specifically benefited from diversity and inclusivity programs in recent years. The actual size of the US military force is comparatively smaller than in the past, and being more inclusive has benefited the institution in the concrete way of just having a larger number of potential enlistees to pull from.
I'm all for reducing the size of the US military, but to be clear that's the only effect this will have.
No.
It’s private bone spurs being big tough guy for the MAGATs. It means nothing, it is nothing, but if everything goes to fucking shit again one of his evil toadies might try some ignorant loyalty-test bullshit to fuck up the military, yeah.
ohh yea that sounds awesome /s

Great plan… use diversity training as a tool to identify generals who might not be loyal, purge them and put stooges in place. This has worked out really well for Russias military.
