Which services? isn't it similar to matrix?

Isn't it decentralized?

Nobody can do shit about it anyways so they are going to do it for whatever reason. Red and blue party just won elections and it's going to win again in 4 years, government gonna do whatever they want.

I believe the lack of footage from gaza and the censorship of the press is doing a good job at keeping public opinion controlled. If pictures of dead kids would be on the news daily you will see a public outrage.

because I had my idea from a dream I had last night. Not the most original image, but it was fun to try and reproduce something from a dream.

Amazing man, the image is beautiful

Serious information should also not be spread through memes. Lemmy homes are always filled with shitposts, try to upvote more serious content and less memes.

In the west, you should expect to find the border guard. They are capable of checking databases and patrolling in nature, but aren’t heavily armed.

In this video you can see soldiers patrolling the borders with rifles and dogs and using drones to scan the area, what's your definition of heavily armed? They look heavily armed enough to me.

And tens of thousands of guys have taken leave on their own, despite anything the border guard can do. If one doesn’t like the draft, one hikes out via the Carpathian mountains.

I hope that's true, according to wikipedia half of the people trying to escape are getting caught

"Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, around 650,000 military-aged men have left the country. According to Ukrainian authorities, as of November 2023, around 20,000 people had been caught while trying to cross the border illegally since February 2022, and another 20,000 successful crossings were recorded between February 2022 and 31 August 2023 according to a BBC Eye Investigation."

Malatesta wrote multiple times on the subject.

Those are realistic military duties in war time. Every military practises them. Where do you find a fault?

Where do i find a fault in conducting vehicle inspections and riot control at peace time, from an organization with a shady past involving false flag operations, psychological warfare and assassinations aimed at delegitimize left-wing parties.

Dunno buddy let me keep thinking

An example from real life: the Ukrainian military has checkpoints on roads near the frontline. Moving with a vehicle, you’d expect to show papers, say a few words and maybe even show transported goods. The purpose? Finding reconnaisance / sabotage groups, which every competent enemy is expected to send. If an opponent doesn’t send recon or saboteurs, they are fools. If a military doesn’t learn how to deter those, they’re fools.

The ukrainian military also have checkpoints in the west border to make sure any male between 18 and 60 doesn't leave the country so that they can be forced into war.

How does one learn? After dry reading in a classroom: one holds an excercise. There’s a home team and an opposing team. The home team checks, the opposing team infiltrates. Both teams report what they achieved, results get compared. If the blue team found the “saboteurs”, good. If the red team “blew up” all bridges and pipelines in the area, people think hard about what they did wrong. If they don’t practise, they don’t get to think hard.

To me this sound like military rhetoric coming from a military man. You self defined yourself as being a moderately honest anarchist, i suggest you to keep doing your anarchist readings and re-read the works of Emma Goldman and Errico Malatesta.

It is currently very busy doing a real job

Yes i'm sure they are doing a very busy job like they were in their tainted history (false flag operations to delegitimize left-wing parties in Western European countries)

If it oversteps

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Response

"Several of the operations were along the coast in the borders between sea and land, and together with roads and populated areas. Surveillance, patrols, road control posts, vehicle inspection, control of air space, minesweeping, evacuation of civilians, and riot control were important part of the exercise."

"According to several Western European researchers, the operation involved the use of assassination, psychological warfare, and false flag operations to delegitimize left-wing parties in Western European countries, and even went so far as to support anti-communist militias and right-wing terrorism as they tortured communists and assassinated them, such as Eduardo Mondlane in 1969"

Based on this conclude what you want about the NATO of today.

Image being under international sanctions and not being able to leave the country you happen to be born in. According to many lemmy users this person shouldn't be able to leave and should march into the white house demanding trump resignations.
