    1. Is this any different from Trump giving speeches to CEOs of successful businesses around the world?

    2. A Fox News host / podcaster that’s completely unqualified for his position speaking to qualified people like they are children.

      To the authoritarian, the aesthetics of power are all-important, even more important than *actual* vehicles of power. It is a kind of sympathetic magic: Put up a bunch of Roman columns and hope they will bless you with the power of Rome. Put a Punisher skull decal on your cop car in the hope it will give you the power of vengeance. And put your soldiers in snappy jackboots in the hopes they will turn obedient to your anti-democratic goals. Authoritarians invoke power symbolically, even at the expense of systems that would actually give them power, because they are too dumb and lazy to put in the work of building power through systems. They want you to give them your power, so they insist on performing the theater of pretending they are powerful.

      Just really hoping that the Generals are getting on their burner phones to each other tonight and saying „enough’s enough“.

      Who will be America’s Oliver Cromwell?

      it’s tiring to see fat troops. If only ICE took this approach then no more ICE

      I guess that is the next step, to replace the generals with nonsense yes men.

    7. *Man who can’t handle an axe, a skateboard, or a Signals chat; lecturing senior decorated officers on being the right weight and height.*

    8. Perhaps Hugo Boss will be contracted to provide some snappy new uniforms to make them look more like the soldiers he wants them to be.

    9. Fascism is, ultimately, a political movement for shallow dummies, so it’s very concerned with this kind of aesthetics. They hear „military strength“ and think „big men with big muscles!“, like a baby would.

      Someone brought up in a prior article that this was a CPAC speech and photo op for Petey. Pushing the warrior ethos as he sees it since it’s all about aesthetics not reality

    11. A lesson in bufoonery. Brought to you by the good people of the Unired States. That was embarrassing. In a room full of serious men and women, they put on a clown show.

    12. „No overweight generals.“

      I prefer my military leaders focus on strategy and tactics, not deadlifts.

      I finally understand what crypto bros mean when they call someone a „beta“.

      Hey lovely people of the USA, have you noticed there’s something wrong with your government? Seriously, have you watched the UN speech, or the speech to your military leadership? What is happening? Is this freaking you out as much as it is everyone who is watching this from far away? Because it looks a bit divorced from reality yeah?

    15. Most of the brass voted for this shit. They deserve the ridicule from their DUI hire and if they should decide to start upholding the Constitution and stop being trumps personal cock holster

    16. The fact that Maga people can’t see through this performative, ego boosting, ridiculous acting bullshit is just mind-boggling

      Loser shit or not if he orders the military to open fire on American people, the military will blow Americans away without hesitation. The military is not a free thinking optional organisation. There are no outriders. There is no debate. They follow orders. Get real how the military works.  

    18. Hegseth’s speech should have been an email and Trump’s should have started impeachment proceedings.
