    I would be pissed off if I was a National Guard soldier. Their incomes have dropped considerably for the BS orders to assist the SS/NKVD.

    I don’t even know what we’re doing as a country at this point. My rent has almost tripled in ten years and we’re focused on doing this shit. I’ve been homeless before, I guess I’ll get to try what it’s like to be homeless ✨in a fascist state✨

      If it makes you feel any better, they don’t really have any idea what they are doing, either. Bunch of idiots in control of a giant machine they can’t even begin to comprehend. So it is natural for we mere cogs with >3 functioning neurons to be befuddled.

        Be slow, make mistakes, ask questions incessantly. You can actually do more damage to an organization by being a bad worker than by quitting and being replaced by someone that’s at all competent.

        EDIT: https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

        But, you do have to be careful. If completing the paperwork is a morally bad act, it remains so even if it takes you 3 days instead of 30 minutes, and even if no one else ever knows, you will always have to live with yourself. There’s a line from Schindler’s list about wanting to guarantee that none of the shells the factory would ever fire; he wanted them ALL to be duds.

    The Pentagon has continued to insist that it is critical that troops do ICE’s scutwork. “This ongoing support, provided in response to a May 9, 2025 request for assistance from the Department of Homeland Security includes case management, transportation and logistical support, and clerical support for the in- and out-processing of illegal aliens at ICE detention facilities,”

    So ICE is going to handle disappearing people, and then the military is going to be in charge of herding them into the concentration camps.

    It’s a proud day for America, hmm?

        It’s a benign way to attach them legally to the effort. The next step of the slippery slope is to have them act defensively to protect ice agents, but then go back to their administrative duties.

    This is where the grit in the gear works comes into play. Oops, filed out the wrong form? Oh no, I misspelled their name. Only Page 2 of 4?

    Adhere to every single bureaucratic policy till it hurts. Do it slow. Make small enough mistakes that would mean the work has to be done again.

    Do your job, but just poorly enough to slow this shit down. Make fascism inefficient.

    National Guard peeps who actually give a shit about your country: fill that peperwork with as many clerical errors as you possibly can. Best case, you give a legal defense team ammo to have a case dismissed. Worst case, you get chewed out. You been chewed out before…

            “Ha ha ha”? “awkward”? You’re missing the point. Falsifications on documents can have legal utility. That could be the difference between someone getting checked into a fucking concentration camp vs walking free. Even if it’s audited and flagged for correction, that’s still gumming up the system.

            Would larger acts of resistance be better? Fuck yeah. The Oath of Enlistment (and similar oaths like commissioned officer, federal employee, etc) literally compels those who took it to engage Trump the way they do any other enemy of the US / threat to the constitution. But have they? No. They appear to have the same lack of spine as the rest of us, you and I included. But are there smaller steps of resistance that can be taken by that group? Yes. You and I included. Whatever it is you’re able to do to hinder the Nazi infestation plaguing our country, fucking do it. If it seems small and insignificant, do it anyway. It’s better than nothing, and that shit adds up.

              Oh snap! Some of those people getting sent to fucking die in the desert might have a legal claim to getting released?!?!?! you know, assuming the trump admin ever even bothers to look for their body.

              That could be the difference between someone getting checked into a fucking concentration camp vs walking free.

              Look… I love a “Germans love their paperwork” joke as much as anybody. NOBODY was ever turned away from a concentration camp after they were put on the train because it wasn’t clear if their name was Goldstein or Holdstein. Just like the republicans won’t care if it is Joe Gonzalez from Hollywood California or Joe Gonzales from Hollywood Florida.

              Fuck yeah. The Oath of Enlistment (and similar oaths like commissioned officer, federal employee, etc) literally compels those who took it to engage Trump the way they do any other enemy of the US / threat to the constitution. But have they? No.

              Then they are fucking complicit. But hey, at the Seattle Trials I am sure a bunch of them will be glad to say “I was just following orders”.

              But are there smaller steps of resistance that can be taken by that group?

              And “Tee hee hee. mess up the paperwork but not too much” ain’t fucking it. And pretending it is is just refusing to acknowledge the reality of what is going on AND giving the “just following orders” jackasses any cover at all.

              If it seems small and insignificant, do it anyway. It’s better than nothing, and that shit adds up.

              No. Messing up the paperwork of people being sent to an oubliette to die does not “add up”. If anything, it contributes to the actual goal.

        Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I’ll be very unhappy.

        It is important that even if you stay on in order to sabotage, that you still do not commit any morally bad acts. NONE of your paperwork should ever pass muster.

    E4 mafia:

    • didn’t hear them order using any particular font
    • didn’t hear them order to use English on the paperwork
    • didn’t hear them order to complete it accurately
    • didn’t hear them order to complete it correctly
    • didn’t hear them define what “paperwork” means in the context of this order
    • didn’t hear them define what “do” means in the context of this order
    • didn’t hear them say we shouldn’t put the ICE in the mess hall walk-in and lock it behind them so it doesn’t thaw out

    I know it’s probably over-optimistic, but I do hope there’s a LOT of malicious compliance fucky-fuck games going on to stall the fascists.
