I think strategically the best thing the feds could do is back off for two weeks. Does anyone believe these convoys have enough supplies to keep for more than 48 hours?

Failing that keep this up until November. We know these guys won’t mail in ballot.

I mean, their purpose is to cost the US and Mexico vast sums of money until they get their way. Starving them out is their best case scenario.

A group of six patriot-world influencers, including Kim Yeater, who runs a self-empowerment self-help group and an anti-voter fraud group, started organizing the convoy around a month ago. “God’s army is rising up,” she said on the planning call. “We all have been chosen for this time.”

Religion influencing the state is anti-constitutional, blocking the freedom of others, blocking the state, and opposing equal rights, even for non-nationals, is anti-patriotism.

Feelings of patriotism are based on the positive values the country embraces—like freedom, justice, and equality. The patriot believes that both the system of government and the people of their country are inherently good and work together for a better quality of life.

In contrast, feelings of nationalism are based on a belief that one’s country is superior to all others. It also carries a connotation of distrust or disapproval of other countries, leading to the assumption that other countries are rivals. While patriots do not automatically denigrate other countries, nationalists do, sometimes to the point of calling for their country’s global dominance. Nationalism, through its protectionist beliefs, is the polar opposite of globalism.

While I don't agree that nationalism necessarily perceives a superiority, it does prioritise the nation as always being number one, even at to cost of others.

Isn't canon in their book that Sky Daddy's son spoke positively about immigrants?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

None of them have ever actually read it.

And when I open the door, what do I find? There's not a single, goddamn desk in that office. There is no Carol in HR.

So, send them to Him. They're only too eager, so why obstruct such a profound drive? 🤷🏼‍♂️
