I’d say that it’s a matter of timescale, very little if anything of the initial version of the USS Constitution is part of the current version of the ship but id consider it the same ship just version whatever because it was slowly replaced over a couple hundred years. It’s the side effect of “living” objects, though if there is one old ass ship that is 100% immune to the Ship of Theseus it’s the Vasa.

vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump deploys National Guard after second day of Los Angeles immigration protests | CNN5·4 hours agoGiven the fact that the US was the first modern democracy, was born from a revolution, and was hobbled by the fucking South from day one is say it did pretty damned good. Seriously it could’ve failed as early as the whiskey rebellion but it didn’t.

That last bit is ironic given the AI slop and hentai on their online store, nothing against the hentai I just think it’s funny.

They were affected by the post Vietnam reforms just like the rest of the branches, especially after Kent state. Fact of the matter is the guardsmen are far more likely to take issue with ICE and the police in general, reminder that quite a few came forward after the BLM protests saying they wanted to defend the protestors from the police.
Mind you that doesn’t eliminate risks involved but it does mean that there is far far more potential for this to utterly backfire in Trump’s face.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump deploys National Guard after second day of Los Angeles immigration protests | CNN33·8 hours agoThis is basically my take as well, Californian cities are fucking massive and 2,000 people in LA especially is barely a drop in the bucket. Also these are National guardsmen who may very well be pissed they are being sent to stand around outside in LA during the summer, the concrete and blacktop does not let go of heat easily.
Edit: Bucket not bugget, my auto correct is on bath salts.

Also a natal cult is much more pathetic than a sex cult, at least someone is having fun in the sex cult.

At least Hitler had the excuse of getting gassed on the trenches, Musk is just a druggie.
Not shaming folks who like drugs but let’s be honest here Musk is filling his weak little ego with narcotics.

But he was actually intelligent, a decent commander, knew how to write, and actually looked pretty decent unlike Musk who is none of those things. Seriously comparing Musk to Trotsky is like comparing Trump to Theodore Roosevelt.

The foundation of action is started with but a single brick. The National Guard weren’t rolled out till later on into the BLM protests after they had in many ways started to wind down and stabilize. The current Guardsmen are being deployed at the start, after already being fucked over by Trump via VA cuts and other more general bullshit.
Call me general wait and see but it’s too early to make any calls with too many factors, this could turn into a massacre, a revolution, or the Guardsmen could get pissed off and butcher ICE. It’s still too early and chaotic to make calls. Not like I’m any help beyond trying to cool nerves, too volatile to protest and I am reliant on my MAGA grandmother. Pisses me the fuck off that I have to live through this bullshit.
