    Dog whistle. Ice is the SA and space force will form the more elite SS. Himmler would be proud. And that they chose space force shows how dumb Trump acts through that all.

        A dogwhistle is a more or less megaphone only dogs can hear. So you are right and wrong at the same time. A dog whistle is fucking loud, you just don’t hear that.

          The idea of a dog whistle is as you say only dogs hear it. So in the use case of Nazis letting each other know they are Nazis it’s usually a subtle thing. A phrase or gesture that’s innocent on the face of it, but signals to other Nazis they are Nazis. Like what they tried to do with the OK hand signal.

          Putting up your hand and shouting Heil Hitler isn’t really a dog whistle, as everyone knows at that point you are a Nazi.

            Yeah I tend to agree. But a uniform somewhat looking like the SS uniform is not as obvious to everybody. Its at least plausibly deniable.

              It’s fairly clear that you are a person that moves through your life thinking you are intelligent and that you’re constantly delivering precise repartee in this thread or that, but in actual fact…

                You think I’m a person? I would have thought my opinion entitles me to not being considered human. Maybe throw a little guillotine in as well. ;)

    All of the fat Space Force dorks are going to look like Göring walking around in this shit. It’s got jackboots ffs. Don’t see these guys mounting horses or motorcycles anytime soon as part of their duties.

    The Space Force proved its incompetence when they called their bases “Space Force Base” instead of “Star Base”.

      Space force isn’t about stars it is about the space between the stars, and also about being a boondoggle distraction for this queen who loves the pomp and circumstance of a military force dressed like the SS. It gets his underwhelming chubby just hard enough for Natalie to service it.

        The secret service already exists… And does the job description of the SS.

        The Space Force is just a branch of the Air Force that won’t ever see battles. They will monitor satellites as they have for the last several decades.

    Space Force?

    🤣

    As if the USA had any sort of capacity for that atm. Just another publicity stunt. Need to stay afloat on the churning media waters. That’s what US “government” has come to. Well, not only that unfortunately.

    Greetings to Hugo Boss btw, may he turn in his grave.

    Hollywood spent 80 years copying and re-imagining nazi aesthetics, now the US government does the same.

      Space Force isn’t new, it’s been around since 2019. Everyone mocked the name back then, but I’m just pointing out its not a new publicity stunt.

      There’s even a Steve Carrell show about it, though I have no idea if its any good.

        It was pretty good iirc. Mostly mocking the military than anything else. Cancelled after two seasons though so probs not worth watching anymore.

          The 2 seasons are both decent, but very different. The first was mocking the Trump administration and the Space Force, while the second was a little kinder as the administration had changed. It ended on a cliffhanger.

          The first season has a scene with congressional testimony where Carrel’s getting grilled on the cost of luxuries for people in space (specifically the extreme cost of Apples iirc), and he actually has a pretty decent speech justifying the occasional luxury for astronauts.

          If you don’t watch series just because they’ve been cancelled, it’s going to seriously limit your options.

            I’m tired of unfinished stories, and this one finished in a cliff hanger.

            There are many series that end on unsatisfying notes because platforms like to play games with the numbers and I’m sick of getting invested in a show only for them to cancel it because they merged with another company, or were bought out, or stiffed the actors or whatever. If a show was upfront about making it halfway through the story then stopping, would you bother to watch?

              I never really liked series because I felt like they either suck their subject bone dry and then kept at it for a few seasons to really get all the juice out of that dry husk, or just get cancelled because they end up being less successful than Lost.

              So, yes it’s mostly a broken format. Mini series (like 6 episodes) are much better.

        Space Forces in general aren’t even a new thing. The Russian Space Force was originally founded in 1992 and re-established in 2015.

      We are plenty capable of launching rockets still. We just launched the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope last week. Probably the only decent thing this administration will “let” us engineers do in the next decade.
