Last I checked the LDS have actual industrial arms manufacturering capacity.

This is the real answer, there are soooo many Mormon gun companies and defense contractors it's fucking wild.

[-] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 12 points 2 months ago

A not insignificant one at that.

You must have your years supply of food and ammo just like the prophet told us…

The Amish might be more self reliant for the long haul. Keep growing veggies and chickens and you can outlast the Mormons during an insurgency.

[-] KamikazeRusher@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

And a fair amount of them own an AR-15

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

And we all know how well it went the last time a massive industrialized army took on a bunch of peasants on bikes.

Lots of Mormons in the Secret Service, FBI, etc. Their jingoistic fervor is highly sought after.

some recruiters call this "low-risk behavior", apparently cult takeover was not one of these risks

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah their adherence to the Mormon faith means they live largely without indulging in vices so they are harder to compromise/extort (allegedly)

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

yeah they might be harder to compromise with booze but they are already compromised by cult thinking, best deal in history lol

i heard that CIA recruits from mormons

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

That can't be real because everyone knows

THERE IS NO CIA

[-] psud@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months ago

I think it even says that in the CIA fact book, which means it is in fact a fact

Wait how did you get access to our handbook?

we learned how to print hello world in COBOL

[-] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

it's the NSA that doesn't exist

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Politicians, sure. Not what I was talking about though.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
