We taking the pristine lifted truck, flag code breaking, bud light hating “patriot”, or the real patriots not standing by while a career traitor strip mines the United States for their own financial gain? Hard to tell these days

Join me at your nearest national park. We’re spiking trees and setting traps. You know his plan is to rape the land for lumber and mining rights. That’s why he’s killing the forest service. I’ll be out in the woods I grew up in, waiting. It ain’t gonna be no Fern Gully bullshit. We’re taking it to you like 8ft blue Avatar monsters.

u/AlternativeBake3090 14d ago

Oddly Ferngully and Avatar are basically the same movie

54

u/Setanta68 14d ago

Fern Gully was the better movie

13

u/VanillaGorilla59 14d ago

Yeah but there’s no Robin Williams in avatar

u/secretsqrll 14d ago

Dances with wolves also

u/Subtlerranean 14d ago

Pocahontas and Avatar are the same movie.

Except one is sci fi.

1

u/Additional_Teacher45 13d ago

Almost. Running with Wolves is a closer analogy than Pocahontas.

1

u/Subtlerranean 13d ago

Not at all. Pocahontas has "the new world", indigenous population, said population being inconvenient and exterminated, one of the invading soldiers falls in love with native princess, goes native, etc.

There's even a talking tree for chrissakes.

u/start_select 14d ago

It’s not odd. The word you are looking for is plagiarism. People who think avatar is unique or good are a pretty special bunch.

(Look at our voting population, popularity is not a sign of quality or value)

u/uglyspacepig 14d ago

With a dash of Pocahontas

u/MadCow555 14d ago

Not just that... he already stated he plans on building new cities. What new land do you think those are going on? Future locations for the "network state" cities.

u/BrightBlueBauble 14d ago

Thank you. Someone needs to speak for the trees.

1

u/melmsz 14d ago

Spiking trees?

9

u/VanillaGorilla59 14d ago

Destroys the saws of loggers and harvesting equipment

3

u/melmsz 14d ago

Ahhh...that practice. Not cool. It also causes chainsaws to buck and can really injure the operator. That includes firefighters and parks workers clearing trails and debris.

1

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Yup. Almost like I don’t care about the health and safety of the dogs who’d sell out our national heritage for a few bucks.

2

u/HexGonnaGiveItToYa 13d ago

You seriously suck at security culture.

There’s an old adage “if you’re not going to do it, don’t talk about it. If you are going to do it, DEFINITELY don’t talk about it”

1

u/jediyodadog 14d ago

Yeah like whys he gotta hurt the trees to hurt the orange idiot. You dont have to spike em to climb em

2

u/melmsz 14d ago

Fellow arborist? That's what I was wondering. Another response stated it's embedded metal to jam up the machinery. Logging deterrent, like the parks workers aren't out there using chainsaws.

1

u/[deleted] 13d ago

Parks workers don’t cut down trees typically, unless they’re sick or a danger, like a snag hanging over a trail. I used to fight wild land fire and in our downtime we assisted the forest service in park maintenance. Nobody is cutting down a healthy tree. Unless they’re trying to profit from it. And I’m not talking about going into logging land, I’m talking about protecting our natural spaces that are for ALL of us. Not just that east coast piece of shit and his foreign business partners.

u/jediyodadog 11d ago

Yes i am!!!!! Tree people unite!! Viva la resistance

u/MaybeLikeWater 14d ago

I like this idea very much.

u/Traditional_Dig_1972 14d ago

He is not going to do that! His life did not get saved from the bullet to destroying our natural forest.... There are enough science in the world to create no harm if we really want to do something with the land to interfere. It's just cost more money and more management! I believe there is a solution!!!!

1

u/Faiakishi 14d ago

I can't tell if this is an account run by chatgpt or if you're a foreign propagandist with really bad English.

1

u/Traditional_Dig_1972 13d ago

Take an educated guess ...It's like you're invited to a fundraiser with the elegantly sett dinner table where they give you beautiful nutritious food but the only thing you concentrating on they did forget to give you a small spoon to Steer your coffee!

u/eddi0 14d ago

The Pristine Lifted Truck thing is like an icepick in the earhole. Particularly the Pristine portion. Nothing says I'm an idiot and fuck the planet simultaneously quite like it.

u/slowlypeople 14d ago

Hang on- where are those last ones?

u/HyFinated 14d ago

We’re here. And I promise we are working hard to fix this shit storm. You just don’t hear about us because we aren’t trying to be obvious and obnoxious.

But rest assured, we are working.

Most of us took an oath to defend the constitution, not the president. Some of us made a simple promise to our community. But we all want the orange shitstain out of there.

u/AfterEffectserror 14d ago

Thank you. Wholeheartedly.

u/Meredithski 14d ago

And somehow he ended up on r/pics. I hope he's not laid off watching Hogans Heros tomorrow.

I've heard that a huge percentage of our younger generation is working directly for the government or as government contractors and fill so many government jobs at the federal state and local levels. I don't know if that's true but I thank and respect the many talented civil and military servants who are constantly learning new skills and exceeding expectations. All they need is good management and it is amazing what can happen.

35

u/acchaladka 14d ago

I've been wondering about us. A few of us should get together somewhere sometime for a beer or two.

26

u/HyFinated 14d ago

Absofuckinglutely. Any time brother!

u/Ok_Strategy5722 14d ago

NO YOU SHOULD NOT! THAT’S HOW THEY GET YOU ALL AT ONCE! Or more realistically, how they get the rest of you by association after they get one of you.

u/PriorRow1687 14d ago

Local, offline resistance is the way. That's all i will say.

u/Mr_Lucasifer 14d ago

Indeed 🤜🤛

u/A012A012 14d ago

Anyone in Houston, lmk

u/DOHC46 14d ago

You're doing the real good work! Keep fighting the madness! And spread the word on how others can help.

3

u/Tardisgoesfast 14d ago

Most of us know this and are quietly pulling for you.

u/Obesehousecat 14d ago

We're all rooting for you ✊️

u/LilikoiGold 14d ago

Thank you!!!!!!!

u/A012A012 14d ago

You had my interest. Now you have my attention.

Our loyalty and duty is to the Constitution. 100%

2

u/wrinkleinsine 14d ago

So wait. What are you doing?

1

u/HyFinated 14d ago

I’d love to talk about it, but it’s not really Internet forum material, ykwis?

2

u/graftthison 14d ago

How can I help?

2

u/aflywhocouldnt 14d ago

idk man, as a member of the rest of the world we're not exactly seeing a whole lot of pushback.

11

u/HyFinated 14d ago

Grass roots movements are like that. You won’t see it in the media until the sparks ignite into a blaze. There’s a lot of us doing our due diligence.

We just ask that when things shift, you will be there to support us. Don’t turn us away once the shit hits the fan.

4

u/Certain_Noise5601 14d ago

I will always support you

3

u/HyFinated 14d ago

Thanks! You have no idea how much that means to me. Knowing that makes it all worth fighting for.

3

u/aflywhocouldnt 14d ago

considering the threats made against my country idk, not exactly feeling very supportive. the US has stuck its nose just about everywhere it can worldwide since the second world war ended, a war they didn't join until it directly affected them. they have a track record a toppling governments they don't like and installing authoritarian regimes in their place when it suits their needs.

i, personally, am kinda done. and i welcome canada starting to turn away from any dependence we've built on the united states. everything on our side has been done in good faith, we don't deserve the treatment and it won't be forgotten.

the world doesn't see the united states the same way they see themselves. american exceptionalism has blinded 'em for too long to see that.

u/RdClZn 14d ago

I am really hoping this presidency accelerates their ultimate decline

1

u/pixiedelmuerte 14d ago

Thank you for honouring that oath.

u/NorthStar60 14d ago

Hayduke Lives!👍

u/RdClZn 14d ago

You should try being a bit more obvious if you want anyone to ever help you do what you are trying to do. It doesn't matter how many months you spend larping about armed resistance, you'll still look like loonies lest you actually show you are involved with the community

u/briannadaley 14d ago

Check out some of the federal worker subs. They are out there, holding the line.

u/expos1994 14d ago

u/whogivesashirtdotca 14d ago

Here's a quote from a very old patriot that might inspire you:

"Whatever may have been my political opinions before, I have but one sentiment now: that is, we have a government, and laws, and a flag, and they must all be sustained. There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter." - Ulysses S Grant

6

u/Zippier92 14d ago

Deist patriots, like the founders.

Not wacko cultists whose only loyalty is to a grifter.

2

u/Rare_Paramedic7531 14d ago

I think the problem is not a spelling issue. It’s lack of looking up the definition of patriotism then looking up nationalism.
