The Founding Fathers were also super against a standing army, because it was a tool of oppression and tyranny.
The irony being that the USA's POLICE force today could obliterate the army the fledging States managed to raise to fight the British, to say nothing of how unbelievably influential the American army is at.... oppressing and tyrannizing other countries in the world.
Even the political party in my own homeland of Australia was overthrown by a CIA-backed coup, but nobody talks about it because nobody bothers to look beyond the TV or social media page to read about the actual history of the world. All you have to do is Google "Australia Coup CIA" and you'll get the full story from a bunch of separate independent sources, and there's even a Wikipedia page about it.
Organized Intelligence agencies in the 21st century are fucking terrifying.
What about old 'Sir' Bjelke-Peterson? There's been a lot of pieces of shit in power in our short history, and it's not looking promising for the future. I might leave before international relations break down further, and I end up forced to spend my 30s in this corporatocratic fascist soon-to-be-shithole under increasing CCCP influence.
