      As in America is a joke for engaging in this, or as in America has no clue what actual martial law looks like? Neither? Both?

        No, I experienced actual martial law in the United States during the Boston Marathon Bombing aftermath.

        Men with guns in the streets telling you to get the fuck inside. Total lockdown. Forced military inspection of homes. Military control of civilian spaces. Commerce halted (by order of the men with guns).

        So, wrong on all counts. And I do not give a fuck if the US never called it martial law. Words have definitions. Just like Genocide and Insurrection.
