I've heard the name Mike Prysner before but wasn't sure who he is. Wikipedia says he's an american Socialist and political activist who was in the army and murdered people in Iraq.

Socialism with USian characteristics.

what do you want boots who eventually figure out they are the baddies to do?

[–] jack@hexbear.net 54 points 4 days ago

He has literally dedicated his entire life since leaving the military to weakening it as an institution and winning over enough troops to carry out an anti-imperialist socialist revolution along Marxist-Leninist lines.

you're not obligated to forgive ofc but he has put in actual good work since then, it's not just a case of "vet sad :("

incidentally i think he's also this guy communism-will-win

Close. That's Spenser Rapone. He and Prysner host a podcast together, Eyes Left.

No that's another guy but they hosted a podcast together called Eyes Left.

outside of like sabotage, he is doing at least something approaching redemption tbh. if his activity reduces active roster of military by, say, a 100 it's probably good. saying as platner hater.

now a guy/gal who would sabotage launching thingy on aircraft carrier would probably do more good in one action than this, but eh

He has a pretty famous anti-war video that gets recirculated a lot.

I chucked a grenade in iraq

To show the elite that I was cool

When I finally felt guilt, the empire was built

And I say I'm just a normal dude
