Anyone still in the military is a fascist. Along with every cop and ICE fucker.
I'd like to see how your life situation would be if everyone you mentioned decided to stop what they do.
That's the dumbest thing I've read today.
How? Sounds about right to me.
Anyone? The military and police dogs didn’t sign-up for the shit they’re trained to do, but they’re in inescapable shit nonetheless. Never met a fascist dog, though I’ve met a few that were anarchists and one that was a Trotskyist.
Just following orders!
The only ones I’ll accept that excuse from.
And we're at 1000 and counting dead in Iran. This mfs only legacy will be the pile of bodies left in his wake.
It's pretty disturbing how the president can decide to kill thousands all on a feeling and all without authorization from Congress
Why should one man get to decide the fate of thousands and the destiny of an entire country?
After he leaves office we have serious work that we need to do to reform the executive branch and to formally strip away all the powers that we have been warned about.
this is just a rounding error compared to the blood on the 🍊 💩, from Covid
Now CNN, do an article on each of the hundreds of children killed in the air strikes. Highlight how they were the light of the party. How unselfish they were, how they will be missed by their families. How, for some reason, unlike the base these American soldiers were working on, their school didn't have concrete walls around it to protect them.
A question that's going to be asked more and more:
Was it worth it?
I'll give it a few weeks and Trump will call them losers.
"I like war heroes who aren't dead"
Trump, probably.
A.K.A Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Is that not always what any war is about? When you sign up to be a soldier you should be aware that your life is being toyed with for the pleasure of the elites.
Why don't presidents fight the wars?
Why do they always send the poor?
Because they can?
I was quoting System of a Down
Bro really whooshed on that one. I don't really listen to them (not my style) but I like them artistically, and most of (or at least most of what I'm familiar with) what they say is fine, but the music doesn't connect with me.
But at least I got the reference.
No need to shame someone for not getting a reference. We don't all get the same cultural touchstones.
The more I read about this guy, the less it seems like he knows anything about the Art of the Deal.
Of course! Anything to distract from the Epstein files.
Unfortunately for them, Trump likes soldiers who didn’t get killed in war.
So much of what he does is so intentionally manufactured - very odd intentions and ideas about what to manufacture, just to say that briefly - that I have to believe he thought it would land well, advantageously in his permanently self-aggrandizing way - the several times he's said this and similar stuff.
Which, after a little inspection, gives us such a weird tiny window both into what he thinks impresses people...but to a vaguer degree, by proxy, what does impress the people who he historically has always sucked up to.
This specific weird brag he did always stuck out to me as uniquely vile, at first I saw it as merely stupid and amazingly tone deaf (first very surprising campaign, after all), but there was something else there I couldn't quite put my finger on, and it's this. I think we have to acknowledge it's always revealed something much, much worse.
How many times have we heard the ways "they" all truly feel, and recoiled at the base lowness of it, projected uniquely, confidently, smugly - out of their grotesque messiah's mouth?
[Edit: "they", just above, of course means the terminally deranged, unsalvageable minds we call "elites", it doesn't mean Republicans, voters, any other groups of humans - hope that's obvious but I prefer clarity]
I see this as no different than the bastard lobbing a frag grenade at the neighbors and then hiding behind these kids as human shields.
The Mad Child-Raping Wannabe King is killing people's children again, and he doesn't care whose. Never has.
These kids? My friend, the faces you see are the type of people responsible for KILLING kids. These are all adults with full responsibility for their actions.
I get where you're coming from, and I anticipated a response like this, but also there's some realities I respectfully believe you're at risk of over-generalizing.
In the modern world armed forces are often positioned as a way out of poverty, or to a fulfilling career, because they're one of the last jobs that will actually train you. (Especially if you can't afford college.)
I have my own opinion that swearing oaths to a state that can tell you "Go kill them or else" is a bad idea, but I can only control me.
Regardless, a mixture of people join up: Many of which wanna just do their 4 years and leave. Most of which never see combat. Many of which do incredibly valuable work like weather monitoring! But also few really get a choice where they're deployed.
My point being: These are human beings killed. Those on the other sides are human beings killed. This is a net negative. For all we know, these U.S casualties were the base cooks. We don't know if they ever aimed any weapon at another living soul. We don't know who these people are.
The kneejerk reaction is to say "They had it coming" because we don't like what's happening, but that thinking will swiftly rot our humanity.
The puppetmasters that are pointing these human beings at each other for their own sick games are the ones that should be punished and destroyed. NONE of these people needed or deserved to die.
War does not determine who is right — only who is left.
–Bertrand Russell
I get what you are saying. But I'm just gonna quote my comment from elsewhere in this comment section. So I don't have repeat myself.
I'm all for redemption and rehabilitating. The "too young to know what they were involved in". The "poverty draft" argument. Etc.
But, all of that relies on those former military or former cops actually realizing what they were a part of and spend the rest of their life speaking out against it and actually working to a restorative justice.
Unfortunately, when you die being a modern day Nazi, I'm not gonna waste my time thinking or caring about "if" any of those things could have happened. I'm just glad you're dead and not hurting people anymore.

4 american terrorists dead
Is it war or special military operation?
I didn't see the head of the Department of Special operations, but the head of the Department of War was there... Talking about Jesus.
LoL those Losers and Suckers! Don't be Offended at ME I'm just REPEATING the President!
Damn. We lost one of those thumbs from the first spykids movie.
Can someone explaine to me why we don't call current soldiers "pedophile protectors" the same way we do with the Guardians of Pedophiles?
We just haven’t yet. I say we do. Pedomilitary?
"Your dad died ~~defending his town and family from invaders~~ killing kids in thrid world countries under the orders of a corrupt pedophilic administration to expand the imperalism of a settler-colonial superamacist gnocidal aparthied."
i mean... he was a nazi.
And of course there are many more, but these are pathological liars.
Benghazi
Good
Disgusting and coward bloodthirsty pigs
More of this please and good riddance.
I wonder about the circumstances of their deaths, and the nature of their characters.
It wouldn't surprise me if they were unliked for some reason and intentionally sacrificed.
Heck, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that our king killed them himself for sport then went to war with Iran just to explain their deaths.
