Right? From the same guy, “I won’t enact Project 2025.”

The first movie my current boss (20 year army infantry guy with significant brainworms) and I ever discussed was starship troopers. It’s like we watched a completely different movie.

His take was, when he was in the army he shouldn’t vote because “that’s like voting for your own boss” which I guess is bad somehow. After watching the movie, his take is that you should only be able to vote if you’ve been in the military, but only after you get out (honorably of course) because of course he can’t purge that initial brainworm, just modify it slightly with another contradiction.

It was like talking to a brick wall trying to explain the satire

Edit: forgot to add, he also didn’t think he should vote while he was in because that’s the thing that would make him complicit with the warcrimes they committed. Not, you know, just following orders which is a perfectly valid moral defense to him.

Deport him to El Salvador

might have been commenting as a way to save it for later, I used to do that on other forums

Yes, that’s another perspective on the same set of facts

Well that’s just not the case and I would encourage a little more reflection on that. Perhaps considering ideas of Western Chauvinism.

You see, it’s about power dynamics. Also, stick around long enough and you’ll see plenty of folks calling out Russian Nazi’s. They just aren’t at the leading edge of this conflict in the way Ukrainian Nazi’s ala-Banderites and Azov are, so you’re pretty close there I think with your reasoning.

Edit to add: you should be overwhelmingly seeing support for Ukrainian and Russian citizens equally, I don’t think anybody here is intentionally painting all Ukrainian's as Nazi’s, just the ones that are actual proud Nazi’s.

No more time needed here

And the trash takes itself out. Good job folks.

Yep. Just a way of linking social media posts to an action most people are willing to take. Not everyone who is Anti-Israel can or will go to protests, so they gotta have some crumble of an action to arrest someone over their thoughts.

For the rest it’s a solid warning.
