when you google 'memorial day 2024' there's an animation of poppy flowers at the bottom of the screen to symbolize the global opium trade that they died to expand

I pay my respects to the troops every time I piss in the toilet

Conservatives when talking about Communist Obama: “I will not comply with your tyranny, good sir. I will water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. MOLON LABE swole-doge

Conservatives when they’re ordered to massacre a starving family 5000 miles away: “SIR YES SIR. I have no autonomy and your shiny Stars and Stripes on your shirt paralyzes my decision making abilities. cheems

America has always been a paper tiger whose troops only succeed against peers when 80% of the fighting is done by an ally

EDIT: hmm, chat what do you think. do I have to give them the (bourgeois) Revolutionary War or the War of 1812?

Unless you work weekends, in which case nothing changes for your except you can't get banking or much anything else done.

That’s not a very nuanced perspective I enjoy that my grandfather lived through the two wars he fought in

Actually I’m pissed, don’t be so goddamn disrespectful to the people who died and suffered either serving their country or doing what they needed to get by with no other choice you ignore the socioeconomic reasons for joining the military. You ignore all the reasons for why one could have to join or have a good reason to. You lack the nuance of understanding the positions of immigrants, working class, and trans people too. No but you are right fuck them. They were awful selfish people for doing what they needed to provide for their families, they are awful for wanting a stable place in society and steady income. They are awful for wanting healthcare and not wanting to live destitute. They should have just died in poverty or stayed in their own countries and had their own families rot

(I don't know how to do a spoiler but this is something a person in a leftie discord server posted when we were laughing at veterans like 2 years ago, they got banned promptly)

Killing children for oil company profits is okay because the murderers are poor is a classic propaganda line. Death to imperialists and class traitors.

Damn I thought this was a setup for revealing your Vietnamese grandpa

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

above the comment bar, second from the right, there's a small diamond/square with an exclamation point in it. clicking that will put a spoiler template in your comment, which looks like this:

spoiler ___

the second "spoiler" can be replaced with a custom tag of your own

Thanks, I am using a mediocre app (Connect) and I couldn't see that option there

I get to drive through traffic to work at a place I don't like and which has an environment which is painful for me to sign contracts for machines that are slowly murdering the planet to people at sometimes exorbitant rates
