The libs seem miserable though. They keep winning, but they hate it

No pictures, but kid friendly: Terry Pratchett. His discworld is great, and it was fine for me to read as a 12-year old. He has some weird anti-activist brain worms, but they only really show up around Nights Watch, and honestly I'd start my kid out with Diggers! I think you could read that to your child from like age 7 or so.

I'd also recommend the hobbit. It's not leftist, but it's not lib either, it's a good kids book and it's anti-war. The climax is Bilbo stopping the battle of the five armies.

Antoine saint-exuperys "The Little Prince" is also a must. No overt politics, but anti-war, anti-this-world-we-live-in and very heavy on compassion. If you haven't read it either then get on it.

When I worked with kids we'd have story time and I'd tell them about leftist heroes. I reshaped Ned Kelly to be a sort of Robin Hood type. If you can find a good Robin Hood book, then I'd recommend that too. There's lots of retellings.

That fool is still working on "if you dont do everything you possibly can to minimize your own carbon footprint, then you are morally equivalent to murderers" it seems.

Had a family member stationed on a shared base with americans. He could not say one good thing about them. Their base itself was shit, everything was just destroyed. The americans would comer over to his side of base all the time, because it was "cozy" (they had chairs that weren't destroyed by some roided up grunt). The americans would pull out a big projector screen every friday, pull out barbeques and then watch live drone footage as they hooted and hollered. The meat was shit too. Not that the shitty base and the shitty meat matters at all, it's just to illustrate that all the horrors inflicted upon the locals was so some grillman could eat terrible food in a broken chair in an ugly home.

He had to participate in an operation once. Some local who was working as a chef on base was suspected of being an Al Qaeda member (he wasn't). The briefing was 10 minutes, the captain had named the operation "Operation Fuck Shit Up". The briefing was mainly just to get these overly aggressive dudes to be hyped about doing their "job".
They went to were the afghani lived (a tent), which was a small settlement full of very chill people that all had jobs depending on the base. Instead of knocking or checking with family or anything, or just driving in a normal car like normal people to have a chat, they rolled out in a fucking tank. Then they cut his tent open (one cut for each individual) and destroyed the insides - The dude wasn't home.
They then found him "hiding" (working at his second job) somewhere else, where they did indeed Fuck Shit Up. They beat up the guy, they beat up others at the place, they destroyed the interior.

The US had the highest rate of blue-on-blue violence, and it was very obvious why. He said they would pray that americans didn't answer calls for help, because it would just make things worse.

"Some of you may be willing to die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" but unironically

Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.
