it’s also a bad sign for us generally when they don’t even want to try to convince us to do rainbow imperialism or buy things, which is where it seems to be going
She martyred herself out of guilt from being in that institution. That’s the difference between her and the rest of the troops. Until they prove otherwise, a troop is a troop.
That is a 1 in 1,400,000 occurrence. The war criminals outnumber the self immolators 10,000,000 to 1, so I'm not concerned about the near-non-existent chance that someone decent gets cut. Also, keep in mind that Bushnell wasn't out and therefore wouldn't be cut by this decision. Both major trans saboteurs were pre transition when they joined as it is a different experience.
okay, so just because of 1 good soldier that means the rest aren't bad? are you goig to cry next about "fallen troops" in the next U.S. imperialist war because they could've been a comrade?
No, the complete opposite. The world would be a better place if every single American servicemember was jailed or shot. I'm saying that categorically dismissing their tactical utility is a mistake, and that if you want the American left to have any political power at all you need to capture and make effective use of the group that actually has the guns. That doesn't change their moral character, they're still child murderers. But a child murderer who's willing to sabotage a weapons shipment is a child murderer who has the capacity to undo a fraction of the harm they've caused.
Let’s be honest, they would end up being homeless after the US military uses them to genocide the third world for a few years and then casts them aside like a used husk.
I was going to post something like “yay no :flag_trans: imperialism”; but this is going to mean 15000 more unhoused people isn’t it?

They're soldiers in the US military, I wouldn't go as far as to call them that
Aaron Bushnell was a trans person in the US Air Force and she was 50 times the leftist I am.

Exactly, this is just idealism
The army of worldwide genocidaires just has a few bad apples
Bushnell was trans?
It's not speculation, it was confirmed in this post
If I recall, there was some speculation but they never explicitly said it or came out before martyring themselvesEDIT: Okay, nevermind
Streamed as "LillyAnarKitty" so there's been a lot of speculation.
Also called herself lilly on reddit
50 times 0 is still 0 tho
