of course even white westerners here still simp for him after he's said multiple times how proud he was to help destroy our countries. Fuck the troops all day.

      nah, you can still think what carter has done politically in the last few years is awesome and still call them out on joining the imperialist death machine, they're the lib for not doing the self crit

          maybe they wouldn't be so abrasive if lee didn't publicly stress how proud they were of their marine service, which imo is quite a tad bit lamer

          any excuse of saying that to dodge political scrutiny is now moot so the quarter chip is on their side of the game table now

            Posting your own twitter interactions will always be lame and I’ll die on that hill

              You know I just don't get this whole"oh that's just lame" thing! What is this obsession with "coolness"?!

              This post is about something that seems kinda important so I'd expect the discussion to be about that and not how lame or cool something is... just seems a bit childish imo

                Nothing about this post has any bearing on anything. It's some internet rando getting banned by a former state-level politician.

                  I already made the point elsewhere that the importance of this post lies in people defending the troops...

                    No one is defending the troops. People are criticizing how lame it is to intentionally get blocked then brag about it, how calling one of the furthest-left politicians in the country a chud is counterproductive, etc.

                      You know what, I wasn't gonna do it but seeing as this is your take I think it's okay to link:

                      personally invade other countries and kill their children

                      Is every troop doing this?

                        Suggesting that some troop getting coffee in Texas is as culpable as some military-adjacent civilian getting coffee down the street is hardly a defense of anyone.

                        But keep trying to own people instead of having a conversation; that's productive

        not doing the self crit

        Could swear he's had multiple long Twitter threads about this. Not sure this is true.

          closest thing i could find was this where he criticizes foreign policy but still emphasizes his pride in his service and just goes "thankfully all i did was fix phones guys!"
