i can't believe this subreddit is real. these people are going to get smoked instantly, right? like I just looked it up and it's 866 kilometers to where this dipshit wants to go, without money or supplies, in a place where he can't communicate with the locals
unrelated but I need to know: does anyone else feel like they're becoming the joker after reading this?
Nato is taking advantage of the mentally ill at this point and it's disgusting
honestly it reads like a bunch of these people are just looking for a way to die and this is the easiest one for them to justify
This feels like the chud version of the leftist meme "my retirement plan is dying in the revolution". I can't help but feel sorry for all the lives put into the meat grinder as a result of propaganda and ideology.
to the person in c/the_dunk_tank who was dunking on the concept of sublimation yesterday, I think this a good example. The socially unacceptable impulse of suicide is transformed into the more socially acceptable impulse of dying to defend Ukraine.
They'll panic and rout inside of ten minutes and the Russians will neatly roll them up and put them on state TV one after the other as evidence of direct NATO escalation.
here's hoping! my instincts tell me a bunch of these people are already compromised because they literally post their flights on reddit and they will be killed for this
that's bad that would escalate things further my big fear is that people start talking about how we should go to war to avenge and protect these people
unrelated but I need to know: does anyone else feel like they’re becoming the joker after reading this?
Ngl, westerners turn this whole thing into a self-centered, virtue signaling circle jerk is leaving me so enraged all the time that my empathy for the people involved is being swamped by apathy. And that's making me depressed as hell.
Same. They literally, literally think this is fucking Star Wars or a Marvel movie
I had to go for a walk after some people I live with said all of us dying in a nuclear war would be good if it protected Ukrainian sovernity.
getting vaporized by some Russian cruise missile or tank shell to defend the interests of arms manufacturers in America is a good cause?
You don't understand, they saw what was happening on CNN!
this is what 20 years of nothing but superhero movies does to some people
That's honestly sad, delusional, or sadly delusional. Screams "failure to adjust to civilian life" and being lost without structure.
I feel like this is the shitty unorganised version of going to die in the spanish civil war but for entirely unprincipled people who just think that they're going to go on some rambo rampage and kill dozens of faceless russians like they're playing CoD or something, ignoring the fact that everyone they're going up against also has training AND a fair bit of combat experience already as opposed to dumb NPC grunts who go down in a few shots.
Its literally just suicide by cop with the intent to also kill a load of people first
It's murder-suicide by cop. The nationalist drive to kill and die is truly delusional.
I mean, I guess the alternative is going through the VA for mental health care and then getting flown to Walter Reed so they can amputate a leg because your paperwork got mixed up. Plus there's about a 99.9% chance that the guy who tweeted this is just fucking LARPing; how is he going to sell his Dodge Charger when he hasn't even paid it off yet due to the 29.9% APR on the loan? :shrug-outta-hecks: Whoopsie, no money for a plane ticket, guess the killing spree is off.
Also also, LMAO at "Air Force Vet" and "combat training" in the same sentence together. The "chair force" stuff is not a meme or a joke; the overwhelming majority of personnel in the USAF are in support/logistics/maintenance roles.
I'm pretty sure Rojava had organized routes from Iraq into norther Syria, followed by a way to process and train volunteers. Just flying in and expecting to somehow find your way seems so crazy.
Can't even dunk on this because this is no different than untethered and completely alienated individuals rushing to join ISIS because they feel they have nothing to live for. They perceive that it gives them self worth and purpose, despite it being a very nihilistic move. I know stories of kids that went to join ISIS, and the idea that they're going to get wiped out really doesn't matter to them. Death is a given and the only thing that they're shocked by is the level of violence, which they eventually just normalize and participate in.
Akshually sweaty all our army vets are like Rambo.
On a serious note, how do we know this person actually even went to Ukraine or isn't the same one person doing it over and over again across reddit?
I feel like I'm living in a bodysnatchers movie with everyone I know (except the people back in my hometown) suddenly salivating at the idea of war. My roomates I know for a fact have got to this position because football games now begin with a talk about Ukraine
Lmao, guy who spent 4 years in the chair force thinks he's gonna be captain america. I'm sure his experience in using video games to blow up weddings will help him out a ton
