Excited to find the western chauvinists in this community.
Edit: Wow apparently the only people on chapo dot chat are whitees unaffected by and benefiting from their imperialism confidently declaring how the perpetrators are to be treated.
Y'all have some nerve
Edit 2:
ITT If you shoot a black kid in the back in downtown Baltimore I want nothing to do with you. If you perfarate an entire back family in Mogadischu or Baghdad that's ok, you did growth and spaces.
The achievement of the "left's" goals will not depend on the feelings of people who apparently are so mentally deficient as to not be able to engage in any demanding activity while stroking their dick up and down. Your view of veterans is much more of an impediment than any insult hurled at them for their service. They are either big boys and will get over it or they are not and you wouldn't want them near any kind of firearm.
I mean I only care about people's feelings insofar as they affect material results. I don't think there will be a revolution any time soon but the obsession with moral atonement like """"""leftism"""""" is a religion is entirely counterproductive. The demand for self-flagellation among former troops is part of a broader trend on the western left, which in it's impotence has latched onto moralizing as it's primary focus. I don't think that spending years investing time in disparaging and admonishing troops is going to end well when the time comes. We don't live in a place and time where angry masses with semi auto rifles can take on the largest and most technologically advanced military in the world. It wouldn't be like Vietnam or Afghanistan, it would be a conflict of life and death for the Imperialist forces and they would treat it as such. Revolution in the imperial core would necessitate major defections from Imperialist security forces, most likely from those that are colonized people themselves.
Relevant reading.
Yeah I thought about this article when typing that but couldn't remember the title/publication.
