It’s a little of both. Humanity is kind of obsessed with Wars in general, and a lot of our history is written to reflect that. So you almost can’t have one without the other.

I thought for sure this would be an old article but no they just wrote a brand new article about something that happened a month and a half ago. Something that was widely covered. What an odd choice for the Miami Herald.

The next financial collapse is gonna be titanic.

Probably be a great place to broadcast the hangings from.

Don’t worry about it.

It’s not like screen readers on Lemmy arent already transmitting untold horror as is.

Well that group of morons are the ones who elected this sheriff.

I actually don’t think so. Or at least not directly. Because I run into a veritable slew of Hardcore neoliberals as well. I think it’s less that there’s more leftists and it’s more that they’re not censored as much here. Sure the world mods will do their best, but they can always just create new accounts in different instances. They’re harder to shut down then they were on Reddit.

Course now that I say that I guess that just really means they are further left here because Reddit has moved so far to the right after expunging so many of the leftists. Potato potato.

Yeah I think everybody understood that from the 27,000 number too

So many people fail to remember this simple fact. Your benefits are just as much as part of your compensation as a salary is. People act like its a gift you are given by your employer but we all know how naive that would be.

Y’all got to be careful with this. Because some people actually believe a stroke is what caused Fetterman to be what he is now. Instead of the actual truth which was he was always this and people just didn’t bother to, you know, actually check on his background and his past statements. You can’t fall for campaign rhetoric and think what they say when they’re running for something is who they really are. I say this because frankly it seems extremely relevant on this topic. Who is this guy really?

Okay so you cleared my Confusion by doubling down and saying that the US military would never allow Nazi tattoos. Good to know. That is the hill you’ve decided to die on. Well seeing as how that silly statement goes against literal reality I think we know who really knows what they’re talking about in this conversation don’t we? Hint it’s not the guy now apologizing for blatantly Nazi tattoos. Straight up downplaying nazi iconography. Wow.

Oh he’s very clearly not a Nazi is he? The guy with a Nazi tattoo on his chest? The guy who’s now very clearly lying about said tattoo? An ex marine? Sure very clear. What you mean to say is his current political campaign rhetoric doesn’t appear to be openly Nazi based. Well thank God we would never fall for campaign rhetoric that goes against all previous records of a person cough Fetterman cough. Maybe the psyop you should be concerned about is another Democrat getting into the Senate and then immediately voting against what Democrat voters actually want.

Also I’m confused by your last paragraph there. If you’re not saying that these kind of tattoos never get by the military sometimes then how is it definitely false what the other guys claiming? So which is it do they sometimes get through like he claims or they never get through like you were suggesting and now have suggested once again they are with that sentence? Can’t be both.

The hill you’ve chosen to die on today is the fact that you don’t think it’s possible for US military personnel to get away with having Nazi or Ultra right wing nationalists tattoos? That’s the hill you’ve chosen? That thing that we’ve seen dozens and dozens of times before? Your pal the Secretary of Defense has them from when he was in the military. But that’s the thing you can’t buy into? Okay.

I don’t know if it’s that good of a deal. According to that website it doesn’t apply to the pizza cafe or the funnel cake factory. If it doesn’t apply to the funnel cake factory is it even worth it? Is living?

You know if you were trying to convince us of how benign the symbol is maybe you shouldn’t be trying to whitewash the name of it? Why don’t you just say Totenkopf? That’s what it’s called. That’s what he’s called it.

This tattoo was the Totenkopf? Jesus Christ what is with this article? They described as skull and crossbones. As if making you think it’s a pirate symbol. Fuck no. The Totenkopf has always been associated with the Nazis. That’s a straight-up Nazi symbol that they wore while genociding people. I don’t believe for a fucking second this thing was an accident.

I can’t say I’m shocked that a PBS article is whitewashing this kind of shit. Cuz they’ve been whitewashing fascist shit for a while now. But God damn.

Kids are absolutely forced all the time.

Why on Earth would I want to be friends with a 10 year old?

Living the dream.
