Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Not yet. White army dude so it's either some guy that america broke yet again or he's a nazi with a manifesto, one or the other.
What's the difference?
American society seems to put so much pressure and anger inside people that they utterly break.
Nazis on the other hand haven't been broken by a societal design that drives people to want to die and to want to take as many people with them as possible. They are ideological true believers that fully believe their acts are accelerating the move towards their fascist goals and are willing to die for it.
I think this one is starting to look like mental health rather than ideology as he's reported hearing voices, added some more info to the OP.
What’s the difference?
Really?
I'm saying a "Nazi with a manifesto" falls pretty squarely into "person that America broke"
squares and rectangles. plenty of ways to break without becoming a nazi
I suppose you have heard of not all broken people are assholes, but all assholes are broken people? Same thing here. All broken vets are not nazis.
You on the other hand have proven yourself a rather clear asshole.
That's way more agressive and harsh then what they said deserved.
I don't disagree that there's a difference between between what was phrased earlier as someone broken by America and a Nazi, but no reason to get that angry over someone asking what the difference is, or not caring so much about the difference when they kill a bunch of people
Go back to reddit, if youre in the military for 20 years youre not a good person even if youre some pog who doesnt do shit. I can understand ppl who do a contract even two and then get out but 20 years is a long time. Too much to not be a brainwormed imperialist
I don't understand how you're getting that from my comment? I didn't say that all "broken vets" are Nazis?
Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.
