yeah, into "white, straight, cisgendered, christian men" and "dishonorable discharge"

neo-nazi fuckbag

I think this could actually work in the public's favor. Yeah your average boot may be a chud, but you'll find the number of knuckle draggers decreases on the way up. And I would love to see the armed services run by the neanderthals. We have already witnessed operational degeneration with them only a year in trying this. And with the new "personal weapons must be allowed on base" will result in a bunch of wild west shoot outs, and a few really desperate dudes doing big mass shootings.

I wish Canadians would take us over, I would welcome our poutine bearing overlords with glee. But we all know we will(or maybe already are) become a ruzzian or China's vassal.

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, fuck man a military that is completely compliant with the president would spell the literal end of democracy.

Only the most elite and patriotic people of highest birth are allowed to fight in our toughest, wars. Hesgeth is the pinnacle of the human species, we NEED him on the front line, immediately.

... No, he's immortal and a genius and doesn't need weapons or armor, just let his words fight for him. He was chosen by god, you should even put him in a bright orange and lime jumpsuit and give him a megaphone and just drop him out of a plane. What a guy! An angel, even! Probably even has wings and doesn't need a parachute!

Frankly, I’d love to see this scenario played out to the fullest.

[-] daychilde@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Not the grunts, just the top brass. They don't care what color you are for you to be sent into the meat grinder.

That’s a good way to keep people closed minded and trained. When they are not exposed to people different from them, they can keep their bigoted ignorant thoughts.

even banning trans people from enlistment is intentional for keeping people they don't like down. historically in america military service has been a MASSIVE social stepping stone for the underprivileged. it's hard for them to call you a coward when you fought in a war for them. it's hard for them to say you would be a bad neighbor when you were a good brother in arms.

many black families used it as their first step out of poverty and into acceptance. now trans people, who are derided as cowards and corrupting influences on your community, are being denied that privilege. vance and co. are very aware of this.

Sleeping in a jar! Sleeping in a jar! The jar is under the bed! Sleeping in a jar!

The archive.is and archive.today sites have been caught changing text of articles to fit the Russian narrative.

I can't say I know of an alternative.

Share it to Firefox and click on the page icon in the browser bar.

[-] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Do you have a cite for that? This is the first I heard of this.

That doesn't mention any Russian narrative. They altered a page as part of their personal grudge with that blogger. The same blog targeted in the DDoS attack.

[-] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not good just the same. Hacking readers' computers via a capta exploit is some next level nefarious shit above and beyond changing archived text.

Both violate users' trust though. I had no idea about this.

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

OK, but I'd still like a source for the actual thing claimed about pushing Russian narrative.

[-] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not good, for sure. Sucks that there's no working alternative. It's trivial to not participate in the DDoS at least. uBO blocks it by default.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

What a shit-for-brains drunken fuckwit.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 weeks ago

We need you to die for us, but only if you have the right genitals.

Genitals win or lose wars, apparently.

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

I look forward to his murder

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Put brown people at the most dangerous places.

The military has a long history of doing that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
