thats the kind of people we're dealing with here

You don't need to backpedal so hard about what you did months ago.

look at this language. no wonder this is taking place in the REVENGE OF THE NERDS thread

its kind of cool to have an alt. universe version of myself that exists only the collective imagination of some deranged perverts tbh.

its sort of like appearing in a david icke book or something, kinda cool imo.

its nice to be called a terrorist sympathizer too because you argue against the us military. its how you know you're right

found a cool vid today

back when i gave a shit i used to basically spam this quote

While on tank patrol through the narrow streets of Abu Ghraib, just west of Baghdad, Pfc. Clifton Hicks was given an order. Abu Ghraib had become a "free-fire zone," Hicks was told, and no "friendlies" or civilians remained in the area. "Game on. All weapons free," his captain said. Upon that command, Hicks's unit opened a furious fusillade, firing wildly into cars, at people scurrying for cover, at anything that moved. Sent in to survey the damage, Hicks found the area littered with human and animal corpses, including women and children, but he saw no military gear or weapons of any kind near the bodies. In the aftermath of the massacre, Hicks was told that his unit had killed 700-800 "enemy combatants." But he knew the dead were not terrorists or insurgents; they were innocent Iraqis. "I will agree to swear to that till the day I die," he said. "I didn't see one enemy on that operation."

tpaine do you criticize the US military as being somehow peculiarly evil or is it simply because its a) your country and b) the dominant military power in the modern age and what youre really highlighting is the evil of industrial warfare (not to say that non-industrial warfare is great or anything) and the american-ness of your target is incidental

good question. i'm sure that any dominant military power would inevitably becoming odious simply by virtue of it being the hegemon in a capitalist system, but no, the fact that the military is american is incidental and pretty much any kind of military organization with the "just following orders" excuse is going to be violent to the point that it can be justifiably resisted with force (not that this would accomplish anything)

so theres nothing in your critique of the military that includes anything peculiar to USA, like its racial politics for example, that isn't packaged with a general critique of militarism
