    Same. The only thing they seem to want is more benefits for veterans AKA themselves because they believe they deserve more compensation for their mass murder.

      Historically there’s been a lot of veterans who were radicalized by their service, notably a lot of veterans who joined the Black Panthers after Vietnam.

      I personally know a few veterans who serve in Iraq and Afghanistan that are great organizers who do classes at our socialist gun club. I can bet they have done more than you to aid the leftist movement by helping create mutual aid and defense networks for leftist minority groups in the American South.

      For a less anecdotal example Michael Prysner is a foundational member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

      The black and white absolutism that people like to flaunt around here is just immature, and reeks of privilege.

        On September 19, 2021, Prysner interrupted former U.S. President George W. Bush’s speech in Beverly Hills, California.[18][19] Prysner demanded an apology for lying about weapons of mass destruction, connections to 9/11, and causing the deaths of a million Iraqis. He stated “You sent me to Iraq” and “My friends are dead because you lied.”[19]

          Does your brain only think in logical fallacy?

          You can be upset at you and your friends being exploited and the deaths of millions of people as well. He didn’t just speak about himself and his friends…

          Also, there is no information about a “pact of silence”. You are using a quote from a meme account who is quoting an editorialized threads account as a citation.

          Also sorry if I find a dude who founded an anti war coalition and one of the most successful anti Zionist leftist party in America more credible than badempanda an imperialist apologist and transphobe.

              Your entire argument is based solely on attacking peoples character and ignoring arguments…

              You havent made a single rebuttal to any point I’ve made other than responding with logical fallacy. To be honest it wasn’t even an ad hominem, it’s a legitimate question at this point. It’s like you were built in a lab and designed to make illogical arguments.

              Even this rebuttal is a logical fallacy. You are accusing me of not addressing arguments as a way to ignore the argument!

              I have countered every response, claim by claim… What are you talking about?
