    You allegedly signed up when only the most tuned in people expected a war.

    These fuckers are signing up when we just got done a forever war and are threatening to invade Canada. And the military is increasingly being used against the US domestically.

    So fuck off with that “understand where the SS are coming from” bullshit.

      Say you’ve got a young relative or some one you are mentoring who is considering this kind of decision?

      How would you expect to convince them to make a different decision if you yourself don’t understand or can’t empathize with why they are making a decision?

      Its a 🪱 🧠 level of understanding to think that understanding why some one makes the decisions they make or has the thoughts they have indicates in any way that you agree with them. Understanding why someone makes a decision they make is not equivalent to agreeing with them, and its a mental deficient to avoid understanding someone because you don’t agree with them. Its precisely because you don’t agree with them that you should strive to understand them.

        No. I do understand them.

        They are willingly signing up to hurt other people for their own benefit. Their neighbors to the North and their friends and family at home.

        There is nothing more that needs to be discussed. It is not “mental deficient” to not spend time listening to a republican talk about how trans people should die and it is not “mental deficient” to not keep telling someone oppressing others for an orange rapist is evil.
