    My guy, the US is not even remotely aligned with my fucking interests, in fact, it is the single most threatening entity in my life and always has been. I haven’t gone a day without it reminding me that it wants to eradicate me and every person like me from this Earth for the benefit of some fucking white men and their bootlickers (et toi). I do not give a fuck about some privileged asshole mansplaining the AI summary they just read, I know you don’t understand what the hell you’re talking about. If you did, you’d actually know the historical reasons why you don’t work with libs because they are always more inclined toward fascism than they are deconstruction for exactly this kind of bullshit. You are not in a position to fucking talk for people.

    If you can’t understanding how the imperial military is fundamentally incompatible with the politics of anti-imperialists, just smoke some skunk weed and whine about PlayStation discs or something like the other whiney uncs. Fuck’s sake.

      Mi amigo, you are still responding to something I never said, and are completely missing the point.

      “The US”, “the military”. Those are groups.

      “Andrew the sheet metal tech”, “Tina the line cook”. Those are individuals.

      You’re responding about groups to my post about individuals.

      If Andrew and Tina are a tech/cook in the Army, then they both swore an oath that obligates them to defend against enemies like Donald Trump. It doesn’t matter that you disapprove of Tina’s employer. If Tina is ever assigned to cook for Air Force One, then she’ll be uniquely suited to become a global hero by taking that oath seriously. It doesn’t matter what you think of the oath, it matters what Tina does.

      Do you see the difference? The Army (group) is not your ally. Tina (individual) can be. We can encourage Tina to do what’s right even if we know her employer never will.

      Why are you so opposed to that? Or rather, what do you seek to accomplish by opposing that? Would you have Tina shy away from her oath if she’s presented with the opportunity to act on it? That doesn’t serve you. It does serve Trump. Extra fuck’s sake.
