  • Oh fuck I wrote a lengthy comment on mobile and it got lost without getting saved to drafts.

    Tldr I guess is that growing up I used to wonder how Hitler ever became accepted. Then in 2016 Trump won, when I thought it impossible, a meme candidate. My belief in Americans was crushed. Now again. And shameless genocide going on in Palestine. And Russia coldly invaded Ukraine.

    Growing up in the oughts as a teen, Obama as president, things didn’t seem this worrying. The drone strikes morally dubious, but not worldwide threat concerning.

    Now I don’t wonder anymore how Hitler got to be so accepted. Slowly. Step by step. With each of Trump*s elections and these conflicts, my belief in a lot of humanity decreases, and my passion about changing things in creases, yet resources to do anything about it dwindle.

    Ugh the first one was so much better grumble grumble


  • Exactly the fucking problem, I feel like.

    Especially when basically the biggest party we had to go against them is now proverbially sucking Putin’s cock.

    So…

    Yeah. I fucking hate war mongering, but I can’t ignore the crazies. And I live like less 6 hours away from St. Petersburg by car, in Finland. I mean technically Russia would be dumb to nuke us, but also if there’s a lot of nukes flying to St. Petersburg, that wouldn’t be too good.

    Idk man I know we shouldn’t doom too much over this but I’m anxious at home and it is a real thing, however improbable. I mean Putin might be off his fucking nut, but he did serve in the military and should be quite aware of what nuclear war would be like. Which is not something I’d say for Trump.











  • No I don’t think it did reignite a debate.

    Stop saying that to justify his crazy shit.

    “Has made fighting more complicated.”

    I was in the army (Finnish, not American) with women and there were no problems.

    not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units.

    Armor units as in armored vehicles? Women are great for tank crews, what the hell? Well I mean at least as useful as men, that it, but like made me think of Soviet female tank drivers or smth.

    “Who’s going to replace them? Men? And we’re having trouble recruiting men into the Army right now,” said Lory Manning,

    Oh, Lory, unfortunately these aren’t people who listen to — or are even capable of — reason.
