Knowing the “muh meritocracy” type of people:
They see white skin color as a sign of competency, they see being male as a sign of competency, they see constant smiling as a sign of competency, they see wearing suits as a sign of competency, they see confidence as a sign of competency.
Many of them are the same people who think a podcast made by the former host of Fear Factor is informed and intellectual.

You posted this same response on 3 different communities. You must be a great conversationalist.
For all these dumbshits talk about military readiness and effectiveness being butchered under Democrats.
Oh the readiness is still part of the plan, it’s just the ‘other’ they’re trying to frame as the new target, trying to fire everyone who won’t put the jackboots on.
I want Pete to go on a 24hr stream and not drink alcohol. Show us you don’t have withdrawal syndrome you sick bastard. Prove to us you are not addicted bro.
no tears for warcriminals
What warcrimes has she committed?
She has joined the US military, no matter what function or personal actions she is part of a terrorist organisation that has murdered millions of innocent civilians.
Firing imperial Navy commanders is a good thing
So its the rebel Navy commanders we want to keep?
Now she is
Yes the Yemeni commanders are the good ones
Guy who washed out of the seals thinks he’s more important than the commander of the Chinese theatre because he was a penis.
that guy sounds familiar.
I’d even say he was a dick
Man am I glad I don’t work for the federal government.
Work your whole life for your country just to get fired by a braindead twerp in the entertainment industry.
And spend the rest of your life living amongst the dipshits responsible for that being possible.
Regular jobs be like that too. It’s normalised.
Imagine believing the military is the “best people”. Libs worshiping imperialism/genocide/MIC is half of the fascist problem.

Hey look, one of the dipshits who either didn’t vote or voted 3rd party and made our current situation possible.
That’s why I have them tagged as dipshit! Don’t even need to read their comments.
We still have a genocidal leader, it ain’t gonna change just because of a new president. What kind of a make belief world are you trying to paint for yourself.
Correction, we have a much more genocidal leader.
🤡
Man, it is hard to find a positive outlook headline lately. I wish it was half as depressing as it is.
Just lobotomize yourself then all these headlines will fill you with glee just like the rest of the lobotomites.
I had this thought while at work today. Wondered if I’d be happier, then realized I’d probably just end up homeless, and stuck in and out of prison for the rest of my life because there is no way I could pay for care like a lobotomized Kennedy.
The thing is, your quality of life can be as bad as it wants, but based on my observations of these creatures, they appear to be happier regardless, simply because they believe these things are good. Like eggs may have tripled in price, but they actually seem happier about that than when the prices were lower, simply due to the change in the person in charge. So it appears like you would also be liberated from your quality of life having any tangible effect on your happiness.
Just a reminder: the Nazis went after the “infirm” first.
Why do you expect to be served that when you aren’t stopping the rise of fascism
Better get a handle on those Sweden Democrats if you don’t want to head the same way the US is.
They are scum but have the decency to pretend not to be nazi
Can’t wait for the conspiracy theory that Hitler is alive to turn out to be true, and he just comes out of hiding, thanks Trump, and takes over.
As much as Trump would like to, that dumb fuck bitch would be 136 by now. That fucker is long dead, even if he did fake his suicide.
“Mein Führer, fascism has taken over the United States government!”
“Excellent news! And who is the strong Aryan superman who leads them?”
Hitler is shown everything about Donald Trump
meh, they’d bond over their love of meth.
Hitler didn’t dodge the draft.
EDIT: Wtf, Trump’s got me defending Hitler :/
And Ford knew how to make a engine in his kitchen sink. Think Musk has ever wound the coils on a motor? They don’t make fascists like they use to.
Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.
40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.
I don’t personally believe in what she believes in, but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country’s Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that’s greater and more important than the needs of a single family.
Maybe it’s clown makeup, but wouldn’t it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?
some sense of purpose in your life
I like to live my life and find purpose in it without shooting brown kids for oil.
She was lied to. She can join us. Big Tent Energy.

What kind of bird, though? Like, we talking a chickadee? A northern flicker?
Ravens are pretty cool. Metal AF.
That took a turn for the based at the end.
10 to 1 the voters didn’t make that choice.
Yep, dems chose a garbage candidate. Then they gonna blame their victims for how long?
dems chose a garbage candidate.
Funny. That garbage candidate was orders of magnitude better than the other option.
Then stupid Americans chose that other option.
Almost like Americans are far more responsible for our current situation than the Democrat party.
Or didn’t choose at all because the other candidate promised “peace” in the middle east, not knowing “peace” is just “lack of military conflicts”, after a period of intensifying them.
Should still hold a party accountable for not listening to its base.
Maybe we could hold them accountable in such a way as to not give fascists power to deconstruct our government and strip our rights. Just a thought.
We do so by changing how we vote so people can vote how they wish while still counting their vote if their preference didn’t win
Are you talking about eligible non-voters?
Meh, she was a willing member of a brutal organisation that terrorized multiple countries in wars of aggression. If you have more reverence for her then for, say, a Russian naval officer, then you don’t have principles, you just have rump nationalism.
edit: damn, didn’t realize there were so many fans of the Russian navy here.
This is about competance and leadership decisions, not moral equivalence fallacies.
Considering what might be coming, maybe it’s better if America has incompetent military leaders. This is a huge mistake that Hitler didn’t make.
Lets hope Trump micromanages his military like Hitler did.
3 competing possibilities
- compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
- incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
- incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)
Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.
you don’t have principles, you just have rump nationalism.
I revere neither the American nor Russian admiral, this isn’t about respect for the individual in question, it’s about the US political class removing competant and capable people because they don’t fit their ideological world view.
I mean, certainly more than a news reporter.
Asking my Trump-voting Navy dad about this, wish me luck fam
I did the same with dad and grandpa…I get it, sorry my dude.
Religion is a hell of a drug, these are guys who were some rambunctious fuckers back in the day and now just vote the party line despite the whole conservative platform being pissing on everything about the Constitution except the 2nd and 13th amendments.
What I’ve found works in exposing their bias and letting you know you’ll never get an honest opinion is reversing the positions.
When news came out in his first term that Trump was having Lou Dobbs on conference call during important meetings I asked my dad “did you hear that Obama used to have Anderson Cooper on conference calls during important meetings?” and naturally he says “of course he would, that’s pretty messed up they shouldn’t allow that kind of stuff.” then I apologized for lying and said “it was actually Lou Dobbs and Trump.” again naturally he then changes his tune “oh, well Lou Dobbs is a respectable journalist, that’s different…”
Ok thanks dad, I now know I can never trust your opinion. It changes based on whether it’s your team or not.
“Did you hear biden’s son in law was the ambassador to Ukraine? And right after he stepped down from his position, Ukraine invested 2 BILLION dollars with his company? Yeah that’s messed up. Oh whoops, it was Jared kushner and Saudi Arabia, my bad.”
I hit a guy with that one. I actually got him to say yeah they should investigate that.
That’s normal though. Obviously not saying it’s okay, but that’s just how our brains work. You’re never going to change someone’s mind by “checkmating” them like that. You’re just going to get them to get angry with you and double down.
Well what did he say
Nothing of value =/
It’s always painful to see people we love, especially parents, just succumb to the propaganda. At this point I think we’re just uncovering that our parents might just be racist and sexist way more than we thought growing up. Like my mom tells me she’s "not racist,’ nah she is racist she just doesn’t realize it.
For context I’m an elder millennial
It is extremely disappointing to get into a shouting match with your parents, who despite wearing the uniform vote for the fucking scum that uniform sent a whole bunch of boats on one June day to quite literally exterminate nazi tyranny. Propaganda and religion have warped some peoples mind to the point they just straight up ignore the cognitive dissonance like an SEP Field
The last decade has taught me my apolitical working class union boomer parents hate bigots and genocide.
Good, I got the opposite lesson for one parent and that same lesson with the other.
How do they feel about one another?
Lol they got divorced after being married for something like 30 years so … That … It wasn’t because of politics though idk I was in my 20s already when they got divorced so I didn’t really care or pry too much.
It’s been 10 hours, I don’t think they survived
14h, he ded
inb4 “she must have been up to something, they wouldn’t just fire her for no reason”
Clearly an unqualified DEI hire, luckily she’ll be replaced by a ‘qualified white male’
/s cause that made me vomit.
Ooo… Do provide an update.
Checking in for later
