Unless there is something I’m not seeing they lashed out at soldiers, specifically soldiers that served the U.S., without any consideration of if anyone here was one and you took it personally.
Do you take the same stance when people proclaim their utter distain and hatred for Americans or have you just not seen that yet?
I don’t have to justify myself to you. I’m deeply ashamed of the fact I joined the military because I thought it was an ordinary job, and I resigned the second I realized it wasn’t. But I don’t have to listen to tell me to kill myself without reacting to it like a human.
You don’t have to justify anything to me yet chose to end the comment with it anyway.
A person made a broad statement of absolute loathing of imperial enforcers (like this entire site does with the IDF) and you felt bad this treating it like a direct attack cuz you once were one. Then you attacked them for it.
I think eternal torture in hellfire is a bit much applied to me personally yeah. You would react similarly I think, even if yeah they’re probably right that I should put a gun in my mouth. I got over that urge years ago thankfully
I haven’t reacted that way when I’ve seen many such things said about Americans, and even if I think it’s a bit much, I just don’t engage. I especially don’t tell them to fuck themselves since I understand that their distain for Americans almost comes from a human reaction to the death and suffering from the imperialist nature of this state that everyone here benefits from and many Americans have blood thirstily contributed towards, either actively or passively.
I don’t react that way when I see women wish death or other things upon men for the very active abuse many commit, and many more passively contribute to because I understand it’s not directly targeting me as a singular individual and instead the role a part of my identity plays into their long-lasting and continued oppression.
So no, I don’t think I’d react that way because I historically haven’t. The worst I would do is try to engage in dialogue or, as I recommended previously and have done myself before, block and move on if it is in some way bad for my mental health.
Fucking Christ this is some cracker bullshit, solidarity is not solidarity if it ends the moment someone oppressed says things you don’t like. I don’t give a fuck about what you think you deserve, deal with a therapist for that, I have a problem with the reaction in the first place; it was cop shit followed by the same shit liberal white guilt is made of the moment you were pressed on it.
If you wanna feel bad for yourself, that’s between your, your therapist, and any higher power you believe in. But don’t be surprised when your solidarity is questioned when you display none.
“Burn in hell” is a very brief and off-the-cuff sentiment. “I hope all X burn in hell” is not a personal attack until you insert yourself into it by actively claiming X as an important/relevant part of yourself, and adding details to a 3-syllable dismissal.
It’s a stranger on the internet, a 1-month old account saying this. There’s no reason to get worked up about it.
Wouldn’t an ex-evangelical have a firm belief that hell ain’t real, and have more of an aversion to the religious aspect than the personal aspect?
It’s funny how they prepare you for all kinds of physical challenges in basic, but they don’t teach a simple life skill like shrugging off a modest verbal offense from a stranger.

So your thinking is fantasies and daydreams.
I know I deserve to burn in hell, just had an emotional reaction to being told to stick a beretta in my mouth, that’s all this was

If it helps with context I’m an ex evangelical and hell is a really sensitive subject with me
