Yes but for some fucking reason people think that this means we must baby military personnel and what horrors they have done in order to convince them the left is good.
The only military personnel that are ever likely to become leftists are the military personnel who see it all and react with horror and guilt then dedicate themselves to its opposition.
Like I said a long time ago the last time Lobster Mercenary was being talked about, I’m not asking every vet to take up like Mike Prysnor but he is useful as a litmus. You should aspire to be more like Prysnor or at least openly and proudly approve of Prysnor’s anti-imperialist vet identity. I don’t think Platner would. I think his whole selling point was redeeming American empire and the crimes it committed to rally the libs etc, and my whole conspiracy theory angle too
Whatever I’m so glad I do t have to give a shit about this fucko anymore
Edit: the “whatever” seems dismissive and I don’t mean that to you, Awoo, just about Platner and this whole shitshow
I mean Platner’s platform was that America should stop fighting stupid wars that don’t benefit everyday Americans. He also ran on increasing military pay, expanding the navy, and increasing veteran benefits. It’s pretty clear he is 100% in favour of American wars that do benefit everyday Americans. He doesn’t want to stop or even slow down American imperialism, he just wants a bigger piece of the pie, and that’s always been extremely obvious. American liberals just genuinely don’t care how many poor brown people their military kills as long as they get their treats. The fact that he opportunistically condemned Israel really shouldn’t be convincing anyone given how much he loved personally killing Muslims.

I’m so past disappointed I’m just numb and jaded to that fact. To put a word to it they are “maladjusted” to the current reality and they imperil us all with their bullshit.
Now I’d actually watch the live stream of that, or his cool as fuck wife Abby Martin, they’re probably the strongest or most known domestic anti imperialists I know who actually tie the environment to the war industry, an elephant in the room billions of libs ignore

I would love to hear what Prysner thinks actually. I wish someone like Hasan would have him on and ask.
