  • Do not look at this if you live in Germany. 😐

  • Kkk isn't widespread, organized, and in leadership everywhere anymore. Not even two generations back, this was not true, and even today there are pockets of holdouts.

  • There are tons of contracts in the USN that absolutely guarantee that you will never see anywhere close to combat. All Nukes only serve on Carriers and Subs. Corpsmen (Navy Doctors and nurses) tend the wounded. You KNOW what you are signing up to do before they ever even send you to MEPS for medical testing. The only people that might not have specifically signed up for firing a weapon is whoever launches the missiles that we shoot from our frigates. I don't know if "Gunner" is still a job, but I would assume it is since the Navy has all the big guns.

    I can't speak to what happens in the fleet. I went to Navy Nuke school, learned to operate power plants, and they gave me a new extremely lucrative contract to stay there and teach other people to operate power plants.

    I also cannot speak for The Army, Air Force, or Marines. Though with the first and third, it's hard to imagine that one wouldn't know that they are signing up to potentially kill people.

  • Not true for the USN. They hand you a contract that you sign. You only have to do what is contained in that contract. To change your job they have to get you to sign a new contract. I was never close to combat, and neither would any other Navy Nuke, though they actually left the school for the fleet. I skipped that step. There are tons of non-combat jobs in the US military that will never be anywhere close to combat. Logistics is why our military works.

    That being said, it's worse than you are making it out to be. A lot of the people who signed up for combat roles were looking to kill people before they ever signed the contract.

  • My housemate is still on Twitter because of horse racing. She wants to get the last three race tracks in California shut down for good. Unfortunately all the people who are pro-racing are on Twitter, so if she shoves statistics and death rates on Mastodon or Bluesky they won't see them. They like the Nazi bar and aren't going anywhere else.

    I don't think she still has her checkmark though.

  • Joe Biden warns that Donald Trump will try to ‘steal’ midterm elections

  • Slow walking the prosecution of Trump and putting a partisan hack in charge of said prosecution?

    Nah, fuck Biden. He did some good, but the bad he did wipes all that shit clean off the table. Just to be clear, I voted for Bernie (16), Biden(20), and Kamela(24). He could have had a decent legacy, but he just had to double down on the status quo.

  • You're not wrong, but I am reminded of the refrain, "it is easier for most people to imagine the end of the world, than the end of capitalism." The only way I can see is getting to the point that we can abolish capitalists is to regulate them back into "reasonable" (<$50,000,000 total wealth) levels of financial power.

  • Trump Just Made the World Much More Dangerous

    Jump

  • I don't think he was even considering running at that point. Hillary and Bill didn't suggest that he run on the Republican ticket until 2015-2016. I still think his plan was to lose and get richer on books and interviews complaining about losing. His reaction, and the reaction of his family, on election night 2016 wasn't one of happiness and relief.

  • Biden's position on Gaza wasn't much better than what's going on now. He outright refused to turn off the tap of dollars and weapons. Genocide Joe worked hard to wipe out the rest of his legacy to be a good Zionist lapdog.

  • Federally funded elections. No donations. No fundraising. If you get more than 2.5% of the vote at the local level, you get federal funding of a specific set amount for future campaigns at the level you are at, and one level higher.

    Also no lobbying, no superpacs, no tips, and no stock trading for any politician.

    If politicians want to give themselves a raise, it is contingent upon them raising the minimum wage at the same time.
