Wait. What’s the deal with vanguard? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone harp on them

There are containers that will transcode immediately upon import if that’s what you prefer.

While I agree with your sentiment, I disagree with the overreaching arc of it.

I’d also like to note that you’re taking about the person who actually committed the crime rather than someone who is only connected to the crime by the uniform they wear, regrdless of their hand in the action.

A cook or nurse or on the other side of the planet from the atrocity can hardly be blamed for what the infantryman did on the individual level, or what the military has done on an organizational level. Furthermore, you don’t even know if they oppose those actions or are fighting against it in their own way until you talk to them. That’s the point I’m trying to make that others

If you fail to see and acknowledge this, then we have nothing more to discuss.

That said, extremism should be fought, no matter who it’s coming from. I have plenty of right wing friends I’ve cut contact with due to their extremism. And if I had friends from the left that were as crazy as some of the people I’ve seen here, I’d do the same.

Extremism only leads to more extremism and more fighting and more death. I’d prefer to avoid that if possible.

So you’re going to disrespect and blame the individual that had nothing to do with it because of the actions of others?

I’m not saying that you should let the organization as a whole off the hook, but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is?

Are you going to put the medic that helped the injured innocent in front of the firing line because other people bombed the area?

The big issue I have with your statements, and those of the OP are that they are extremist. It’s possible to have a nuanced conversation about it without resorting to the extremes. No wonder the pot keeps calling the kettle black

Yea, but neither is blind DISrespect. There’s a lot of examples of bad and there’s a lot of examples of good. Kinda fucked up to lump an entire group into one side or the other… Don’t ya think?

Bet I get blasted for this take.

Good lord… Don’t tell me more. I can’t roll my eyes any harder than I already am…

Oh gotcha. Thanks for the response. Hopefully we as a country figure it out before it’s too late. My Facebook feed doesn’t give me much hope though…

Oooh… I did watch that video, just must have missed that part of it with all the other nonsense that went on in that meeting. It was embarrassing for sure

OOTL… What’s with the thank you meme?

Well shit… Thanks for the heads up!

A martyr?? You’re not a martyr. You’re a fool.

Then I’d hate to see how painful your death is going to be…

Nice to know you’re ok with being part of the problem.

In your short comment you went from “literally nothing” to “something” to “very little” has happened. Which is it?

Just because not much has affected you individually doesn’t mean that nothing has happened and that other people aren’t affected.

Don’t let the world descend into chaos before you finally decide to give a damn. By then it’s already too late

We’re doing the thing! Yay!

Oooohhh… Yea. I missed that bit of context I guess lol makes way more sense now.

Wut?

Ok. I’ll bite. Uh… What?

They haven’t gotten that part of their lie figured out yet. Give them some time, they’re only working on two collective brain cells, afterall.
