I love America. I joined the army to serve. ... Well, if I'm being honest I joined for the GI Bill and vocational training, but I wouldn't have if I didn't believe in and love my country.
But sometimes love means having to stage an intervention when the object of your love is on a self-destructive path. And fuck, are we ever. Self destructive because we are embracing hate of everything that made this country great to begin with.
I love what this country has achieved, but now it's run by entitled pricks who never had to bear the cost of that greatness. And so, painfully and wasteful, we will have to shoulder the burden of becoming great again. Really great, not the MAGA/Temu version.
But I love America enough to be part of that process.
How does it feel to have helped been a part of an effort to blow browns up in foreign lands for vocational training? Was it worth it to help your fellow soldiers invade another country and murder hundreds of people? What war did you fight in? Can you sleep at night? Fascist piece of shit.
Nothing I did supported any effort like that. The things I worked on might have helped to reduce the mines in brown or foreign lands though.
The world isn't black and white. To participate in any society is to participate in things you disagree with. If I manufactured car engines or computer chips I'd have contributed more to those efforts. The important thing is I fight to change the parts I disagree with.
I never deployed so none.
Like a baby.
Said to someone who has said, "I am antifa, come at me bro."
Welp, people gonna people.
Yeah you are a fascist because you are currently proud of joining a fascist genocidal army to help with its continued existence. The mines were probably in the ground in the first place because of your shit hole country and the army your proudly served in either directly or indirectly causing the conflict. If you truly want to be anti fascist you need to come to terms with this and the fact that your country is an evil genocidal settler nation, and then decide what to do from there. One things for sure you definitely won't be so proud about "serving" anymore.
I can love my country and want it to be better. I can be proud to serve my people and fight for better leadership.
You served your ruling class and shareholders by helping clean the floors of the SS headquarters. You fought for suffering and genocide in the third world.
