@logic_and_lifts@Chadtesui@k4229637@JolinaJasmine Well seeing as we were never invaded in WWII, no, that isn’t what I think
American interests. Corporate, imperialist interests. Not freedom. Freedom is the excuse for all the warmongering. It’s lie that’s been fed to you and you ate that shit up without question like a good boy
@logic_and_lifts@Chadtesui@k4229637@JolinaJasmine Do you actually think Korea, Persian Gulf, and post 9/11 conflicts like Afghanistan and Iraq were about protecting American freedoms?
I never said the military doesn’t do more. But most of what we do is in the name of imperialism and corporate profits, not “freedom”
@logic_and_lifts@Chadtesui@k4229637@JolinaJasmine We haven’t fought in a war to defend freedom since WWII. Modern day vets didn’t build anything to do with freedom
If you want to be celebrated (which you clearly do), then get to work organizing. That’s how Pride started. The government sure as hell didn’t create it, people did
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy I’d never say “Just be confident bro” because that isn’t actually helpful. Going to therapy would be
I’m sorry, but I just don’t believe that you’ve worked through all your trauma and insecurity when you keep bringing it up as an excuse for your mindset
I think you’re in denial
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy Knowing your issues is not the same thing as dealing with them emotionally. You still let your trauma and insecurities dominate your mindset, as very evident by this entire conversation and your worldview
Telling you to actually deal with your issues isn’t toxic positivity
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy Your mindset is the problem. Not your “material reality”
You won’t even consider that it’s your mindset. That’s how fucking broken you are
And no, going to therapy to get help for your trauma and insecurity is not the same as “toxic positivity”. Are you fucking joking?
@logic_and_lifts@JazzInYoFace@k4229637@JolinaJasmine Says the guy who whines about Pride while refusing to do any real work to celebrate veterans
You’d rather complain than do anything because you don’t actually care about celebrating veterans, you just hate gay people
It’s pathetic. Get to work or shut the fuck up
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy The irony here is palpable
Please see a therapist. I hope you can get the help you need to deal with all your trauma and insecurity, because I promise you that you can’t do it by yourself
But I won’t hold my breath. You seem intent on not improving your own mindset. It’s sad
@logic_and_lifts@JazzInYoFace@k4229637@JolinaJasmine Corporations would support vets more if they saw more profit in it. But since veterans themselves don’t take the time to organize like Pride does and make a big deal of Veterans month, they see no need. Corporate Pride sucks btw. Most of us hate it
Your hatred is blinding you
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy Who said those aren’t traits to make up a good personality? You’re just making shit up that I never said
I said specifically being *smart*, *honest*, and *talented* alone isn’t enough because you can still be an ass even with all that. You added the rest
You are exhausting
@logic_and_lifts@JazzInYoFace@k4229637@JolinaJasmine You clearly want a parade because you’re bitching about it right now
If you don’t want one, then why complain about Pride? It isn’t a zero sum game. Pride existing doesn’t take away from vets
Most people served for the benefits not because they believed in something bigger lmao
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy What does this have to do with making jokes? Making jokes doesn’t mean you have a good personality lmao
Do you genuinely think I make that comment because you aren’t being funny in this conversation?
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy You’ve brought up your trauma multiple times in this argument. You clearly have not dealt with it
I don’t have to see your body language to understand that. THAT is basic psychology
Go. To. Therapy. That would actually help you get out of this mental prison you’ve built
@logic_and_lifts@JazzInYoFace@k4229637@JolinaJasmine Most veterans don’t give a fuck about veterans month. Gay people are about pride and therefore they organize
If you want more people to care about veterans month, then you should start organizing
I don’t give a fuck about veterans month as a veteran so I don’t organize
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy I’m sorry, but based on everything you’ve said and your entire attitude, I don’t believe you. At all. Your entire personality reeks of unprocessed trauma and insecurity, neither of which make for good company, especially when you refuse to deal with it
@THE_ETERNAUT@BeninWarrior24@tokyodessx@missus_wormy It’s sounds like you have a massive amount of trauma that you have not dealt with emotionally and instead of doing that, you’re picking one aspect to focus on (the fact they were not single or virgins)
Seriously dude, see a fucking therapist
