He's willing to overlook the irredeemable things done in service because it doesn't affect him. Its not his people that Platner murdered, its poor Iraqis and Afghans who don't matter. All that matters is that americans get their treats
@Walkrriwnl@MarxianAngel here's hasan openly stating he doesn't care about graham platner possibly commiting war crimes and that he's willing to overlook any irredemable thing platner might have done in the middle east
Re: poor people joining the military discourse coming up again — I am 99% certain that this talking point exclusively comes from comfortable middle-class individuals whose family members were in the military, and who are convinced that living in some degree of precarity = poverty
@WxPolitics15 A lot of peoples defence of Platner has shown how far their politics go. Honestly, that's maybe the one good thing that's come of this, the fact so many people just outed themselves
We were called “ultras” and targeted with harassment for months for pointing out that Graham Platner was an unrepentantly violent man.
Everyone on the left who never saw this coming was blinded by American chauvinism & blind faith in influencers who should have known better.
I remember seeing a bunch of Darializa's comrades in DSA tripping over themselves to condemn this rally after the fact. The usual DSA posters, NYC-DSA leaders & DSA elected officials including AOC distanced themselves from the rally. They should feel embarrassed.
@N0ghl I'm going to lose my mind. In Platners OWN words he said the reason he left the military was because he was going to be promoted out of a combat role. His whole reason for being was bloodlust. He fucking joined BLACKWATER after leaving the military
Ah I see the 'Anti-Zionist' Platner has the endorsement of the guy who was leading the Genocide of Palestinians celebration a few days ago... I'm sure Platner will be leading the fight against Israel in the Senate next!
@TamTamTammy3 The fact that he murdered brown people overseas makes is what makes it nonissue for them. They likely see it as normal which is honestly quite sickening
