@ValgsiyandCNO@number_pizza111 They'd just lose the confidence of the Western European states that feared Soviet influence tbh. Which is why it was always a PR bluff
@r0berto_new_6 I do kinda agree but not while the US is what it is, priming people for ideological indoctrination and not considering the development of those who would be serving (even tho the justification would be concerned with that). The last thing we need is a US IDF. For now, Job Corps!
@AezzieUwU If you know the type of person she's talking abt it's very believable that she had no issues tbh, but "private is private" only holds water until you realize that it doesn't break the hospitality to vote for someone else to do the rude part. So since the cat is out of the bag...
@karlymarx_ There are definitely definitely limits, but leadership or delegate roles are political roles and it's within fair play to be concerned if a candidate hasn't proven themselves trustworthy. I agree, focus on the issues, but you gotta trust the follow through or why bother
@ANS8305@fgthemiserable I am not choosing between a short jargon Xeet or an essay thread no one would read tbh! I'd really rather they understand it's not a thought game. I know real people affected and can count on one hand the people who responded with appropriate severity in their lives. It matters.
@ANS8305@fgthemiserable Someone that scrupulous and methodical would have a better understanding of the impact of their own words (or if not impact, similarity to real, incestuous or abusive people). It's not a secret that striking down a stupid point requires 10x more effort than making one either.
@ANS8305@fgthemiserable There's nothing more destructive than pretending there are no good moral objections to incest lol. This guy knows the objections, probably agrees with one if there's any light in this world, but posts defending the rape factory that is incest π€·π» you could get me down to flogging.
@fgthemiserable Why would I give YOU my best? I'm giving my best to all the people abused and raped by people they considered close. YOU deserve me at my most violent.
@tristanbard0516@petersterne This is where I'm at. I've been anti endorsing Nithya since day one fr, but at this point you ought to have another solution. Plead no contest on Raman and focus on the culpability of the LA leadership in violating norms or something, anything. Our credibility is on the line here
@Smartremarx BDS is the least slogan-y piece of the puzzle here because it runs into actual financial commitments. Theoretically it speaks to the Vote With Our Wallets attitude a lot of Americans have. Currently not so much, but if it WAS more of a slogan maybe it'd be better received.
