Pener Kropoopkin posted:Most of those men were also conscripted. But the bigger point is soldiers aren't calling for wars, cowards with comfortable writing jobs are the ones calling for war. Still to this day, the most real life Chud person I ever spent any time with, nice enough, but completely MAGA 'hey black people watch me be offensive isn't it funny' energy all the time. Anyway constantly talked about doing manly things, his father took him hunting and he killed a bear, and learned to throw axes. One day we're on his supercharged jet ski at his parents lake side mtv cribs mansion and I'm on the back and the rear end in a top hat is showing off. We hit a wave we created and went tumbling, the jetski was upside down and we landed near it. The motherfucker started hyperventeling on me, like legtimiately I was more scared of him pulling me down than I was drowning, we had life jackets, we didn't hit the jetski, both breathing but this dude just won't calm down. I let him wrap around my back and he calmed down and was able to flip the jetski over. Didn't say anything else about it, he never mentioned the manly bullshit too much after that around me. But I still remember that to this day, he later went on to gently caress me out of about $45k I had in storage. So ya gently caress that guy.

The best part of that Sweden tweet is ending it by stating "without us", which implies he's including himself in those past events. I could likely beat Sweden's rear end with one hand tied behind my back while smoking a cigarette.

No. 1 Apartheid Fan posted:yea absolutely I deal with PTSD and while I don't use coloring books, I understand the appeal. The thing of it is, when you're triggered, it can be really, really difficult to break your mind out of the feedback loop of anxiety. There's a variety of techniques, and one is to do something that requires focus of both mind and body. Coloring books require a continual focus to stay inside the lines and asks you to make repeated and frequent choices about which colors to use, which spot to color next, while also being safe and low key. It allows a cheap and easy way to break out of the feedback loop for a lot of people. The basic idea is that being triggered isn't just remembering a bad event, it's also reliving it in a very visceral way via the body's autonomic systems. The trigger brings up a memory, which causes the body to react with various hormones, the hormones make you remember how your body felt, which brings up more memories, which cause more hormones, and I think you get the idea... The coloring book breaks the cycle by pulling the brain out of the memory component and forcing you to focus on something else, and the physical act of manipulating the marker/colored pencil/crayon/whatever helps give the body something else to focus on other than being keyed up with anxiety. Personally, I use games of solitaire, but the principle is the same.

Morphix posted:But the bigger point is soldiers aren't calling for wars, cowards with comfortable writing jobs are the ones calling for war. I've met current and former soldiers who are genuinely itching to go to war and/or "protect our country from our enemies" (usually that means Muslims), saying things like "the yellow vests won't change things, it'll be us green/sand vests". They're also very much gun nuts and basically want Europe to be like the US, in regards to gun laws etc. They'll also usually have the full chud like package on Facebook, including Trump, Le Pen, AFD, UKIP and Capitalism. And of course they've never had any actual contact with Muslims or immigrants in general, other than maybe being stationed in the Middle East like one time, never leaving camp, and of course through right-wing media and social media filth. I try to keep as far away as possible from people like that, but they're friends of friends (of friends), so it's not always possible. KozmoNaut has issued a correction as of 13:59 on Feb 3, 2019 |

They're also very much gun nuts and basically want Europe to be like the US, in regards to gun laws etc. Did they actually see any combat or are they just desk jockeys? Because I'm not gonna claim that certain soldiers don't get addicted to war, like Chris Hedges has wrote about, it's a drug like nothing else, life and death are so closely intertwined that normal life feels hollow and meainginless. The choices you make matter, life and death are literally on the line. Hard to go back to normal life for some people I've heard just from that standpoint. But I think that's a tiny minoirity of the whole, the bigger section of soldiers who talk all this bullshit are the ones who wish they say action but didn't and feel ashamed about it. At least from the small selection of soldiers I've interacted with. But I also worked in a retirement facility through college and was friend with a lot of Korean and Vietnam vets, and I think that might of colored my experience a lot about thinking about war. Because the older generation certainly didn't want more of the poo poo.

All the stories I've heard them tell involve loving around on base, standing on pointless patrol/checkpoint duty or similar poo poo. Either they don't have any actual combat stories, or they don't want to talk about them (which I also completely understand not wanting to talk about).

More to the point though, most of the stuff produced so far is basically a cut and paste of their US rhetoric with a few references changed, it seems really off. That said, if they get a few more british people to start crafting their message and they keep all that sweet right wing dark money flowing in, who knows....
