Most people who actually saw real combat don't want to go back. There's exceptions of course but its pretty easy to tell who got drafted or recruited into a cushy job.

Yeah that's what never made sense to me about McCain. After what he went through, seeing war as the answer to half the international problems the US had was bizarre.

I'm not surprised but a freeper asking why shiites are in Iraq's parliament just makes me realize how little people pay attention to even basic details about a country the U.S. has been in since 2003.

I think thats kinda no true scotsmanning that feminists cant have lovely values. At this point i think TERF is one of those acronyms that transcends the original acronym and people see it as just a word now. Agonizing over a replacement just muddies the water as people have to explain a whole new acronym.

I guess to me it's because I associate "radical feminist" with like, a hippie in the 60s burning her bra. Saying someone is a radical feminist as a way of associating them with trans-hate ruins the term. Either way thanks for explaining.

In this case it means a feminist who rejects the idea of gender and sees it entirely as a social construct, and claims that the oppression of women is entirely rooted in their biology. It does come out of the 60s and the battle for birth control, abortion rights, open discussion of menstruation as a thing that happens, and the idea that a woman can cut her hair short, wear trousers, grow body hair, drive a truck, and still be a real woman, which is valuable with the renewed attacks on those, but there's a glaring hole in how you talk about trans rights within that framework, and for TERFs the answer is "really shittily".

Saying someone is a radical feminist as a way of associating them with trans-hate ruins the term. Either way thanks for explaining. "Radical" doesnt mean "good". There are good forms of radical feminism, but TERF specifically is calling out a specific school of radical feminism that isn't (i.e. a reactionary one). Though I think its letting mainstream off the hook because I don't think trans exclusion is as "radical" as we wanna believe, it does make an attempt to ostracize trans exclusionary people as a fringe belief. Also I absolutely believe a lot of feminists from the 60s are TERFs now, because trans people don't fit into the schema they developed and never evolved since then.

The reason to keep using terf is that they think it's a slur, even though it's the term they chose for themselves. And it is, but just because there's no way to describe them in a way that won't disgust a decent person because they are trash people, with a trash ideology based on the exclusion of one of the most vulnerable populations in a cloying attempt to gain the approval of their oppressors.

Freep got bit by the Qanon bug really bad about a year ago. The freepers trying to spread the Good Word of Q were laughed out of most threads, though, so they have their own daily Q threads that they stick to. They're still surprisingly big; the one for today is up to 161 posts. However, most posts have little or nothing to do with Q - a few posters spread around Q memes or images that they find, and the rest of the thread-goers just seem to make idle conversation. The amount of True Q Believers on freep is relatively low, but the average freeper does buy into the whole "Trump is a super brain genius that who has a secret plan for everything" part of Qanon, even if they don't believe in all the secret sealed warrants and Ruth Bader Ginsberg clones.

Assuming Trump didn't become a star I honestly wonder how long he would last posting on Freep before getting zotted by JimRob.
