how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?

HashtagGirlboss posted:

I find the entire culture of veteran worship creepy as gently caress. There is nobody more entitled and pissy as a former troop.

this applies doubly to any troop claiming to be a leftist. they think they deserve instant forgiveness without doing any sort of reconciliation or self crit, and also - shockingly!! - feel like they should be catered to in any messaging and be eligible to hold leadership positions in orgs without years of demonstrated loyalty and dependability.

honestly it makes more sense to afford these considerations to cops who quit for moral or political reasons rather than troops who did their time and are sucking down benefits. without a dishonorable discharge (and a record for going AWOL or destroying armed forces materiel) they're still on the military payroll, and thus can't be trusted

probably the best human being i know i met after he'd actually tried to change it from the inside. didn't work, of course, but mad respect for trying

straight up an irl paladin, that man. only ever saw him get angry at someone once and it was like seeing that "are you going to be what it takes to break my oath?" greentext happen in person

based on "Gold Star Gay", it is a family who has never had sex with another family of the opposite gender

What are the two genders of families? Nuclear and extended? Traditional and mixed? Abusive and less abusive?

I checked and it’s basically “some people in Chile don’t like it” and “the constitutional assembly is too left wing”, they seem Very Concerned about the future of lithium mining and that indigenous protections might “undermine national cohesion”

That was the era when the evil plundering plutocrats actually did look like the fat cat and also they understood Marxism and just used it for evil. We're like 2 full generations now into the Austrian era which has been a path from the "premier thinkers" of the philosophy have gone from the manhole comic to not even being smart enough to understand what the manhole comic is saying.

The entire system of NGOs is inherently built on the idea that minorities are incapable of helping themselves and it's low key inherently racist and Problematic. How many libs donate to UNICEF or the red cross or even doctors without borders thinking of starving stereotypes in Africa that have their roots both materially and intellectually in colonialism?

The same is true for nonprofits but I work for one so nuh uh

people were mad that a white lady who had spent 20 years studying cooking techniques and traveling the world to do research into local cuisines wrote a book about dumplings, traditionally associated with but by no means exclusive to eastern/east Asian culinary arts, and noodles

keffals did a troll answer to a iirc Filipino blogger/journalist/influencer (I forget which) asking why this white lady was allowed to write a book about dumplings and people think that means she's racist
