President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.

This isn’t Vietnam. No one was forced into being a mass murderer for American Imperialism. And even then you could be like Muhammad Ali and tell the government to go fuck themselves.
Drive Uber, be a prostitute, join a gang. Literally anything is more honorable than being a part of the worlds largest terrorist organization. And until people start treating it like that people will still continue to join because it’s “honorable”. Stop honoring it. Because it’s significantly more honorable to be a sex worker (or nearly anything else) than it is to join the military. But for some reason our society has a problem with one and not the other.
You can feel sad for the soldiers tricked into dying to fight wars for rich people. But to act like that’s “honorable” is a fucking joke.
They were in Lithuania training none so far as I’m aware are war criminals so far as I’m aware so you’re simply assuming everyone in a uniform is a straight up murderer and deserves to die. You lack awareness, nuance and basic compassion, showing the deaf respect isn’t for the dead it’s for me and you to say what kind of person we are. You apparently are just an absolutely shitty human being.
Amazingly stupid.
Ps no one asked you to act like it’s honorable at all, we’re saying the president who leads the country you loathe so much needs to show the dead of their making respect.
You’re so goddamn ego driven you can’t figure out literally none of this is about you and your amazingly selfish self.
There is no nuance for being a part of a terrorist organization like the US military.
I doubt you would have the same reasoning if it was an “innocent” member of ISIS. You just like to pretend there is nuance when there is not.
No one would exclude a “desk job” at ISIS. These people enable the structures of terrorism whether they are participating in violent acts directly or not.
Same goes for the desk jobs of the US military. There is no nuance in joining an organization who’s entire purpose is to terrorize the third world.
I think you’re confusing having consistent moral compass with somehow being “selfish”? Because I’ve literally said nothing about myself. Sounds like you’re projecting.
There is, you’re being an especially stupid mouthpiece for ideology you hardly understand.
I would feel exactly the same way, I don’t want anyone dead and I show them all respect in don’t care who they are. It’s not about them, it’s about me and what I do that determines my character, not theirs.
They’re quite different, neither are without flaw but saying they’re the same is outright idiotic.
The US military existed before the country itself did and at that time we had no involvement in the middle east and wouldn’t for around 60 years. Hyperbole is an pretty stupid option when you’re making an already emotional argument based entirely on opinion.
Your compass only points to you hence selfish, it’s not about you or your opinion on America you selfish and apparently farcicaly literate twat.
What part of what I said was emotional? I feel like people just say this in order to not address what is actually being said. You simply say “you’re being emotional” and then you don’t have to address your own contridictions.
I’m pretty clear in pointing to the terrorism of both ISIS and the US military. I’m not using “emotion” I’m pointing to the material actions of these organizations that result in the deaths of innocent people. And if we were considering scale the US military would be far far worse. Even if we adjusted for the time they existed.
You are clearly the one trying to appeal to emotions. Pointing to the deaths of individual soldiers of these organizations. Like because they are humans in a uniform we have to “respect or honor” them. That is extremely emotional and not at all based in judging them by their material actions.
You can understand the circumstances that led these people to be in their roles in a terrorist organization. But you definitely do not have to “honor” or “respect” them. To do so is to endorse the material circumstances that lead to them being a part of that terrorist organization to begin with.
You’re really missing the point here and keep sidetracking by trying to say I’m “being emotional”. When you are clearly the only one appealing to emotions.
You’re literally making an emotional argument, “terrorist” isn’t a factually based claim as one man’s terrorists are anothers freedom fighters. You really aught not to be a grammer Nazi on top of a bigot, it’s not a good look.
It’s literally the subject of the article, not terrorism, not war.
No dude, you’re missing the point.
Tesla protestors, terrorists or protestors? If they die should I show them no respect. Draw some lines, let’s see what kind of escher on crack artwork it comes out as.
Again, you shifted the goal post so now the conversation has to be about the definition of “terrorism”. That’s fine. We can have that conversation. But that is not at all “emotional”.
You keep assigning “emotional” as a way to avoid the point and then trying to change the topic.
It’s exhausting. And it’s a sign that you don’t want to actually argue in good faith. You’ve gone full “debate lord”. Goodnight mate.
You used the term, it isn’t based in fact but rather opinion which is an emotional basis. Terrorism = bad is inherently an appeal to emotion.
