Glad the US is around to keep installing dictators so nice abuela doesn't win .

Too bad the US has so much control over the social media there.

Every. Single. One. I've met —and I used to be very active politically, often in tandem with Veterans for Peace.

While, at first glance, this may imply a certain bias, but my consecutive experience of that test pool's scope and yet congruent views on war at every level surprised me. And, it's not even just a "yea" to a vote, each one had nuanced influences behind their view.

To the point, that was during Desert Shield, and I've solo traveled the world for months at a time in the years between —yet, I've still not met (or even heard a friend mention) a pro-war vet in over 35 years.

That's not true, I'm afraid. Anti-war vets have a tendency to stand out because they are anti-war and because they make for the most effective and threatening anti-war activists (threatening to the status quo, that is). People like Smedley Butler and Scott Camil come to mind.

But let's not fool ourselves... they do not represent the majority of vets. I grew up in a place where war vets were a dime a dozen, and if any of them were anti-war they sure as hell never talked or acted like it.

warhawks.

The term you're looking for is chickenhawks.

Probably true, too bad a majority of US veterans voted for Trump in 2024.

Not that Harris would have necessarily been a president of peace anyway, but it's still interesting to watch your veterans vote for the veteran hating warhawks.

But I'm not from the USA anyway, made this based on conversations in my country, where a majority of veterans are very very much pro war and are currently massively supporting an ongoing rearmament project.

Thats what stencils are for

Kinda sexist, doncha think?

ETA: /s because someone apparently wasn't getting the joke.

Become straight edge. Problem solved.

You claim to care about gish-galloping

Yet I've never seen you concerned about motor-boating.

I bet you don't even care about Sudan

You claim to care about sealioning

You only talk about concern trolling.

Sounds like you do not care about sealioning.

textbook concern trolling

Neoliberals when you bring up the Palestinian Genocide.

I would push it for free

Where I'm drawing, you don't need eyes to read.

Why is there black text on an almost black background

Perfect, an opportunity to explain in great detail what it means and to tell you how to feel about my explanation.

It is a bit ironic though, that the overwhelming majority of people don't actually know what the word means

That would be such a stupid thing to do!

Anti-fascism is the worst product of fascism

Accelerationists fail to consider the tendency for rate of profit to fall which ultimately fucks everyone over (causes crises, necessity for wage and welfare cuts, war, etc) and can't be reformed or voted away.

Or in other words, accelerationism is just lib LARP
