Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah, fuck veterans...amiright, guys? We want to celebrate "victory", not deadbeat losers...right? /s
You do know you’re posting on Hexbear right? And we do actually say “fuck veterans” here?
US veterans anyways. Anti-imperialist leaders like Kim Il Sung don't get the same treatment
What about American dissenters and civil rights activists like Andy Stapp?
Do they really count as veterans?
if i was dumb enough to sign up and only then grew a conscience and awareness and got drummed out for sabotage i'd milk the fuck out of veterans discounts and shit.
I mention it partially to be a contrarian, but also to not lose sight of the fact that there are people who wake up everyday to leftist ideology, and some of those are going to be American active duty service members and veterans. Mike Prysner has done a lot to help people leave active duty while planting the leftist seeds in their minds with his Eyes Left Podcast, and his work with The Empire Files has been great, too.
It's anecdotal, but I've had a lot of luck myself convincing veterans to go down the pipeline of "Bernie Sanders baby's first socialist thought" to full-blown commie who reads Lenin and abhors American Empire.
In the literal, yes, they served in the military. But it's more of how they self-identity. Some refute the title of veteran altogether. Others still use the moniker as a means to get in with other veteran's groups and begin changing minds. Educate, agitate, and organize works on veterans, too. IMHO, I think purity testing someone based on prior military service does the left a disservice.
I don't really want to reply to this because it's resulted in struggle sessions before, but there's at least one person here who was in the US military and strongly regrets it. Mike Prysner is cool too.
NATO veterans deserve every bad thing that happens to them and then some.
If they're US veterans, yes.
fuck the veterans of the yankee wehrmacht
the only good fascist soldier is a dead one
Bit idea: call it victory day because you dislike troops and vets
American veterans are objectively a bunch of losers.
Suckers and losers, even
Politicians didn't pay World War 1 vets their promised commissions. When the veterans protested, their camps were call "filthy slums heavily infiltrated by Communist agitators" and the police and military were sicced on them.
Even the US says fuck the veterans.
