Thank you for this. I gave it a good (confusing) read, they could stand to type in less capitals.
I can see the regulations outlined, but not that he was turned away for it being a known nazi symbol or anything based on that description, it sounds like he got a tattoo without clearing it or reporting it on his paperwork and chose not to appeal, based on his words there in the reddit post.
I appreciate you finding that for me, it was hard to parse all the google garbage
Thanks anyway! Yeah military jargon and acronyms out the ass go hand in hand and any manager that’s a vet I’ve worked for just tosses them around like ‘sentence enhancers’.
If you know about MARADMIN, can you elaborate on what he means? I looked it up and understand it as a kind of code of conduct, but don’t see what changed in 2007, just that he said a USMC based tattoo was what prevented him.
Can you give a source on that or a general direction on where to look? I’ve heard about the tattoo and looked into it during the initial controversy and did not find that information at the time.
I think you’re getting the downvotes (and I think I saw a few others mention this) because your argument is rooted in the word keeping the exact definition it was historically created in.
People who ‘simp’ for China are not ‘Mao apologists’ but that’d be a fine enough term for me to understand exactly who, in the modern day, is being insulted.
In similar fashion, no, existing fascists in the republican party are not literally National Socialist German Workers’ Party members, but they DO have a lot of similarities to the values and actions we have distilled down over the last 80 years that we attribute to ‘Nazis’.
So, no, they’re not Nazis, but to call them such isn’t to ‘change history…’ as you put it, and is instead a means of identifying extreme and harmful beliefs with an existing, demonized (for good reason) label to accent the severity of their beliefs as they compare to modern sensibilities related to freedom.
They downvoted you because you became a Dictionary Nazi, the Grammar Nazi’s even less-liked younger brother
I have a little, it’s to try and get me and my partner the hell out of this state. Not enough for a house, but enough for a used car and a u-haul and first and last month’s rent somewhere else.
A lot of us are living paycheck to paycheck, we’re lucky to be a bit above that and not have kids. Almost all the people we know from high school and college are in worse boats than us.
And advocating for a general strike is ILLEGAL and a very easy charge in Trump’s America at this point.
I’ve been rolling around forums and whatnot to see the interest for such topics, and they seem high, but no one is talking about what I’m supposed to do to pay for my pets and apartment when I have 0 support structures in a deeply red state. They don’t treat the homeless very well here, and it’s freezing half the year.
Not that you’re saying it’s easy, you rightly pointed out food too. I just wish there were more resources, or ways to get connected. My community does the No Kings protests, but most of them balked at the Kirk shooting so they’re not quite radicalized enough for the other actions that a not-entirely-peaceful protest would bring.
Yeah, a cheap printing shirt from like Gildan can be found at Michael’s STARTING at 20 dollars. 20 dollars (less maybe, if they can get wholesale prices) and you’re already eating well into any profit from a 42 dollar shirt after printing and shipping.
I have pets that need fed, rent that needs paid, and survival to keep in mind.
Can you link me to resources to help me provide for those things while I’m 24/7 rioting?
But that just feels like calling out people who buy jeans in the western world. Yes, I wear my jeans for years, patching them when possible. But a factory in Indonesia dyed these jeans indigo with child workers who take that poisoning home with them.
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, or so they say, so why not subtract the 2 from both sides and pull it entirely out of the equation?
You’ve added a perfectly reasonable leisure activity, traveling for entertainment, and then put it next to ‘person literally takes a bus into the atmosphere for a few hours so they can get somewhere faster’. In what way is her mode of travel the burden of the concert-goers?
Individual choices make a difference, and I’m not begrudging someone for driving an hour and a half to the nearest Zoo, so I’ve got no problem with people in the US taking the only real means of transit available to them. Bands/groups can take tour busses, trains. They can fly to another country if needed. But land travel is still more economically and environmentally friendly than air travel. If they carpooled, because it’s a concert far enough away, even better.
Anyone who owns a private jet, anyone, is a MASSIVELY larger problem than the average human, and then corporations are an order of magnitude larger than regular private jet owners
I don’t know what the server rules are, but there’s a good chance (if it’s like others I see) it requires the poster to post the headline exactly as it’s written. And that’s the headline the link uses.
Sensationalism, yes. But reporting him might not really be worth the mod’s time if that’s a rule for this instance.
Hey Hoosier! Hope your education wasn’t too lacking and that you’re loving life a little more as yourself
You formulated a question where your answer means you don’t have ANY culpability even though you can clearly see the murders coming and mitigate it’s damage.
Yes, outside of this decision, campaign to have Alice executed or jailed or whatever, but that won’t stop Alice from killing 5 people, she’s just GOING TO WIN if you don’t stop her. You CAN reduce the number of deaths and continue to fight, hopefully with 3 more people to stand up to that kind of tyranny.
Same scenario
You CAN’T stop Alice. You just can’t. You don’t have the man power or the legal means.
So your choices are, 2 people or 5 people. If you choose to do nothing, 5 people die, if you swallow the moral superiority, only 2 people die.
Which are you choosing?
The people who voted for the guy directly endorsed by nazis and hate groups, who has an agenda drafted by a prominent hate-monger, are indeed the problem.
Yes, the other choice was a genocide apologist who ALSO sucks corporate dick, but has the decency to throw the average populous a bone now and again and doesn’t fuck up (as many) foreign trade deals and alliances.
Yes, the SOLUTION is to change our election system. But the PROBLEM is fascism, and a shit ton of people voted for more fascism.
Sees the article, sees the claim, sees the rebuttal, sides with brain worm man?
I gotta get off this rock.
5th grade reading level, gotta leave the term Foibles behind if you want people to hear you, apparently
Why is it that if he’s a dumb young 20 he can’t gain any intelligence? Why is the line I keep seeing from people “well he didn’t know at the time, and that’s damning enough”, like, do you know anyone who has ever signed up for the military at 18-25 to bd ‘smart’ or informed?
