  • Making sure I get fed? What exactly has the military done to secure food security? You’re complaining about hyperbole and make dumbass claims like that lol

    Shoot, my bad. I forgot how easily confused you get. They keep the soldiers fed. I thought that was obvious from context, but I guess back to spoon feeding.

    They’re not baseless assumptions either. I’m sure your chud friends have seen plenty of horrific shit and they just don’t consider it bad, nor war crimes.

    They’re not baseless? You’re assuming you know my friends better than I do. Friends who were in the military with me, a life you clearly don’t understand or have ever experienced. But you claim with confidence to know what they consider bad? This is baseless by definition. You’re whole stance is based on assumptions.

    But prove me wrong, my good friend Sgt Holt, what did he see that was a war crime? I’m curious since you seem to know so well.

    I know people that have sniped unarmed civilians in Afghanistan and they considered it a way to alleviate boredom.

    Lol first off I call bullshit. A sniper is not setting up a nest then giving away and drawing attention to that nest for no reason. That’s how you eat an RPG. Your basic lack of military knowledge is making your lies transparent AF lol.

    There’s a couple people in my state that even got convicted of war crimes

    Oh shit! A couple people got convicted of war crimes so every single soldier ever has committed war crimes. You are delusional and not living in reality guy. Do you apply this logic to every group? Because I’m sure you’re part of a group that has had members of that group so horrible things.

    What a smart person would do is realize that each person is an individual and not judge an entire, massive group of people based on the actions of some people in that group.


  • You said literally any soldier, so maybe say what you mean instead of being hyperbolic and then blaming people for thinking you mean what you actually said. You choose those words. You didn’t even say, “ask any soldier” you really wanted to classify it with “ask literally any soldier”. So if that’s not what you meant, why did you make that absurd claim? I don’t rely on people making assumptions when I present a point. That is wild…

    And even then, I know people do have been in action and not witnessed any war crimes. I’ve known lots of these people, across a large sample. You’re in your room making baseless assumptions.

    Yah, every guy making sure you get fed really condones war crimes. You lack any sense of nuance or actual understanding.

    You’re just throwing out grand, sweeping claims…



  • … How dishonest.

    Learning from history is one thing. Holding people accountable for the actions of others, from before they were even born, is stupid.

    But you knew that. You’re just trolling or hate the military too much to think clearly.

    But let’s follow your logic. Let’s take actions of people in the past and apply them now. So, given the holocaust I’m assuming you think all present day Germans hate Jews and want them to die? I mean we need to learn from the past right? Just because it’s not happening here and now you can’t ignore it. Right?



  • I served in the military. You don’t seem to know much about it.

    Literally any soldier? Really? The cooks? The guy at the mechanic shop? Literally any soldier?

    Not everyone is going out on patrol. Not every soldier is committing a war crime. I’ve known dozens of people who went over seas and didn’t even see a hint of action. WTF is with these wild assumptions being passed as facts.

    Does it happen, for fucking sure. But not at the level you seem to be implying. Not at all. People let their emotions rule over reason way too much.










  • I dunno, you’re whole stance is claiming things that run counter to my experience and I don’t feel wrong having attacked ML at all. You can say both sides do it, but even in that case it’s wrong. I’m not looking to find a place that strictly lines up with my views so I can just live in an air tight echo chamber. I speak my mind in all communities and have only gotten banned in ML because I don’t fit the mold. Maybe I’ve not come at people in world “the right way” like you have to get censored but I’m open to being shown some instances of it.

    I’d love to show you examples of my normal comments removed, but they’ve all been removed lol. What would you like me to show you, I guess I could screen shot it from the mobile app on my side.

    If you’re Marxist and want to live in that ML bubble that’s fine, but I’m not interested in a community that is so strict in what can and can’t be said, especially if it’s going to host non political communities. It seems like reinforcing group think. If it’s all about Marxism then only host those communities, hosting others seeems like a slimy way to inject politics into other things.

    I’m talking about normal comments. Remove politics at all. Both communities have what we can call “conversations about benign things.” I’ve seen more censorship in ml than world in that area.

    Then if we do go to politics, I can attack both sides on “home turf” and only receive bans from one side. Sure my user is a .world user, no idea if that factors in. I’ve just seen a difference in how the two approach similar situations and in don’t agree with how ml has handled those. That’s really all it is for me. I could be wrong and like I said, if I see world censoring in a way I disagree with I’d treat them just the same.

    I don’t know if I’d consider myself anarchist. My views don’t seem to fit into one of the labels going around very well. I find myself agreeing with parts of multiple stances. And disagreeing with parts of multiple stances, which is where my different experiences with censoring come in.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong or even that ml is a bad place. I’m just sharing my experience and reasoning for avoiding it. Other may agree or disagree, I’m not the source of truth by any means haha. But I’d really love to see the censorship toned down in general, across the board.

    Sure, that may be true. But I’ve been censored on ml around non political issues on ml and have attacked liberals and leftists on world without being censored. I’m one person, so my experience isn’t enough to make a broader claim but others have shared similar experiences.
