Oh I believe that 100%!

I suppose I'm a little more patient with it because I went through the same change myself, AND because I like people (finally) pointing out that we do have a system for socialized healthcare in America!

I mean, tbf, joining the military IS what made me start looking into the concept of Socialism and what it means.

Is the military socialism? No, us Enlisted have no power and the Officer corps is the "owning class", but we have good, tax payer funded social benefits that I believe everyone should have access to.

It's like a gateway drug into anti-capitalism idealogies. If the US is never going to go full socialist (or at least not in our lifetimes), then I think raising taxes and giving everyone TRICARE, VA Loan benefits, tuition assistance, and a pension will go a long way in solving most people's biggest fears/relieving a metric fuckton of oppression caused by capitalism.

Also, having been to the Middle East and seen firsthand the stark difference of people driving around Ducatis and Lambos, parking in front malls inlaid with real gold, while 10 minutes up the road whole communities had built their shack homes in the desert with random odds and ends and thrown blankets over their windows was...I cant really describe the feeling I got. Dread, anger, immense sadness, just a whole myriad of negative emotions. Couple that with the intense religious fervor that is rampant in the region, and yeah, I have no idea how a military member can look at all that and be like "This. This is what America needs."

Granted, yes, unfortunately a lot of our service men and women are still unfortunately extremely pro-Capitalism/Trump and Elon Musk fanboys...I just don't know how.

Either way, my comment got long, but when people start in on the "The Army is Socialist!" Dont be mad. Educate! They're at the very least coming from a place of "Fuck, we really could make everyones lives better if we give everyone these benefits that we enjoy so much!" And that shows compassion for others, which is something so fucking desperately needed right now.

And its fucking CRAZY how that happened. People can argue that "Beyonce isn't a country singer" all they want, but her song "YA YA" off the Cowboy Carter album (my favey fave off the album) is an incredible song with just her powerful lungs alone, however, the lyrics are shit that White Conservative Country Music People should eat up:

"My family live and died in America, hm Good ol' USA, shit (Good ol' USA) Whole lotta red in that white and blue, huh History can't be erased, ooh You lookin' for a new America? (America) Are you tired, workin' time and a half for half the pay? (Half the pay) Ya-ya (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh) I just pray that we don't crash, keep my Bible on the dash We gotta keep the faith"

And in a later verse she talks about staying strapped with a pistol on her hip and a Bible in her hands.

Like...this is exactly the type of shit these people literally dream about.

True! Some actual info would be nice since this could plausibly be several people it seems.

Drunk brain just lit up last night and was like "The time has come to dispense Real Housewives of DC lore upon the public".

(And sober brain is like: "Hey Self, Salahi didn't run a ponzi scheme from the WH numbnuts, she just crashed a dinner". So the other person is likely correct, and I posted out of turn)

Are we sure this isnt referencing Real Housewives of DC Michaele Salahi? Who Broke Up A Whitehouse Dinner?

And also subsequently married Neil Schon from Journey?

Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!

"So fluffy Im gonna dieeeee!" Vibes for sure

This. The entire state of Texas shut down for an entire week, and people literally died in their homes over 2 inches of snow in 2021. 2 fucking inches.

If your local area doesn't have the infrastructure in place to support winter weather conditions, any snowfall at all may as well be a 4 ft blizzard.

I do! Bailey Sarian is a queen and I did indeed learn about Aqua Tofana from her video on it! I figured it was an appropriate username given the rise in redpill content/choices that certain governments have made in recent times, haha.

I saw the other post you made of your kitty chilling the other day as well! Tell her I'm a huge fan, and I'll always upvote pictures of that cutie!

Boop!

Such a cute kitty!!!

Ah! We have a version of the tragedeigh sub over here too! It's only got one post though, but this would fit right in it!
