Where did you read about 5g downsides? Something I haven’t researched much and sounds like I should

Yeah I thought about it more after posting and I’d actually say 4:1, and I’ve definitely seen those couples.

There was a great citations needed episode about this a week or so ago. They say that Dems lukewarm response to climate change might as well be climate change denialism

I’m not absolving troops of the part they play in the imperial war machine, but they are fundamentally different than #metoo’d men. The vast majority of those being #metoo’d were in a high position of power with the choice to be a piece of trash repeatedly, those in the military can face a wide variety of punishments up to being killed by their own allies for putting up too much of a fuss. This isn’t an excuse for continuing to commit atrocities, but it is much different than choosing to violate and assault people in ‘exchange’ for a better job.

The military is also filled with victims of capitalism looking for a way out of bad conditions and may have been fed propaganda their whole life thinking this is good. Once out, many veterans feel negativity towards the military. Again, this doesn’t fix what they have done, but asking US leftists to disallow or heavily discourage veterans from joining the movement is effectively extending the amount of time the US war machine can keep doing what it does best.

I don’t disagree with the tweet in that those who have been on the receiving end of US imperialism absolutely have the right to fling insults and take as much time and hoops to jump through to forgive them if at all.
