Whatever argument you need to make to yourself to justify being happy about dead 17 year olds from poor families, I guess.

They are cheering for dead troops. Those troops happen to include 17 year old from poor families. They are, unironically and with great enthusiasm, cheering about dead 17 year olds.

I just struggle to see that as good.

Whatever argument you need to make to be cheering for dead kids, I guess.

Doubt.

…but not every other army on earth?

Unironically? Some of those were kids, back then. The photos make them look a lot older because they were tied, hungry, dehydrated, and filthy. Kids were lying about their age far more successfully then than now.

But you’re just proving my point: you like seeing dead kids fighting for old men. As long as they’re the right dead kids for your political compas.

You’re happy to see poor enlisted kids die for rich old assholes. It’s not a hard concept.

Out of curiosity, what’s my stance on mental illness? I’m curious.

The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.

But go ahead and tell me about how you’re mad at people killing children.

Disagree? People who make bad faith low-context arguments online are idiots. Case in point, above.

Do you REALLY think everyone in the US military joined up during trump and is a raging Republican? If you do, what a strange world you live in.

Look in the mirror: if you’re happy to see someone dead you are EXACTLY THE SAME as someone who joined up.

Or worse, because lots of folks join with the expectations that they will not be asked to kill unless it’s reasonable, and will do some good. You’re just happy to see people you don’t like it understand dead. Congratulations! It’s you!

You have issues, bro. Go meditate or something. You want to bully someone so bad you gotta come here and find some bad faith argument to make? Take a pill.

Sounds like a GREAT way to waste tons of government resources!

Seriously, do you know the wait-list for investigations the government actuallywants to do? It’s insane.

All offense intended: you’re a ghoul. Check yourself. It’s a misery when Russian troops die for corrupt leaders and it’s a misery when Chinese troops die for corrupt leaders and it’s a misery when American troops die for corrupt leaders. Your delight in this situation is wrong and you should be ashamed. You’ve bought into a malicious, mean-minded, impoverished and cold mindset and you sound exactly like a brainwashed MAGA.

“Russia should stop this” = “you want to see dead kids” is wild, bro.

Russia literally killed LOTS of kids already. I would love to see 100% fewer murdered kids in this world but that starts with the fucker who started the war.

Oh I absolutely love this idea. Trump’s kids first.

But seriously, no better way to make Republicans feel the pain than to draft their kids. Liberals can, of course, claim something like being trans to get out without any shame. Pretty sure the trans community would be ok with it? Or not, but whatever, if you’re a trans person and you’re not ok with weaponizing your trans persecution to fuck with the MAGAts I think you’re lame.

1. sex and gender are different things.

2. Trans women were biological males. But sex is determined by a lot of factors, including hormones. Trans folks often use man made chemicals to trigger sexual development into the sex they wanted.

Think of sex like a slider bar on a screen, with “male” on one side and “female” on the other. You start somewhere on the scale. With hormones you can put your finger on the slider and schwoop that lil sucker anywhere you want. It’s not just for trans folks though! Straights use the slider too. Wanna be more butch than you already are as a guy? Add testosterone! Going through menopause? Add estrogen!

The impact of opposite sex hormones to a trans person’s already developed sex organs is mostly to render them useless, but that’s fine, straights do that too, mostly on purpose. That’s what adoption is for. If a trans person wants to go all in on the change, they can get the reverse-that-thang surgery and turn that outie into an innie.

At that point, there’s like… Zero difference between a “natural born” woman who had a hysterectomy for some reason, and a trans woman.

It’s all very science fiction when you get into the details.

Jesus Christ.

Maybe Russia should do something about this! Like withdrawal from Ukraine? It’s within their power to stop this war at any time, if they give a shit, by withdrawal.
