For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨

    The point is/was that soldiers are not male or female when in uniform … they are just soldiers.

    Dont throw “fascist” around so much, it makes you sound like a NPC bot and the word literally loses its bite.

    The older generations use the word female literally (as in by textbook definition) to describe a subjects gender. As examples; “The dog is female, there was a female police officer there, we could have had the first female president”. The younger generation wants to get offended by the usage of a clinical term. All in all its pretty fucking dumb … they should direct that energy into getting offended by billionaires tampering in politics.

      So I got the point, not that hard.
      I wanted to make a more important point about the awful militarism in your example.
      And it’ s perfectly justified to describe the US banana republic as fascist, despite its over use it is not hyperbole in this case.

        It is hyperbole. The conservative “fascist” movement will be in your area soon. Its trying to spread everywhere. Racism is a very appealing to stupid people and it is being used by corporations as a rallying cry to spread rampant capitalism.

          I’m in Europe, not the same.
          Sure fascists are on the rise here too but we won’t take half the shit you passive docile subservient put up with.
          Even before Trump.
          We know how to fight and riot.
          Any scumbag, including that orange cunt and his ice cowards that tries to do that same shit here will end up like this.
          No Kumbaya or cringe No kings BS.

            LOL Bad news. You’re wrong about your own country. The UK has its Reform Party. There is also Germany’s AfD, France’s National Rally, Italy’s Brothers of Italy, and Hungary’s Fidesz.

            These are all supported by the same folks that birthed MAGA in the USA. These have ALL won political races in 2022-2025. I dont hear no fucking riots. These assholes surprise you, you dont think they can win, but they have BILLIONS of dollars to spend.

              can you read? “Sure fascists are on the rise here too”

              And also:

              1 they’re not in power, certainly not in the way it works in your awful and idiotic unipartysystem. 2 you were way worse even without them. No healtcare, sick days paid, vacations, etc…
              None of that slave owner mentality would fly in Europe, when they start knibbling at those social accomplishments we got because WE FOUGHT for them, there are riots.
