The thing is there’s quite a lot I can agree with on with the politics of empires. however the really seek to simply replace one empire with another and have another global power dominate since it is their the global power instead of the liberal one. It’s incredibly annoying to me because they are more imperialist than the average liberal in the know. (Global communist hegemony by force)

I have a pleasure of talking with one who isn’t quite as crazy as those on .ml, but we have talked about the institutions and politics of empires and how economic systems work. I’ve certainly become more of a socialist and I’ve gotten him to see a lot of the flaws in communist countries and the only one I haven’t really dispelled is Cuba. (I know relatively little about Cuba, and I think the US is a bit harsh towards them. Electoral politics makes it harder to open up to Cuba though)

We both hate Trump with a passion though. Partly because we are both queer, and also that we both hate fascists.

There’s actually a /MLP/ board on 4chan. There aren’t a lot of fandoms that have their own separate board, but they made that one because people were pony-posting all over the other message boards.

I’m just imagining how much logistic support they’re going to need and how many people they’ll have to move for this

That doesn’t really have much to do with domestic stuff. I mean, every military does fucked up stuff, but at the end of the day, they’re made of people and have their families. Even myself.

As a service member, I educated myself on tactics, philosophy, diplomacy, economics, culture, mental health, geography, and many other topics to understand how and why military force is used. I know it’s not for democracy à la Helldivers. It’s used to keep the trade going and to conduct politics through harder power.

You might be an isolationist and that’s fine. But don’t insult the intelligence of myself who dealt with all sorts of philosophical dilemma and educated herself and others around her

As much crap is is going on in the world right now, the US military still has some scruples. They don’t just blindly follow Trump’s orders. And especially wouldn’t just fire into their countrymen. Trump hasn’t managed to take over every institution yet. Especially the military.

Service members know how to complain and think for themselves. And if something doesn’t seem right, they will clarify the heck out of it and push back. It’s not the Russian military

Pushed by the Bourgeois? Gosh I wish. The reason why trans people have rights is due to years of activism and science. (And the warning power of the church)

The Bourgeois have been trying to stuff us down forever. You saw how fast some corporations dropped their LGBT flags at the first sign of trouble. They don’t care about it

Defund the Police

I don’t think that one’s on the list for him

Stop the Jobs

I’m don’t think anyone could campaign on that, but I’ve been proven wrong too many times

The home still costs over a million, and I only make 60k

She is so cute!

This sounds like a completely proportional and legal response /s

This is definitely against the first amendment

I’m a recently separated transgender veteran, and I’m well connected with those directly affected by this. Most branches are taking a similar route with a option to either voluntarily separate or else involuntarily separate after a board meets to separate you. Involuntary separation will take a much longer time, however some people still might like to take it just to be done with the military.

There’s very likely going to be a temporary restraining order on the effects of these executive orders. The case to look at is called Talbot V Trump. We are expecting to see it issued in the next week.

People can be separated from the military for a number of reasons including medical reasons, disciplinary reasons, inability to do their job, or other reasons. Most people will be discharged under honorable conditions, (unless there are other conditions that would characterize it differently)

I had a friend that separated early because of something the Air Force deemed “failure to adjust to the military environment”

This is One of the major things I’m worried about.

Namely I’m worried about mental health service, and getting medications paid for from the VA. I may have to find “alternate causes” to justify taking estrogen. Or else I may have to pick up the bill on some things.

I hope nobody was dead after the crash!

Does this actually cite the GAO’s report? Or is it made up?

I love bulletin boards! They’re always a good spot to find local events

The child would go to the NICU and be fine

If the child doesn’t have a rare issue

You changed your position. That’s okay!

Still, there are times when abortions make more sense from a health perspective. There are also times when induced birth makes more sense. Why ban a life saving procedure? No mother wants to have an abortion at that stage, so they would go with that latter option every time that they could.

But sometimes that’s too risky for the health of the mother. So instead of a dead baby, you have a dead baby and dead mother. If it’s banned, pregnancy becomes more dangerous for any mother

Children can’t grow a brain stem that isn’t there. Or make a malformed heart work There are complications that cannot be treated

This is going to hurt planning on all levels for the Ukrainians. It would make sense if he only wanted to get rid of financial aid, but intelligence sharing is free. The US is already monitoring the whole conflict. The US is the primere space power in the world, so that’s a lot of resources to lose. The USA is sending a message that they do not support Ukraine anymore
