@Cernovich We went out to eat exactly twice in my first ten years (four kids, two parents). Once at a local burger joint, and once when my out of state uncle came to town with his family.

@Cernovich Gen Xer here.
Neither of us went to college. Got entry level jobs in our late 20s after restaurant work.
Packed my breakfast & lunch for 25 yrs. Got a Starbucks on Fridays. My wife & I cooked dinner at home, only went out on weekends.
Mid 50s now, own our home & a rental

You're an idiot.

@magi_jay Not at all defending Platner here. This is disgraceful. But we have a president who called the fallen "suckers and losers" and has denigrated POWs and veterans with PTSD.
There are no standards anymore. And certainly not different ones for Democrats. Sucks, but here we are.

In 2019, seven years ago, when he was 34-years-old, Graham Platner logged into reddit and posted a response to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban.
Platner wrote:
"This video never gets old. Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."
Think about each line. "This video never gets old." Platner's implying he's watched the video several times and enjoys it. "At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt."
That's what Platner thinks about his fellow Americans at war. If they're not good at killing or broader tactics, he has contempt for them. He displays no empathy. The opposite, in fact.
The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.
Daniels was shot four times in this video and, ultimately, earned a Purple Heart.
When the video was initially released (2013), Pfc. Daniels was critical of himself in interviews, saying, "It wasn't the most tactically brilliant thing to do." He described that he was embarrassed by the video; that people could hear him screaming for help. But, also, he said: "I put my ass on the line for other guys."
Then, we have, again, Graham Platner, logging into reddit, in 2019, to comment: "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live."
For all those who say, "That's just how Marines talk," I'll tell you: Platner's comment got downvoted by the military community. Even if it didn't: We're not talking about the military anymore. We're talking about a 34-year-old man, years after service, logging in to mock another man who's being shot on video. We're also talking about the U.S. Senate, not boys-will-be-boys or Marines-will-be-Marines.
We're always told to view Platner as a changed man. 2013, when he made the rape apologia comments, was the "darkest point in his life," or so we have been told. So what was going on in 2019, such that Platner enjoyed watching a video of a man getting shot and mocking him? How many arcs of change are there in Platner's life? Was there a specific point where he discovered human empathy?
I couldn't help but think of that specific reddit comment while watching the video below. "Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles away from home," Platner says. Didn't he log in to reddit seven years ago to say, "Dumb motherfucker didn't deserve to live" ?
I don't like being lied to.

Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
We destroyed Iraq. We destroyed Afghanistan. And the people behind all that destruction, all that killing, the people who sent me to war are still in power. Still sending young Americans to die thousands of miles from home.

I've met these kinds of people before. Notice how nearly every photo is just the same two people standing in front of a different backdrop. None of the places themselves hold any value beyond being another checkmark on the map and another prop for self-image.
The whole thing is just documenting themselves consuming experiences for validation. If they weren’t allowed to photograph themselves or turn it into a coffee-table book, they wouldn’t even go
