@nxt888 Cry harder 😢

58,000 Americans died in Vietnam. Over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died. And for fifty years, American culture has centered the grief of the 58,000 while treating the 3,000,000 as a backdrop. As scenery. As context. As "the Vietnam War experience." They built a wall in Washington with American names on it. A beautiful wall. A solemn wall. Good. Mourn your dead. But understand what that wall does not say. It does not say why they died. It does not say what they were doing there. It does not say what was done in their name to the people whose country it actually was. It does not mention My Lai, where American soldiers massacred an entire village, old men, women, children, babies, and the officer who ordered it served three years of house arrest before being pardoned. Three years. House arrest. Pardoned. For five hundred people murdered in a ditch. It does not mention the 2.7 million acres of Vietnamese forest doused in Agent Orange, a chemical weapon disguised as herbicide, that is still deforming Vietnamese children today. Not in 1970. Not in 1985. Today. Children born in 2020 with bodies twisted by a war their grandparents fought. And the chemical companies that made it are still in business. Still profitable. Still un-prosecuted. And yet they send us human rights reports. They grade our democracy. They warn us about our behavior. The audacity is so enormous it becomes almost impressive. Almost.

@BurnsJonah191 @JJCarrell14 Literally look into reasoning behind it

@JJCarrell14 The CIA is responsible for the "terrorists" in Iran. Create problem Talk about problem Create public cerncen for problem Convince public of a solution Solution breeds more problems More solution "Forever wars" This is how this happens

What the FUCK are we doing! My son will NEVER die for a foreign country! I voted for you 3 times, took abuse and fought for you and this is what you do! You do the exact opposite of what you railed against for over a decade!

@TheLaurenChen That and the fact that women whore themselves out to every man under the rising sun, while claiming it's "liberating "

Boomers don't want to hear this, but one of the (many) reasons why my generation isn't having as many kids? A lot of millennials feel they can't depend on their parents for help the way they saw their own grandparents pitch in when they were growing up

@woahisem @DelusionPosting Shot down*

@woahisem @DelusionPosting Am I wrong? Do you remain "friends" with the guys you cut off?

@woahisem @DelusionPosting Oh, but you did, and by doing so, you implied that you like string dudes along for a given amount of time. You wind up the toy, and toss it when it starts moving.

@KnuckleMonkey3 @DelusionPosting I did not imply anything, actually. Lol

@BlipQuackadilly @wastelanderwolf @DelusionPosting I call it "keeping a fish on the line"

@KnuckleMonkey3 @wastelanderwolf @DelusionPosting It’s called “having her foot in the door”. Just to make sure if anything goes wrong she has her backup.

@Victus94315 @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting Can't come up with a valid argument against the claim, so you chose to a attack the person making the claim with no attempt to attack the argument. Typical

@KnuckleMonkey3 @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting I’m sorry that happened to you, but projection isn’t the coping mechanism you should be using here.

@woahisem @DelusionPosting You implied it ma'am. I could be wrong. You could just cut off the ones that shoot their shot. Both are equally cruel and both make you a tease, because you know what you're doing to these men, yet you keep on doing it. Chasing validation.

@KnuckleMonkey3 @DelusionPosting You’re arguing with yourself because I literally didn’t say that lol

@woahisem @DelusionPosting "Never had a male friend who didn't eventually try to test the friendship waters" This tells me that you had a male friend, he shot his shot, you may or may not have shot him down, and then you got another "male friend " knowing the cycle would repeat.

@KnuckleMonkey3 @DelusionPosting Can you point to where I said that? Thanks.

@Victus94315 @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting No, he'd be a closeted straight. Gayness usually manifests after one of 2 things happen. 1. Trauma as a child (molestation usually), or 2. The woman that he knew he was meant be with crushed his heart and left it on the ground in pieces.

@KnuckleMonkey3 @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting Then he would be bi not gay

@woahisem @DelusionPosting It's funny that you use that gif on me, after acknowledging that you continue to be friends with them after they try to "test the friendship waters." Their feelings will never change, and what's funny is that when they do find someone and you're alone, you'll be thinking of them.

@KnuckleMonkey3 @DelusionPosting

@MeryleSprings @DelusionPosting It's naive of her to think she can have a platonic relationship with a single man, if she herself is single. Even if neither of them were single, they'd be treading on thin ice.

@DelusionPosting This one is not a delusional take. Its completely reasonable to be sad that someone did not view a friendship the same way as you, and to feel that the relationship can not continue until either can change how they feel. It would be uncomfortable for her and painful for him.

@malibu114 @JackK490113 @DelusionPosting Cause he probably did and you didn't know how to take a fucking hint

@JackK490113 @DelusionPosting But if the man doesn't make that interest known as opposed to letting you think he just wanys to be friends how would we know? I'm with someone for 15 years. If he had let me know he was actually interested since day 1, we would be together for over 25 years now.

@wastelanderwolf @DelusionPosting Women also keep male best friends for validation. An "at least I have him " so they can feel good about themselves as they sleep with everyone but him

@DelusionPosting Men keep female friends as potential sex partners, even when they are not that attractive. Women keep male friends for resource extraction, free labor and protection. There are very few exceptions to the above.

@ayran_bomboclat @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting A lesbian Jeet? Doubt

@lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting male-female friendships do exis just my homegirls are lesbian

@Victus94315 @lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting I'm pretty sure if a chick asked her "gay best friend " if he wanted to hook up, he'd consider it at the very least

@lunch_table_ @DelusionPosting Male-female friendship are abit more common than that. Typical examples include the two being related, or one of them being gay.

@woahisem @DelusionPosting So you like stringing men along. Gotcha

@DelusionPosting Never had a male friend who didn't eventually try to test the friendship waters. I'm sure it's possible, but I think genuine platonic bonds between men and women are rare and often one sided

@JulianJohnJr @woahisem @DelusionPosting Because it's gay

@woahisem @DelusionPosting I’m always curious why nobody brings up gay men in this topic. Do y’all not befriend them or what? That can solve the problem of your fear of dudes catching feelings AND keeping a guy friend.

@pureMetatron The children are innocent, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be taken out. There's a reason why the Israelites were told to kill everyone including the children whenever they conquered certain cities

The children are absolutely innocent. Their parents however are going to hell.
