@itsleftytho@turbografix180@lporiginalg oh wow so you have a career worth of knowledge in this exact type of scenario, and your impulse is to condescend with "skill issue" very cool
@Littlebird_84@stea1e@HiipipT Words, PowerPoint, and dioramas. In case there is a tie then drunk karaoke and interpretive dance rule will come into effect.
you cannot convince any level-headed millennial that another war will ever be a good idea.
we are the children of the war on terror. we remember the forever war starting when we were kids. we stuck “support our troops” magnets on our parents cars. we sent care packages to soldiers overseas for class projects. we were told the government was going to protect us, with this great bill called the Patriot Act, only for them to target us.
we watched our friends turn 18 and sign up to fight too, believing it was the right thing to do. we grew up being fed propaganda for “the war on terror” only to watch it end in a pathetic whimper in our 20s and 30s, and see the taliban take power back comically fast.
we don’t believe in sending our men and women to die, because we watched it happen our whole lives. we were told we were fighting the good fight. but hindsight is 20/20 and now you have a generation of jaded young adults who realize war is a fucking scam.
it’s a scam that makes the rats in DC rich and the contractors rich, all for the low low cost of countless billions in taxpayer money, dead Americans, and dead nameless “enemies” and innocents overseas. war is an economy we are not interested in being involved in, because we realized it was all a lie.
a war lasted our entire lives, and now it’s like it was never fought. so no, we’re not going to support another war. period. in the wise words of the president who started the war on terror: fool me once, you can’t get fooled again.
WELP.
Ain't that something.
Thanks to everyone who's been a part of it and stuck by through it all.
To you judgmental assholes: get fucked.
Hugs and kisses.
