        The left of maybe Heinrich Himmler, but seeing as they support guy who have tattooed the same symbol that Heinrich Himmler went genocidally infamous under, i doubt even that.

      Left also should not accept current or previous military members unless they are openly anti US military and imperialism pretty much every single sentence they speak publicly.

      Not at all, whatsoever with absolutely no exceptions other than listed. Those guys and gals get up to some bad shit, and they’re usually one (or less) person removed from (fascist) government officials

        for sure. the indoctrination goes hard in the military, police forces and similar institutions.

        people i know who went through these never go back to having sound critical thought and they stay a bit aggressive forever.

          Total institutionalization. Total institutes break down the ego to rebuild it into whatever the institute wants it to be. It’s extremely difficult to regain a sense of self completely free of the institute, past a certain amount of conditioning. This is anything from the current El Salvadoran CECOT, to rehabilitation facilities to skilled nursing facilities to reeducation facilities to monastsries and boarding schools.

      I just got banned from lemmy.world/c/progressivepolitics for criticizing Platner.

      Anything to the left of a Nazi is “ultra-left” apparently.

        Sanders endorsed him too though if I’m not mistaken. So everyone just needs to take a deep breath and remember that Susan Collins needs to fucking goooooo

        Edit. Fucking ML, how to I keep ending up with these dipshits? Time to figure out how to block it all.

          Sanders fucking voted to bomb yugoslavia, Sanders refused to call it genocide for two years and the one time he did he opened with “Hamas (a terrorist organization, very scary!) started it”. Getting endorsed by Bernie “bent the knee for hillary” Sanders is an indictment of Plaᛏner if anything.

          Sanders endorsed Jon Fetterman in 2022 too.

          This entire debate is “Kamala Harris is not Donald Trump” 2026 edition. “The left” needs to find an alternative to promote instead of a literal Nazi mass murderer.

      Partly due to the Overton window, partly due to their inability to confront their own complicity, I think. They don’t want to be responsible for anything - they just want to vote blue and pat themselves on the back.
