I do not support the US imperial military, as it’s an extremely brutal means by which the US Empire cements its neocolonial and imperialist extraction around the world. No good has come from the US military outside of its participation in World War II in the last century. Outside of that conflict, it has exported genocide and mass slaughter of innocents on a regular basis. The problem isn’t simply the leaders, it’s the entire imperialist system the US Empire rests on, along with its ongoing settler-colonial project. Platner’s participation in that system is well-documented.
I’m well aware that the military preys on the vulnerable. I’m also well aware that Planter openly admitted to volunteering not out of desparation, but pleasure. I will not back off when it comes to anti-imperialism, you’re throwing the question of US imperialism and settler-colonialism under the rug because the conclusions are damning for your argument. The US Empire must be dismantled.
Further, I am not OP. You are not talking to OP. I raised the points of Platner’s participation in US imperialism and war crimes, his Nazi tattoos, and the fact that supporting bourgeois parties will never bring about worker emancipation. Stop bringing up the article like it has anything to do with what I am saying, I was responding to your “vote blue no matter who” claim.
I’m a Marxist-Leninist, I’m absolutely on the left. You quite literally stated “vote blue no matter who” in the very beginning, then proceeded to keep mentioning the article despite me never bringing it up. This is a literal line from you:
Vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass.
I was not using it, I was responding to your point.
Considering you are actively advocating for an imperialist boot with Nazi tattoos, and literally said “vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass,” it makes sense that you believe what you say.

What “disproven, false stories” have I spewed? Are you denying Platner serving in the US military, and having Nazi tattoos?
