It is a link aggregating forum site, and has the problems that come with that. However I find it to be the least awful of social media.
There is plenty of stupid shit posting here, and just taking the piss. However I do think that people here are more likely to take certain things more seriously than most places. However all places sort of have their topics they take way too seriously
Oh? I thought we were just calling each other countries that spend massive amounts on bots.
I am getting that Israel money same time I cash my Soros checks. The following day is when i cash my Koch bros checks. You not getting yours lately?
Hi russia
Say Graham joined the military to kill people, because that is what he said, and called him a MERC. Have some person rant about my formatting of MERC claiming he never was one, nor said that. I cite the quote, and point to the wikipedia person posts to refute my claims says that he joined a PMC in afghanistan.

“In a January 2, 2020, on the Reddit thread, “Why Did You Enlist In The Marines?” Platner posted, “I wanted to have an adventure and kill some people.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Platner#Military
“After his military service, he worked as a State Department security contractor in Afghanistan "
“In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, where he provided diplomatic security to the US Ambassador to Afghanistan.”
Constellis, BTW, inherited what Blackwater was doing when Blackwater dissolved their corporation legally because it was in a PR/legal nightmare. So Constellis was basically Blackwater by another name.
They are also lying about him never being a mercenary. In the very wikipedia article he cites it says he worked for Constellis, which inherited blackwater’s contracted when they dissolved, then reformed, basically working for blackwater under a different name.
They also claim they are watching his campaign closely, yet their only refutation cited is a wikipedia article, which actually backs my claims. These people are so weird defending this guy.
EDIT - Oh it seems this conversation was too much and it has been removed from the original post. Cowards.
He worked for fucking Constellis, which inherited Blackwater’s contracts when they dissolved and reformed. He spent six month in Afghanistan working for the PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANY, in other words, a mercenary. This information is in the wikipedia article YOU linked.
"After his military service, he worked as a State Department security contractor in Afghanistan "
“In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, where he provided diplomatic security to the US Ambassador to Afghanistan.”
It’s right there, he became a fucking MERC.
You said you watched his campaign closely, yet you only post a Wikipedia page to refute my claims of Platner working for a PMC, and in that same article it straight says that is what he did.
You also claimed he never said the bit of about joining the military to kill people, yet he did. It took me literal seconds to find all this information, and I, in no way, consider myself to be watching his campaign closely.
If you want to get into this he said/she said crap, like the posted article, he has a number of ex’s that claim he talked about, and behaved, in disturbing ways, with at least one saying how she was told his unit specifically got the totenkopf tattoo because they drew parallels from what they were doing to military groups like the SS. You can look this one up yourself. I have proven what I say has backing, you haven’t.
Why are you trying to cover for this whack job?

took less than 30 seconds.
simple search - Graham Platner I wanted to join the army because I wanted adventure, and to kill people. Then you can look up his service history, he has posted about it in numerous places over the years. It literally takes seconds to find the reddit archives of it, since, as soon as that account was tied to him, he deleted all those comments, but they had been archived. Take like 30 seconds to search it.
No I absolutely parse what is going on here. I just find it shit that this he said, she said, drama is what is going on, when the guy has said he joined the military, and then became a MERC, because he wanted to kill people. The tattoo mention is just a little icing.
You mean the guy who said he joined the infantry because wanted adventure, and to kill people? Then did as many tours as they would let him? Then became a MERC to continue doing that? The one with the nazi tattoo?
Oh no, he sent some unprofessional texts, let’s go instead hard on that.
One cult member’s brain turns on long enough to make a criticism and along comes the cult to talk them down from that nonsense
if you are on campus property they have REAL police powers, so don’t just treat them as enhanced security guards. Lot’s of hospitals here have them now too
bigger campuses now have them licensed as police, and they are legal to execute police powers within the jurisdiction of the campus it is common.
The cuts to medicaid/medicare and the slashing of general policy around a lot of medicines, and treatments not within those policies alone, will result in 10-12 million excess deaths in the net 10 years.
That cuts both ways. Who wants someone that becomes obsessed with them. So small body count is out too.
The financial scammer’s name is Chad Banken? This is Hiro Protagonist levels of name bullshittery.
