Virginia lawmakers on Monday passed a proposal that would require schools, if they teach students about the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to relay the facts of what actually happened, without including misinformation that the 2020 presidential election was stolen or that the attack was just a peaceful protest.

    Nah. Chill bro. Theyre not the enemy. They needed socialism and suffer through horrible treatment to get it.

    Some of them have no other way of getting a college education, housing help, a steady paycheck. Some of the young men just need to get away from their social circles and break the cycle of poverty for their family’s. I met a girl while I was there, she was 28 from a shithole town in Mississippi, she said the day before she left for basic, her sister was shot in her front yard. She had a kid and didn’t know what else to do.

    And theyre not all killers blood thirsty assholes, and really the jobs offered (with a ton of benefits) are really really neat. Satellite communications, mechanics. hell even logistic jobs are cool af and people who are dumber than shit can get that job with only like a 28 on their ASVAB.

      The road to hell is paved with good intentions. What difference does it make if someone grew up poor with whether they push the button or not that kills 100 children? Like, sure, the person who gave the order is a piece of shit, but the “good” poor soldier who pushes the button still kills 100 kids. That’s not a good person in my book.

        Meh. You sound young and energetic. You can hate them if you want but like I’m telling you, i know a lot of them, and they’re not the problem. Just dumb kids doing what they’re told.

        Like that expression, the fish rots from the head first.
