Please detail me a protest that disrupts the rich that cannot be cleaned up by the Rich’s employees/servants/serfs

But why do you despise it? I’ve heard criticism for Americans taking ‘American’ when there are many many more countries in The Americas and have yet to see the term above until now, but it doesn’t bother me any.

Why is it that if he’s a dumb young 20 he can’t gain any intelligence? Why is the line I keep seeing from people “well he didn’t know at the time, and that’s damning enough”, like, do you know anyone who has ever signed up for the military at 18-25 to bd ‘smart’ or informed?

Thank you for this. I gave it a good (confusing) read, they could stand to type in less capitals.

I can see the regulations outlined, but not that he was turned away for it being a known nazi symbol or anything based on that description, it sounds like he got a tattoo without clearing it or reporting it on his paperwork and chose not to appeal, based on his words there in the reddit post.

I appreciate you finding that for me, it was hard to parse all the google garbage

Thanks anyway! Yeah military jargon and acronyms out the ass go hand in hand and any manager that’s a vet I’ve worked for just tosses them around like ‘sentence enhancers’.

If you know about MARADMIN, can you elaborate on what he means? I looked it up and understand it as a kind of code of conduct, but don’t see what changed in 2007, just that he said a USMC based tattoo was what prevented him.

Can you give a source on that or a general direction on where to look? I’ve heard about the tattoo and looked into it during the initial controversy and did not find that information at the time.

Boo, “pro censorship” arguments presented as concern for others.

God I wanna be like you, or at least have my brain be a little more like your brain.

Essentially saying we’ll just ‘install’ piracy, as FitGirl is a major player in the piracy scene (as far as games go, no clue if they do other things).

Unless I’m wrong and Fitgirl now has repacks for major android/iOS apps that can be utilized through an existing app interface.

I have a little, it’s to try and get me and my partner the hell out of this state. Not enough for a house, but enough for a used car and a u-haul and first and last month’s rent somewhere else.

A lot of us are living paycheck to paycheck, we’re lucky to be a bit above that and not have kids. Almost all the people we know from high school and college are in worse boats than us.

And advocating for a general strike is ILLEGAL and a very easy charge in Trump’s America at this point.

I’ve been rolling around forums and whatnot to see the interest for such topics, and they seem high, but no one is talking about what I’m supposed to do to pay for my pets and apartment when I have 0 support structures in a deeply red state. They don’t treat the homeless very well here, and it’s freezing half the year.

Not that you’re saying it’s easy, you rightly pointed out food too. I just wish there were more resources, or ways to get connected. My community does the No Kings protests, but most of them balked at the Kirk shooting so they’re not quite radicalized enough for the other actions that a not-entirely-peaceful protest would bring.

Oh that’s fun, you ignored all the rest.

I didn’t say they were extremists, I said they held some fundamental beliefs. The ones I see that are modern american Muslims, maybe once a week, it’s gone down since college for sure.

Bonus answer: no way, people don’t all wear religious clothing? Where did you get the impression I said I knew someone was Muslim by eyesight? I see a few Sikhs, sure, but most Muslim men, where I am, don’t where traditional clothing, maybe some handmade shirts from their trips back home but they’re still collared shirts and buttons ups in a western style. I have met maybe two women who are Muslim that don’t wear some kind of religious attire, be that a headwrap or a niqab. They also drank beer and were fond of the occasional midnight bacon burger, so they were far from being very devout.

Got more?

Maybe, it’s not what I see every day. I meet fundamentalists all the time, even if they don’t consider themselves one. Do US Christians practice fundamentalist christianity to the tee? No, they wear polyester and don’t properly take the sabbath and go off the rails about the 10 commandments all the time. But they THINK they adhere to the faith they were raised in. Even my progressive Muslim friends in college still held some ass-backwards beliefs they didn’t shed because, to them, that’s still modern interpretation or socially acceptable interpretation of their religious text.

You write like I’m painting all Muslims as regressive. Please, consider instead that I’m saying all religions, at their root, are regressive and it is the shedding of those beliefs that lead to a more modern form of that religion, but it does not entirely root out the thoughts/beliefs that founded the faith.

Ask a progressive Muslim what they think about child marriage as it relates to the prophet, or a Baptist Christian what they think about homosexuality, or a hassidic Jew what they think about the modesty of today’s clothing. You’ll get regressive answers from just about every single one, or, that’s been my experience.

All religions I’ve read about so far, that I can recall, are. Islam is, christianity is. If Abraham was a cornerstone to your stories, there’s a good chance there’s some oppression there.

Oppressing your slaves by allowing them to exist at all and the determinations of who CAN be kept. Oppressing your daughters with religious traditions about marriage and subservience to your parents/husband. I can go on, not that this is strictly about Islam, this applies just about everywhere when applied from a fundamentalist viewpoint, and even those that don’t still harken to societal norms built on those fundamentalist values (tons of my Muslim friends in college had big fights about the white women they were bringing home…from the rural US where white women are the most common women for them to meet). Crazy business to not see that

The shirt was a pro-feminism message that’s reportedly been used by groups in the past.

If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights, then I give 0 fucks if someone makes a statement or shirt or whatever about those messages.

Don’t shit on religious people for their nice beliefs, like don’t play thrash metal on blast in the parking lot of a bakesale for the church. But anythjng about it’s messaging or reach or the negative aspects and I’m all game.

I have pets that need fed, rent that needs paid, and survival to keep in mind.

Can you link me to resources to help me provide for those things while I’m 24/7 rioting?

I don’t know what the server rules are, but there’s a good chance (if it’s like others I see) it requires the poster to post the headline exactly as it’s written. And that’s the headline the link uses.

Sensationalism, yes. But reporting him might not really be worth the mod’s time if that’s a rule for this instance.

And my neighbors are rural Trumpers. I still don’t grasp what the hell it is they’re after.

Big data, plot points from individuals, statistical regressions. That’s what you need to make those claims. If not, it’s personal anecdotes, personal anecdotes from someone who lived in the geographical region, yes, but just anecdotes.

Yeah I’d agree with the idea that a society historically repressed would slingshot to nude beaches right away. I just wouldn’t make commentary on how likely a populace of oppressed people might seek freedoms and make the same mistake of assuming what their culture is when neither of us has heard what the people of said country wants.
