new motto: non adipem mulieres
no fat chicks.
This photo brings up a question I have.
I don’t know if there are any active service members here on Lemmy. And if there are, if they’re even free to express an answer to this question.
But I was wondering what it must feel like for a serving soldier to be compelled to stand at attention and salute this man; this National Guard wash-out that has never actually served any day in his life but suddenly found himself in a position where men and women FAR better than him, have to salute him.
Segregation is coming back to the states, in every area.
Not the grunts, just the top brass. They don’t care what color you are for you to be sent into the meat grinder.
even banning trans people from enlistment is intentional for keeping people they don’t like down. historically in america military service has been a MASSIVE social stepping stone for the underprivileged. it’s hard for them to call you a coward when you fought in a war for them. it’s hard for them to say you would be a bad neighbor when you were a good brother in arms.
many black families used it as their first step out of poverty and into acceptance. now trans people, who are derided as cowards and corrupting influences on your community, are being denied that privilege. vance and co. are very aware of this.
Well, that’s a very good point. And frustrating.
Sleeping in a jar! Sleeping in a jar! The jar is under the bed! Sleeping in a jar!
That’s a good way to keep people closed minded and trained. When they are not exposed to people different from them, they can keep their bigoted ignorant thoughts.
The archive.is and archive.today sites have been caught changing text of articles to fit the Russian narrative.
I can’t say I know of an alternative.
Do you have a cite for that? This is the first I heard of this.
That doesn’t mention any Russian narrative. They altered a page as part of their personal grudge with that blogger. The same blog targeted in the DDoS attack.
Oh let him have his fun. Some people see 15 Russians behind every tree and the slightest breeze is caused by the KGB.
They’re garden-variety Flat Earthers and Moon landing denialists, and are every bit as entertaining.
Not good just the same. Hacking readers’ computers via a capta exploit is some next level nefarious shit above and beyond changing archived text.
Both violate users’ trust though. I had no idea about this.
OK, but I’d still like a source for the actual thing claimed about pushing Russian narrative.

Not good, for sure. Sucks that there’s no working alternative. It’s trivial to not participate in the DDoS at least. uBO blocks it by default.
Archive.org the original and best.
Doesn’t do what archive.today does, unfortunately. This article wouldn’t be available in wayback.

What a shit-for-brains drunken fuckwit.
We need you to die for us, but only if you have the right genitals.
Genitals win or lose wars, apparently.
Put brown people at the most dangerous places.
The military has a long history of doing that.
