Summary
Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s embattled nominee for defense secretary, has denounced policies allowing openly gay troops and women in combat roles as part of a “Marxist” agenda undermining military readiness.
In his book The War on Warriors and past interviews, Hegseth criticized the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” and argued that inclusivity erodes standards.
Accused of misconduct, his views against women in combat and seeing inclusivity as a threat to national security have been closely examined during his confirmation process.
“Under capitalism, there are no gay troops. Under socialism, all troops are gay.”
-Karl Marx, probably
you can drop the “probably”. he says those words exactly on every page of das kapital volume 3, although few people make it that far so it’s not exactly common knowledge
Are the “Marxists” in the room with us right now?
Looks nervously at .ml … they are - but they’re the cool ones that are just a bit too fond of furry art.
My oh my. The next 4 years are gonna be a fucking trainwreck.
From a concerned onlooker…Good luck, America!
He’s offended by the fact that certain people exist? That is not a good sign.
What’s funny is that the gay men community is one of the fittest. Goes to the gym every day crowd.
41.9% of the country is obese.
Who’s gonna fight your wars?
Ah yes. The Four Long Years of Desperate Insanity Journalism have begun.
Settle in, lefties! Your incessant despising of the Democrats is going to pay off bigly!
You have that flipped. Lefties vote Democrat for the most part for damage reduction. Democrats despise lefties. See the treatment of Bernie and AOC. The latter of which is currently being blocked by Pelosi for her committed chair bid.
I wish it was flipped. I had plenty of discussions with lefties who informed me in sneering tones that I was a liberal, I was transphobic for supporting Harris blah blah blah. There were no shortage of “not going to vote to suppor this broken system!” garbage, don’t even get started on the third party bullshit. Lefties (or, to be clear, accounts representing themselves as “left” for whatever that might mean to them at the moment and presuming they are human) stated many many times in loud arrogant ways they wouldn’t support Democrats ever, (even if they eventually said they’d vote Harris) it wasn’t anything like support. Just panic.
Look- the fact of the matter is a lot of people get high and move out of their parents house where they become super libertarian anarchist man and for awhile stop understanding that running things is very boring, and everything takes a shit-ton of money. There are zero answers to any of those problems with anything any “lefty” has promoted prior to the election here, other than being very confident it’s not a problem and of course it can be done. Well, since now’s their chance, whatta they got? It’s been real quiet. And it will remain quiet.
Here’s what’s going to happen - three-point-five years of hellish, nightmarish horror, followed immediately by a shit ton of <30d accounts talking shit about the Democrats and declaring the system broken and unsupportable. There’s a good solid three-point-five years for these people to jump in and make that change they want to see. Let’s see it. Prove me wrong, so called lefties. Please.
