In his defense, he doesn't think of them as people.

I would say these ghouls don't think of anyone that is not a part of the ruling class as people.
They pretend they care when children are shot in school shootings. But when one of their loyal soldiers is the target, that's when you get to see what their reaction is like when they actually care.

Fucking PREACH! The conservatives have absolutely whipped our ass on the propaganda front and I have no qualms fighting fire with fire.

The best part is that you don’t need propaganda on the lying or omitting truth sense. All you need is the spine to say loudly what they’re already saying themselves in a critical way instead of a supportive one.

That's different, those vets are "spent", it would be so much easier if they all just, y'know, dropped dead.

Disgusting.

The kind of people who propose these things (murdering all homeless people) have no idea what they're saying. They're so detached from reality it might do them some good if they go touch some grass.

I'd like it if they became homeless.

well yeah, making common experience might install some common sense in them.

The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Reasoning with them is like shooting an arrow at a target that doesn't exist.

calling out their hypocrisy VERBALLY is complimenting them. maybe we got better ways to call it out than with words

Fucking psychos.

Why did you make your post about veterans? Do you think willingness to kill brown people on the other side of the world for free collage makes you more deserving of not being hunted for sport?

Serves those vets right. Why should anyone care about those murderous thugs?

Sometimes sarcasm land with the audience; but other times...

It wasn't sarcasm- I have no sympathy for the murderous veterans of America's invasions.

I think that the problem is that they have no problem with the irony of this statement.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 333d
yeah how dare anyone be poor and have no options to leave an abusive family but to do plumbing on a military base then be homeless. FUCK THE MURDEROUS BASTARD apparently
WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social · 2 pts · 333d
That’s exactly my point.
You can’t call for death of a group of people whilst complaining about people celebrating the death of another.

Doesn't matter what your job is on the Death Star, you still helped blow up Alderaan.

and real life is obviously as simple as a pulp movie written by George Lucas who, as has been established, can't write for shit when he's not being constrained by everyone else on the movie set. grow up dude, meet some people who actually serve rather than vilifying them.

Except we're talking about the homeless. And that's not just veterans.
