...b-because your blog is full of thoroughly sourced, rational arguments and counter-arguments? Huh. I s'pose I need to scroll down a lot further, then. Maybe tape down the 'Page Down' key. ETA: Well, I got to the dick pics but haven't found a single cogent argument yet. Or even an argument over a sentence or two in length. How terribly unexpected!

a lot of American leftists refuse to see members of the American military in the same light as other groups who commit atrocities because they have a personal connection to people who’ve been a part of it. But there’s no world where you can have a cohesive worldview and somehow see the US military (a completely voluntary military service) as unique and innocent in comparison to institutions like the police, border police, the IDF, etc. the lengths people will go to try and absolve these people of their actions is insane
