Communism is when gay soldiers

Following this line of logic, the soviet union, the gayest army on earth, beat fascism in the 40's.

They allowed women in combat roles in the 1940's, literally the most woke military on earth at the time.

Only when gay soviet soldiers yes

On one hand, discrimination is bad. On the other hand, less people in the military is good.

Destroying the facade of rainbow imperialism would be a major victory for the left, and republicans are doing it for us

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

True, but I'd much rather rainbow imperialism die to progressive foreign powers, rather than regressive policies from within. Oh well.

Very much a "let them fight" thing. If it radicalizes a few more queer folk against imperialism, all the better. vivian-shrug

Yes it ruins assimilation into the normative and oh suddenly a lot of combat experience pissed off people are looking for an explanation.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

If it stopped at the military and other tools of empire, yeah. But I feel it's going to happen everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago

Fuck the military but it's absolutely a bad sign because anything they do in the military reflects what they're going to do outside of it. Changes in the US Military almost always presage changes elsewhere in US society. It went that way with integration, gay and then trans acceptance - and now they're rolling the last one back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. It'll not cripple the military, it'll just make it less diverse and prevent queer chuds from accessing the same opportunities that cishetallo chuds have

It'll not cripple the military

sadness You're probably right, but I can hope. Maybe this combined with other recruitment negative policies will at least reduce their strength?

But recruitment is starting to climb back up, even though branches aren't meeting their quotas, so who knows.

Yeah, Trump's made it pretty clear he's not friendly to trans people, and we make an easy target.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 weeks ago

Keep going please. Destroy rainbow imperialism

"...reflects a Marxist agenda"

Keep it up folks, just making marxism look cooler

On one hand less well armed gay people is bad. On the other, abolishing the US Navy is good

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

the military already can't meet recruitment goals

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Eh, they've already been coming for other groups. Kinda bitter at all my fellow gay and trans friends that seemed a lot less progressive over the past year.
