I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?

Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.

Pretty sure the joke of this is exactly what you said - defending the Constitution makes you anti-fascist

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

Its no joke.

[-] TaterTot@piefed.social 15 points 10 months ago

Well... at the very least it's not "haha" funny

[-] luciferofastora@feddit.org 15 points 10 months ago

The joke is the subversion of expectations. Under the caption "Antifa uniform", you would normally expect something less "official" or formal, since the public image is one of generic Anti-establishment rebels.

The juxtaposition of that preconception with the formal dress of a decorated military officer is intended to surprise and provoke thought.

Jokes don't need to be fictional or untrue. With the right framing to misdirect expectations, reality can be enough to subvert them.

that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.

Yeah, that's the point.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 64 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That's the point.

Upholding the oath requires defying the president. Trump doesn't understand this because he's an egomaniac. But it's interesting that military personnel are starting to feel comfortable enough to actually post about this. I still wonder what would happen if the order was given to fire on protesters.

The Trump administration will need to MAGAfy the army before they can do this.

They workin' hard at it. Its now a requirement for all of us currently serving to have watched Kegsbreath's speech to the Generals.

I had already watched it as it was happening just because I wanted to be mentally prepared for what would be coming, and I was saddened/pissed/horrified.

The second watch through wasn't any better.

And there ain't too many Master Sergeants. At E-8, most dudes go first sergeant and take on an administrative role. This guy said I want to keep doing infantry shit. All the respect in the world for guys who take the hard path.

How did you see the photo but not the captions?

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

What captions

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 10 months ago

[-] falseWhite@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

No caption in the photo. But I see one above the photo, in the attached image.

Thank you for making a former Redditor feel right at home with the pedantry ❤️

So, is the WWII memorial in DC going to be torn down, because that’s 100% Antifa?

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 28 points 10 months ago

Wouldn't put it past this administration.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

They might try.

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 49 points 10 months ago
