So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Rob Schneider is a stapler

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 70 points 2 months ago

I didn't know who he was so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Apparently he's a fucking moron.

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 59 points 2 months ago

That he is. South Park made fun of him a lot back in the day

Most of the time comments like this make me feel old, since I would imagine the majority of people my age absolutely know who he is without even thinking about it. But this time it makes me feel good knowing that even now there's gonna be a ton of people who never heard of him before and that will keep growing as time goes on.

Classic chickenhawk, lives 60-something years without serving in military, and now thinks other people should serve in the military.

I was going to call him a joke, but then that would give him more credit than he is due.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 18 points 2 months ago

Sorry, I don't take geopolitical advice from a man whose most notable acting roles included starring in The Hot Chick.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

I think his most notable role was a bit character in Waterboy. "You can do it!".

[-] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 18 points 2 months ago

It's also worth remembering that the character in question was simultaneously incredibly vicious, stupid and naive.

He may not have even been acting, now that I think about it.

Is Schneider a Pedo? Why is he supporting pedo policies? Sounds like a pedo to me.

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I have long believed that only pedos (or wannabes) defend pedos. Everyone else is too viscerally repulsed to get anywhere near it, even with mere words.

So yeah, I unironically see a pedo defender and think, "Pedo."

Exactly what freedom is being threatened by Iran? The freedom to distract people from the Epstein files maybe?

Anyo e advocating for the military service for others should put their money where their mouth is and sign up, regardless of age.

[-] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

I was gonna say that. Rob could go to Iran and fight them if he believes draft is necessary

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

unfortunately thats the problem with stupid cunts like him. They are super eager to send YOUR children to die, but will never send his loved ones.

What a lapdog piece of shit.

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

As someone who served 20 years in the US military... we created the Reserves so we don't ever have to enact a draft again. There are enough people serving in the Reserves to cover us if we go to war. It's our compromise to avoid drafting people ever again.

Heck, I joined just before the Iraq war started back in the early 2000s and folks in the Reserves were shocked to find out they were tagged to go to war first. The active duty military is already running operations around the globe; we can't just abandon all our bases and active missions to run to war. So we sent in the Reserves first to set up shop and create a stable environment before moving active duty personnel and resources to the region. As an active duty member, working for a deployment squadron at the time, I didn't actually see Iraq until 2007.

To be more precise, there are career fields in the military that are designed specifically for boots-on-ground operations, and those active duty career fields were technically the first members to go to war. But after an area was secured, then we'd send in Reserves behind them to help set up and maintain local bases and operations until active duty could eventually filter in and take over full-time.

Its free to say nothing.

He's been a piece of shit for a long time but I also wonder if shit like this is a conservative cash grab. Like he's gonna start saying the reason he doesn't make as much money as he wants is liberal backlash to the horrendous shit he says, as opposed to him just being a nepo hack. Then waits for conservative offers to roll in and plaster his face around their circuit of ghouls for easy money.

I just watched an episode of Last Week Tonight where Rob said some nice things about Victor Orban, or something along those lines. Not that Rob really ever had any credibility but anything he had is now gone.

Hey rob, come draft this turd out of my ass.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 9 points 2 months ago

Because we need even more parallels with Vietnam? I mean I kinda agree but for opposite reasons. The draft is how we got people breaking into the FBI offices and revealing cointelpro. Maybe a draft will motivate enough of us to liberated the rest of the Epstein files.

More attention grabbing comments from the most unserious buffoon of an "actor".

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

I wonder whether Mr Schneider can point to any of those hard-won freedoms in this, Mr Trump's second year of 4.

I agree that freedoms must sometimes be won, but without any freedoms in evidence it's a hard sell.

Says our freedoms are the envy of the world.

I think I can speak for all of Sweden when I say: we are not even remotely envious of US "freedom"

There's this "old" song I think express our views just fine

We're not living in America. But we're not sorry, I knew there was something that we never had. We don't worry. No, we're not living in America. But we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you
