    Are you slow? Do you think I’m defending Musk and Rogan?

    I’m saying your military - and your country - is a piece of shit force of evil in this world, and has always been, regardless of your idiot in chief. Any comic painting it as smiling empathetic friends is propaganda.

    I can’t be any more clear than this.

      And I’m saying view it through the lens of the average American liberal who wants their military to be this image, this is what they think it is, this is what they want it to be, and forces like Musk and Rogan are trying to influence them away from this.

      You are in your rights to hate the US military, many of us with any shred of understanding about the world do, but this comic is a window into American minds at large, and needs to be understood as a piece representing the average American starting to turn on the current narrative that would see you, and your country, wherever you are, harmed far worse than anything we’ve done before.

        No. And that’s exactly the problem.

        You think fostering this narrative over your military is safer/better than the alternative, but it is under this malicious narrative that you’re happily delivering aid that you’ve invaded and sabotaged a lot of countries, all with thunderous applause from your own populace.

        but this comic is a window into American minds at large, and needs to be understood as a piece representing the average American starting to turn on the current narrative that would see you, and your country, wherever you are, harmed far worse than anything we’ve done before.

        BOTH of these narratives harm my country and many others. Both of them. Do not attempt to take a moral high ground because your version of your military is got sunshine and rainbows. It’s the same fucking deal regardless of the democrat or republican in power, one party is just much more open about it than the other.
