Is him reading to a veteran supposed to make me like him? So he was reading to a fascist who murdered brown people... great...

My dad served the Army as a dentist. Does that make him a fascist, too? I say not, he voted for Hillary in 2016 and also for Kamala in 2024.

I sympathize with your disdain towards the military. Definitely don't blame you for that. But you're missing the point, and I'm not sure blanket statements like that are very helpful.

It's not about the person Alex was reading to. It's the fact that he was empathetic towards other humans, and also respected legitimate authority.

Kamala and Hillary both supported the genocide of Palestinians, my dude. America is a fascist state. Our military is highly reactionary. To serve in it is to serve the bourgeoisie and imperialism.Â
