      Hell ain’t real.

      Trying to equivocate the atrocities of the US military as being “not as bad” as what ICE is doing to US citizens is tacitly implying that those being oppressed in the global South by US military are less worthwhile than that of US citizens.

          I have, unfortunately your metaphor sucked and only served to further imply that those of the global south are somehow less worthwhile than US citizens.

      I don’t mean to be abrasive here, but if you really believe that, you may either not know what the US military actually does or you may think people in the Global South are less worthwhile than those in the USA (like it says in the title of the post).

          I don’t want to be a Debbie downer, but in this case they’re right. It’s literally impossible to argue. Look at the rape rates of enlisted women to see what we do to our own, let alone the people we’ve dehumanized.
