    I’m well aware that the military preys on the vulnerable. I’m also well aware that Planter openly admitted to volunteering not out of desparation, but pleasure. I will not back off when it comes to anti-imperialism, you’re throwing the question of US imperialism and settler-colonialism under the rug because the conclusions are damning for your argument. The US Empire must be dismantled.

    Further, I am not OP. You are not talking to OP. I raised the points of Platner’s participation in US imperialism and war crimes, his Nazi tattoos, and the fact that supporting bourgeois parties will never bring about worker emancipation. Stop bringing up the article like it has anything to do with what I am saying, I was responding to your “vote blue no matter who” claim.

      You’re not on the left. The left has been making fun of the phrase blue no matter who for over ten years now.

      Please stop throwing up windmills and straw men.

      Bye

      I hereby declare you lose all credibility for using blue no matter who phrase unironically. Dang. You must be ashamed of yourself

        I’m a Marxist-Leninist, I’m absolutely on the left. You quite literally stated “vote blue no matter who” in the very beginning, then proceeded to keep mentioning the article despite me never bringing it up. This is a literal line from you:

        Vote blue no matter who folks, Platner kicks ass.

        I was not using it, I was responding to your point.

          Hey bro or sis or what not, maybe you can’t understand irony, I dunno… but yea… I’m not a blue no matter who guy, you’re reading comprehension or something is off if you thought or think that….

          In this instance, the folks who always say vote blue no matter who will not be voting blue no matter who, they will continue to look up who platner’s girlfriend was when they were both 15 and he got an erection and she was offended.
