look up TIK on youtube, he's a historian that does a lot of videos talking about WW2 history, and his videos all include direct sources and quotation so you know where the information is coming from. He also makes sure to only use good primary sources, and in general his videos are extremely well researched and put together. He's done several series, including ones for Operation Battleaxe, Operation Market Garden, everything that went on in Stalingrad, and has a bunch of other videos that exactly some of the details behind the decsisions being made on the strategic level, like why Germany invaded Russia (it had to do with oil), the historical definitions and roots of socialism, capitalism, communism, marxism, and how they differ (and how to spot those differences yourself), alongside other things like the differences between public / private economy and similar informative stuff.
I realize it may seem like I'm shilling here, but TIK's youtube channel has been an goldmine in terms of learning about WWII history, including lots of stuff that normally doesn't get talked about (like all the battles and such that led up to Stalingrad, and the North Africa campaigns) as well as giving context behind why a lot of this stuff happened.
I dunno how bad things got in the army after I got out, but the soldiers I worked with wouldn't do that shit even if we were ordered to. We had an extremely low tolerance for bullshit and if something was wrong we had no issues making that clear. We'd do stupid busywork and other nonsense if told to, yes, but something that is obviously an unlawful order on the of it? It wasn't going to happen.
Note how it's just misogyny and specifically does NOT include misandry. They had to lobby to make sure misandry wasn't added because then all the crazy feminist's would have to stop saying shit like "kill all men" and all the other shit they spew. This is literally legalized gender discrimination.
Actually mass shootings like these happen all the time, most often in cities that already have strict gun control laws (looking at you Chicago), it's just that those are usually black-on-black and gang related, so the media doesn't bother to report on them. It's only when they need to frighten the public about guns that they start looking to cherry pick examples that they hope will support whatever narrative they're looking for. Even if there wasn't a big push to strip gun rights going to the Senate soon this sort of shit would still be happening, you just wouldn't be hearing about it.
The thing is that going by overall population the violence here in the states isn't that much worse than anywhere else. Yeah gun violence tends to be up, but that's primarily because that's the weapon of choice here, in countries that don't have readily available guns people just stab each other. Also worth keeping in mind that the top-five cities in the US for gun related violence are all major democrat led cities with strict gun control laws. And we already know from many surveys being done that most criminals in federal prison wouldn't have done the crime that got them there if they knew the victim was armed or likely to be armed.
Nah, she looked cute when she wasn't pretending to be a man. Looking at her now she just looks sad and depressed, like she's about to put a gun in her mouth and blow her own brains out. Not that surprising I suppose, considering it's nearly 50/50 odds of that exact thing happening when it comes to trans.
This "teacher" needs to go viral, people need to start calling the school board for their area demanding they be fired, and further this person needs to be canceled and just utterly half their life fucking ruined the exact same way they advocate for ruining other peoples lives. Do unto others.
I dunno about other peoples experience but in eight years in the (american) military the only racism I ever saw any evidence of was black soldiers being racist assholes to everyone else, including other black soldiers. And you could always tell which ones were like that, because they were the ones that were buddies with the the guy that ran the ethics office (or whatever it was called, it's been years since I've been in, the offices that claims of racial discrimination goes to), whom himself was always a black dude (usually an obese broke-dick put there because he couldn't be used for anything else) and they'd always hang out with each other even during work hours.
They would use the n-word every other sentence, call people crackers and use all sorts of racist language and usually didn't give a shit about how they spoke to anyone, because they knew they were untouchable unless the other person complaining about them was also black. It was some of the most disgusting behavior I've ever had the misfortune to witness. I actually had a conversation in RL recently about this very thing with a "friend" (I don't really know anymore after that conversation if I can honestly call them that tbh) who kept trying to circle back and talk about white supremacy in the military (even though he'd never served) when I was literally standing there trying to tell him how I'd never once seen it or even heard rumor of it happening, and how all the shit I did have experience with was from black soldiers being huge assholes (including to other blacks), and he just refused to hear it, as if he literally could not imagine that I was being honest with him.
The problem is, how do we know it was a sham election? How do we know anything said about the man is accurate? The press have completely proven over the last year how they simply cannot be trusted to be objective or partial about anything, as if somehow over the last decade or two any genuine honesty in the press has just completely evaporated.
Say what you will about Tim Pool but he is living proof that you are 100% correct in your statement. All that matters is skill and experience, if you can do a thing and prove you can do a thing then that's all anyone gives a shit about, unless they're an activist in which case you should steer clear of them regardless.
I have nothing meaningful to add to your post other than that I wish you luck. Though if I did have anything to add it would be to make sure to teach them about the importance of critical thinking skills and doing proper research with 1st hand sources, and how to spot when an opinion is being stated as a fact. Actually, maybe just do a whole class on logic fallacies and how to recognize them. There's actually a wiki page that covers pretty much every logic fallacy of note and describes how they work, it was interesting reading (honestly, it should probably be required reading).
You're not wrong. Half the reason the immigration back in the 20's and 30's went so well is because we shut down it down after a certain point and let the people that had made it in acclimatize and become proper americans culturally (if still acknowledging their roots from other countries). The problem now is that we don't do that, we just keep importing more and more and so we end up with communities that aren't american culturally, they're instead culturally some other country that has effectively invaded the united states, like those towns up in northern US that are entire made up of people from the middle east that unofficially use sharia law.
In fairness the bodycam footage of GF clearly shows he's high as a fucking kite. It's entirely possible he might have been genuinely honest about that because he was too drugged up to realize he shouldn't admit to it. Not that it matters much either way, as there's plenty of other reasons why Chauvin should be acquitted.
Why do you guys censor the name? Leave the name there, let everyone see who this idiot is. Social media is public domain, they have no right to privacy if they're posting this shit where everyone can see them. Half the reason people on the right constantly lose is because we're not willing to use the weapons of the enemy, ie: cancel culture and public shaming. But enough is enough, fucking shame these people. Make them regret they ever opened their fucking mouths. Get them canceled, call them employers and ask why they're continuing to employ psycho's that advocate for reeducation camps.
Reserves from pre-orders most likely. If I had to guess the people that bought the book did so in bulk and are likely representatives of whatever special interest group decided to buy him off. Book deals like this are an extremely common method of money laundering.
Was literally just about to type this. Book deals are a way of money laundering for elites. They don't expect for the books to actually sell to normal people, they expect that special interest groups that they made backroom deals with will buy a whole bunch of copies and then throw them in a dumpster, so that there are no immediately apparent direct evidence of bribery and collusion going on.
Is there some special context behind this that I'm unaware of? Like it only opened in limited theaters during specific times or something like that? I mean there's no way if it was a general release that it sold only 1 ticket, even people just randomly going to the movies and deciding to watch something they hadn't heard of should have done better than that.
Agreed. I could tolerate FET (female engagement teams) with female soldiers because they were hand picked to be the most physically capable female soldiers available and were required to search female civilians. I had no problem with them because they did their job well enough and, more importantly, they weren't part of our unit and did not participate in our patrols or missions unless we specifically knew ahead of time we were likely to need them.
But women in combat MOS? No thanks. As a former infantry guy myself I cannot imagine adding the stress of male/female interpersonal relations into a combat deployment. High stress, life or death struggles, young physically fit people... they're going to fuck, and then they're going to have emotional fallout and drama when they realize they're no good for each other. I've seen this happen time and time again after many deployments and that's when the female soldiers weren't in the infantry units and there was actually some separation, which thankfully kept that shit mostly relegated to support units.
But putting them in with the infantry? No thanks. I know there are some women that can do the job well enough, see my reference to the FET above, but the vast majority of them simply do not have the physical strength, size, or endurance to do the job. Adding that drama on top of all the other shit an infantryman goes through just seems like adding a time bomb to an already volatile situation.
That's not even getting into the inevitable pregnancies that will happen, either because the women are actively trying to get pregnant so they can go back home (this absolutely happens, a LOT), not having access to birth control, or having that birth control fail, or even just not using it because there isn't any to be had and thinking "pulling out" will be good enough. Pregnancy already happens on deployments all the time, it will just get worse if women get added to combat MOS.
But lets talk about another angle that most people don't consider. Hygiene. Women need stuff that men just don't (pads for example), and if you're out on a COP the access to those hygiene products may simply not be available. On top of that female soldiers (which will certainly be the minority in a combat MOS) are going to need their own billeting and their own bathrooms / showers. That increases the costs of logistics for this small COPs and also leads to feelings of perceived favoritism and special treatment, because when it's 18 guys stuffed into a billet intended for only 12 they just shrug their shoulders and suffer through because they know everyone else involved is in the same shit they are. But if they happen to know that their 2 female soldiers in their platoon are enjoying their own private 12-person billet entirely to themselves, alongside their own private bathroom facilities, suddenly that looks a lot like special treatment (because it absolutely is). And if you don't have those things, and you just go with unisex billeting and bathing facilities? That's when you start opening the door to massive increases in the risk of sexual assault and rape. Because you had all those stressors going on (which frequently lead to sex) but now on top of that you're making it so they're constantly seeing each other naked as well. Sex will happen, not all of it consensual. And not all of it male on female either, it could be female on male sexual assault or rape, since it's not like a military court is going to believe the women raped the man unless there's video evidence of it. Or hell, maybe the sex is consensual but the woman gets pregnant, doesn't want to get in trouble, and just says the man raped her so that she can get away with it without catching an article 15. Now the man is turbo-fucked, the woman gets to skate out on the rest of the deployment, and god knows what happens to the baby.
TLDR - Women shouldn't be in combat jobs in the military for a LOT of very good reasons, regardless of whether or not an individual woman is capable of doing the job.
But if you can still catch the coof, then it isn't actually a vaccine. Vaccine's are designed to prevent you from catching something entirely. If you get the polio vaccine there's no supposed to be "a reduced chance of catching polio", it's supposed to be no chance at all.
