People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

You can even try to claim some more weird ass non-existing morality points by pointing out that Hey, the US doesn't even recruit soldiers all that much nowadays... they just hire private companies now... See? US military good, it's mercenaries that are bad.
Ya know... like Wagner Group. Oh no... guess they're more alike than you think.

So your logic is that the U.S. is equally as bad as Russia because they hire mercenaries, so bums working on AC units back home share the same blame as hired guns and professional soldiers.

What a ridiculous group of people.

What a ridiculous group of people.

I know, right? I equally despise the military industrial complex at large, as well as those who are just following orders/helping out in the background and their online simps.
