Now I know you’re not an ideologically serious person. You refused to engage with anything I said and instead doubled down on missing every single point I brought up.
Anything you say from here out is obviously informed solely by identity and not ideology.
If actual ideology was the basis of your reasoning you would have brought up a single ideological point but you didn’t and instead kept going back to identity.
If you can name one critique that isn’t just about his previous identity and your inability to let people grow and I’ll recant about you not being serious but I severely doubt you can.
As an organization the US military is evil and their recruitment strategies prey on poor people who want an out that doesn’t typically exist.
I have sympathy for them, but I also don’t think it applies to former blackwater mercs.
People should be judged based on where they are now, their actions in the present, and their self-criticism of their past actions.
There’s all sorts of reasons I could point to why Graham Platner is unfit to be a leader in any leftist movement but the most glaring one is that as far as I can tell from his statements he thinks the US wasn’t engaged in anything wrong overseas.
As for not being malicious or not being a criminal, here’s one of his posts where he talks about disobeying direct orders in order to commit even more warcrimes than he would otherwise be allowed to:
