yeah sure death to america and the american war machine but you all understand youre not actually doing anything by purposely setting off fireworks to trigger military vets? like i dont even get it. what does that even do. it doesnt do anything about the people they possibly hurt overseas, it doesn't help their victims, it doesn't even protest military action abroad. it's just a deliberately malicious action that serves to make someone's life less pleasant. i guess if that's what you wanna do, go you. but i just don't see how any of it does anything to combat american militarism. just seems like diet propaganda of the deed

#like the problem are the oligarchs who direct the soldiers #yes obviously the soldiers are a problem. no one should serve in the military period #but it's also like... what does triggering some vet's ptsd do? it does nothing. i suppose it could make u feel bigger #but if you're an american and you think you're combatting militarism by doing that... i think you actually need to think #about why you think your action of terrorizing your soldier neighbor does anything actionable for those harmed by your neighbor #and whether what you're doing is actually for those people you imagine yourself revenging or for your own personal reasons #bc like. it's literally a nothingburger. it isnt even that funny honestly #it's just like. ok. you triggered your soldier neighbor. what now lol #like what did you accomplish by doing that. other than make someone else feel bad so you can feel good. that's not activism #like i'm not saying i care either way. but seeing a 2k post where ppl think they're partaking in antiwar protest or smth #by talking about how much they want to trigger their soldier neighbors on fourth of july ..... like lmfao. cmon
