#we've got some issues with classism in our movement

[melancholic-pigeon]

I'm pleased that on this veteran's day, I haven't seen any bad posts mocking veterans!

Like, mock the army, please, seriously; don't mock the teenagers who got preyed on and lied to by recruiters or the vets who are permanently disabled because of the atrocities they were put through and witness to or the people who were drafted and didn't have a choice. Vets =/= the army. "Support veterans" and "fuck the army for making them" are two statements that can and should co-exist.

But it's nice that for the first time maybe ever my dash hasn't had any bullshit of the kind that floats around on the fourth of July where people hear "hey fireworks sound like gunshots and can be extremely triggering to veterans" and think "LOLOL THEY DESERVE IT"

So uh thanks moots for being decent, reasonable people. It restored some of my faith in humanity.
