Literally, thank you 😭

All good! Apologies for not being kinder.

He literally said in a reddit comment that he joined to kill people and even recently he’s only criticized US war mongering as being “pointless” and harmful to US soldiers. He also had a tattoo that sure resembled a Totemkoff (Nazi symbol) and one of his comments shows that he did know of the symbol, so it seems very unlikely he just got it by accident.

So no, it has very little to do with a period of time and everything to do with people having to actually show remorse and not probably being Nazis. I can’t speak to everyone BE is criticizing but he’s very directly criticized specific liberals who are straight up lying about Platner’s past by saying “oh poverty draft”, meanwhile he was EAGER to do it and not even in need of money.

I’m not sure who the other party you’re referring to at the end there is, but again Platner doesn’t even make big claims about regret, his platform is partially about building up the US military, and he’s said hardly a lick about the horrible shit he did to people. Hardly the token guy that we need to redeem, he hasn’t done shit.

Obviously not lol. It’s criticizing the libs who are glazing Graham Platner, someone who did like 3 tours in the Middle East plus a stint with Blackwater and who literally said in old reddit comments that he joined the military to kill people.

In spite of his history (and fairly privileged background), you’ll have libs saying that actually everything he did was fine bc of the “poverty draft”. The point being made here is doing evil shit doesn’t get a pass bc it got you ahead in life (especially considering that the argument doesn’t even really apply to Platner, who clearly had bad intentions going in, didn’t need the money, and isn’t very remorseful).

Are you referring to Graham Platner?? Because that’s the only person I’ve seen BE specifically admonish and treat as irredeemable, and Platner is laughably far from being redeemed.

That middle paragraph you have there about an 18 year old who joins and soon quits and feels regretful is literally the same example BE has used as someone who is actually redeemable.

I don’t know BE well enough to speak on the Trump point, but considering how much you seem to be mischaracterizing his point here, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re wrong there as well.
