Army Gen. Mark Milley pushed back on claims from Republicans that the military is “woke” and as a result not prepared to take on modern threats, saying he’s “not even sure what that word truly means.”
“What I see is a military that’s exceptionally strong. It’s powerful; it’s ready. In fact, our readiness rates, the way we measure readiness, is better now than they’ve been in years,” Milley said in a CNN interview Sunday.
Republican politicians and candidates have blasted the Pentagon for so-called woke policies, pointing to efforts to recruit a diverse group of military service members and be inclusive to transgender soldiers.
Those claims have also headlined efforts to reduce military spending.
I love how republicans navigated themselves into a position where the best thing anyone else can do is ignoring them.
No discussion, because it doesn’t lead anywhere.
No listening to them, because they talk about the end of the white race, autism from vaccines or woke stuff.
It’s like living with children, but you at least listen to a child when something bothers them. You don’t care for republicans, conservatives or nazis. It doesn’t matter how they call themselves. At this point, they march together and therefore are the same.
If only they hadn’t the right to vote…things could be easier.
(If you read any kind of 4chan conspiracy theory about leftist communist cannibals from lizard space who want to abolish their right to vote, now you now where it came from.)
A world where conservatives don’t have the right to vote is possible, but can’t be done through electoral politics. Its not as lazy as “Lets overthrow the government man” either. You can work with your friends to create a network of powerful mass organizations. Things like worker owned small businesses (co ops), mutual aid programs, neighborhood watches, and unions! If enough people do that, then it will be way more effective than voting, because what those mass organizations do is not determined by the rich men north of Richmond.
If one of those organizations doesn’t exist in your area, then now you have an easy avenue towards making friends and meeting people. If you want to be liked, and enjoy getting yelled at, then this sort of local activism is great.
If one of those organizations exists in your area, then you don’t have to deal with the stress of being in any leadership position unless you really want to.
Especially if you live in a small community, you can run for local office once your mass organization is successful enough. At that point you should join a national organization that matches your groups ideals.
