      Yep. It was a whole controversy when nominating him, and more are unpictured.

      Technically they are “Christian Nationalist” Crusade-symbolism tattoos, which is apparently inside this country’s overton window now :/

        Christian Nationalists are basically white nationalists. White nationalists are US-flavoured Nazis. KKK material.

        They should be a fringe group shunned by all society, perhaps given mental help and deprogramming treatment. In this timeline though they are out-and-proud and in positions of power.

        Well, that was obvious from things he’s said and done. But being an actual fascist and having painfully obvious tattoos aren’t a 1:1 correlation.

    Yeah, but Mac has a soul and is genuinely good a few times through the series. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any sort of redeeming behavior from Hegseth.

        This sort of argument makes me feel like I’m surrounded by crazy people. It really feels like absolutely everyone understands, even if they won’t admit it, that shit posts cannot be political. They can’t have any sort of agenda other than being dumb as fuck. They are a silly source of amusement, and an agenda destroys the concept of a shitpost entirely.

        I will gladly piss on 47s grave if I ever get the chance because I absolutely hate the fucker and his entire administration. But there are just SO MANY other comms that something like this can go into. There are comms specifically for political memes, which this clearly is, and this would even fit in just fine in c/memes or a dozen others.

        It feels completely disingenuous for people to argue that this qualifies as a shitpost.

          Everybody that wants to pretend they don’t have a responsibility for the way politics has become thinks the same way.

          Were doing this political meme crap because its the reverse of how we all got into this shit situation to begin with, and we shouldn’t have allowed everyone to blindly get off into the political wilderness. Were backtracking, that’s how you get people out of the wilderness (so to speak)

          We especially don’t just let the young and inexperienced members of the group wander out there further and further into the shit looking for some path that may get them out or through that might not, and probably does not, exist.

          We go back to where we got off this way, or at least close enough that walking through the wilderness isn’t the worst idea in the world to get through again.

          Were in this together. We need you engaged even though you might not prefer how we are forced to fight the fight you would prefer to hide from. You aren’t the only people were here to think of.

              Edit: Deleted comment was how this guy should want politics in his memes or it shouldn’t be there and there’s no safe spaces for him, how its harmful to quote “force engagement on him”, and how fucked up that is and how I am quote “forcing him to disengage” and how that’s not helping the political situation and how I quote “see that right?” (spoiler: I did not, in fact, see that)

              Why are you assuming you matter more then other people here? And how is that causing harm exactly?

              “I’ll hurt myself if you don’t do what I want” That’s what you just did.

              Its real ‘Im the main character’ shit. And its pathetic. And every crybaby coward clown on EARTH use it to force conformity in their little ingroups. Its so fucking pathetic. Like you can’t get support on merits. So you resort to hurting yourself if I don’t conform to your bullshit?

              Fuck you for trying that shit on me

              That’s how we got into this situation to begin with. Your just mad it was YOUR fault YOU fucked off long ago and let it get this way and were reminding you of that shit every time you see a political meme you could have easily made yourself and got self respect that you will not be able to get back now by doing this ‘have some respect for me’ performance bit.

              Ostriches (who literally bury their heads in the sand or dirt as a reaction to adversity) are always mad when the predator shows up to eat them. They were SO sure that not having to SEE it happening would save them and all their friends. But it just helps you feel comfortable and safe. Reality is still right there. Ready to fuck you up whenever it gets around to it.

              Im sorry for your loss. But your self respect is waiting for you just like it was waiting for you way back then. I hope you can find it. Because this is the future you helped set up either through your actions. Or your lack of it.

              You either help us to stop this clown show or you become a part of it, whether you want to be or not.

              The least you can do is put up with the memes 💀

              Edit: last line is now about how youre a little bitch. Make sure you don’t hurt yourself on your pillows you fucking baby

                  Of course you diddnt read it

                  Cowards dont read shit. They “look through” just enough to see if anything can be used to attack the idea that they are responsible for anything (that they dont like of course) or justify their garbage views and then fuck off back to their self serving masturbation chambers.

                  Get bent you bitchless wonder.
