Well he appears to be a prior enlisted who is now at West Point, so apparently his arcom, Afghan deployment, and time spent at air assault and airborne just whetted his appetite for getting hosed by the army. Which would be the only explanation for how he can get away with that haircut.

You have to admire someone who went E-O by getting into West Point and was completely out of fucks by then.

e: He was commissioned in 2016 and definitely gives no fucks.

quote:

Following the events in Charlottesville, Virginia in which a united left of socialists and anarchists pushed back the fascist menace that murdered Heather Heyer, a groundswell of emancipatory activity continues to grow. The toppling of the Confederate Soldiers Memorial in Durham, North Carolina has sounded the death knell for any and all displays of Confederate aggrandizement in the United States as well as abroad. Yet, the shadow of the Confederacy and its efforts to preserve slavery is not limited to the southern United States. From Seattle to Pennsylvania, the embodiment of white supremacy and racial violence against black people can be found just around the corner. But in this piece, I would like to focus on a specific place that preserves the Confederate legacy not often-discussed: my alma mater, the United States Military Academy. In every corner of West Point, New York, one can readily discover white supremacist iconography and visual rhetoric. There are some that stand out more than others. As we shall see, these sordid displays of the worst aspects of American history reify a profoundly racist culture that has existed since the inception of this country. In military parlance, my task here is to raise consciousness through the identification of these various memorials, tributes, and pieces of art; my purpose, however, is for these vile displays of racial oppression to be cast into the dustbin of history once and for all.

There can be no reconciliation with the Confederate States of America. Here, I would also like to emphasize that the condemnation of these monuments has everything to do with the Confederates’ being slaveowners, and nothing to do with disloyalty to the United States.

I and many others have confronted the administration of USMA regarding the Confederate iconography for a number of years now. They continue to drag their feet. Enough is enough. Whether you are a soldier, cadet, or civilian, the judgment of history is upon us. To cling to an imagined objectivity or neutrality is to remain a coward. It is high time we come together and dismantle these racist structures, both in word, but more importantly, in deed. As for how we might carry out our endeavors, I believe that another West Point graduate sets the proper example: William Tecumseh Sherman — relentless, persistent action in the pursuit of victory. Until our demands are met, we continue the long march.

That was from this guy's facebook page, btw


Congressman Steve King, known for:

"calves the size of canteloupes"
"We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies."
"I'd ask you to go back through history and figure out: Where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people [non-whites] that you're talking about? Where did any other sub-group of people contribute more to civilization [than whites]?"

I've taken to responding enthusiastically to my right-wing facebook "friends" in a manner completely opposite their dogwhistles.

It's fun. Waiting to see how long it takes for them to unfriend me.



Also good would have been "Two jobs and you can't come up with $6,000 for your kid's education? I guess you need to find better jobs or buy fewer flat screen TVs."
