Fucking hell...
Everyone should read this article.
Like maybe it just hits close to home, but I feel like regardless of the subject matter this is just some of the best journalism I've read in a long time.

Damn, that was really well written. Totally fucked that the chain of command just, doesn't care.
“Since when has Shepherd cared about ‘Danger Close’?”
Soldiers are just tools to the military machine. When they’re worn out, no longer useful, they’re discarded. If they get scratched up, burnt out while accomplishing the mission, so be it, thanks for your service. And In the end it was always just the ends justifying the means—a bunch of rich bigoted fucks sacrificing the young and motivated (and in this case, highly disciplined and skilled) to make sure the rich get richer and everybody else stays a plebe or dead.
Same as it ever was.
Hmm, seems almost like this one: https://sopuli.xyz/post/14327640
The share is, of course, appreciated.
Damn, it is.
And I was happy to do it after I had to delete my last share because people didn’t like the content (I think it was political).
Too bad the admin can’t turn off or fuzz downvoting for the first few hours/days.
I guess I’ll leave it up?
Although I could delete newer versions, Iʼm inclined to leave duplicate posts up and letting votes sort things out, especially when removing one post requires disabling access to comments that just happened to be on the wrong side of the split. I suspect there might be times when federation issues cause one post to be visible while not the other for some people.
Leave it up, please.
I didn't want to sound like that one person, who doesn't appreciate these posts.
