Social Injustice in America

[JoeSmith6]

Ever since Trump and his Russian cronies seized power in America I have been seeing a major shift in the attitude of Americans. You have the racist spewing there hate, and facist taking over social media. And when freedom loving Americans express their opinions they get bullied and shouted down by facist pricks.

One such victim of this social injustice is Spenser Rapone, a West Point graduate and Afgan veteran who exercised his right to express his views.

But instead of supporting Lt. Rapone and his right to freedom of speech, many Americans are attacking this brave man for his political views. This is supposed to by America land of the free where people can freely express there views without persecution. But apparently not any more under our new Fuhrer Trump.

As my old colleague Heinz used to say "everyone gets what they deserve"

Actually if you work for the government, you should be apolitical. The people making the political decisions are the elected officials. In the military and wearing a uniform you should be neutral. You can have your private opinions.

Unfortunately in the US military most are conservative nature, bringing them inline with the right wing Christian views. But them again in the 50s and 60 the American military was indoctrinated with anti communism rectoric bullshit.

Which is really hilarious when you think that Marx came up with communism platform due to old Christian values where the very old Christian communities would share all their resources.

In the late 1700's the French Revolution (formation of a republic) scared the shit out of all the monarchies in Europe. The Russian Revolution in 1917 scared the shit out the world's democracies (consisting of monachies/republics etc). in the 20s and 30s anything that opposed communism was the in thing. In Germany it was the NAZIs and Italy it was Mussolini.

In WW2 the allies consisted of the US/Britain/Russia vs the AXIS powers of Germany/Japan/Italy. After the allies won the war, the US politics changed with the creation of the nuclear bomb. America dissed the Russians, who lost more in the War then the US and Britain did. Russia bled in order to buy time for the rest of the Allies.

After the WW2 basicly all the rich capitalist wanted to keep their wealth and status. Relationships with Russia could affect their wealth and privilege, they were now the enemy and the cold war started. The cold war for the Americans was trying to stop the spread of communism throughout the world. Even in the 80's/90's they were still doing that. Even today. But the emphasis has shifted to extreme radicalization of Religions over the past 15 year.

The fall of the USSR in the 90s, eventually created an oligarchy in Russia where the really Rich controlled Russia.

In Canada we have the lower class (poor people), the disappearing middle class and the rich. The rich people control the politicians. Canada is a socialist country, and so are most European countries.

Murphy's Law states that "He with the gold, makes the rules."

Sorry to burst this bubble, but it is becoming ever more apparent that 'the middle class' is an aspirational & largely unattainable social construct promoted by those in power to give the poor a reason to work harder & generate more income for the rich!

Is that the cynical Ms Erica Phoenix? Or are you quoting some other person's observations? I will admit that the approach is something that could have been drawn up at the old boys' club in Davos.

Are you for real, the dude is running around in his WestPoint uniform with Che Guevara T exposed. There is nothing freedom loving about communism, I'll be surprised if he doesn't get court martialed.

you wear someone's uniform you take money and get paid to wear it,
they kind of have the right to tell you how to act while your working and representing them in uniform. or out of uniform but in the work place,
while working you represent the company that is paying you,

sort of like the nfl player's taking a knee during the national anthem
in my opinion they don't' have a leg to stand on,

at my job we have paid people to talk to the press, that is there job,
a newsman sticks a microphone in our face we are supposed to say nothing and we can get fired for it.
and people have been fired for spouting off there opinions to the press.
were not even allowed to have the company logo on our face book page.

say what the hell ever you want believe what the fuck ever you want, just don't connect it to the company or organization you work for.

I have my moments of cynicism, yes, but you know that at the heart of every cynic is a failed romantic!

Fuck that.
No way I would want this millennial, SJW-type any where near me in an armed conflict. Not to be trusted- especially with my life or the lives of my brethren in arms.
Sure- have your views and the right to express them- as a private citizen. But stay the fuck out of the Armed Services if you so disagree with the structure that is in place, the "command hierarchy" and what the organization stands for and it's institutional values.
Which isn't promoting communism, btw, for all you other bleeding hearts that think this punk is being treated unfairly.

Then again there are some persons who should not be in the military. Mostly because they lack common sense. But sometime the way to get rid of persons was to promote them or tell them "its great to be such and such trade"; was easier to transfer them out them to do the paperwork to kick them out.

I can't remember the movie, but but in the movie the main character is asking the young officer "In Vietnam what was the average time an 2nd Lt survived when he entered combat(stepping off the helicopter)?" The characters point was that the young officer had alot to learn to earn the right to command the men.

The rumour of Vietnam was that the troops would sometimes "take care of" the young go-hung 2nd Lt, because he might lead them into an ambush.....

Recently read Band of Brothers and the 506th E company was not going to go into combat with Captain Sobel, because he lacked common sense and fortunately he was transferred out before D-Day.
