    No they want better benefits for ICE agents. They don’t want to fight ICE.

    Lol, that’s a strawman of your own making.

    I didn’t say i would support an ice agent who only criticized ice because they want more benefits. I said I would support an ice agent if they were actually radicalized to fight against ice because their service illuminated them about class consciousness.

    Again, you are just exercising a logical fallacy.

      Can you find me the “leftist veteran” which advocates against more benefits for veterans? Sure seems like one of us is strawmanning here. What’s that in the comment above, are those… examples?

        How is that criteria necessary for being a leftist? Also… How does that logically make any sense?

        Even if you aren’t a veteran and are just a leftist, wouldn’t you want more benefits to veterans even if it was to just drain more money from the empire and make war an even more expensive prospect?

        On the other side, if you were a soldier who became a leftist and completely rejects any association with the military including your benefits. Is that something you would go around and telling to people or being quoted about? You’re basically asking me to prove a negative that doesn’t even make any sense to begin with.

          “Wouldn’t you want to give mass murderers more money? That would be an epic win!”

          Alright blocked bye.
