I'm starting to see more pro war posts...what kind of board is this?

[fujiyamasan]

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Seriously asking. Is it permitted now to support this war?

[vanessa_ca]

1. It's deeply perturbing -eom

[fujiyamasan]

2. It's like the party has learned nothing in twenty years

[vanessa_ca]

3. It's ossified. David Hogg was right -eom

[fujiyamasan]

5. I'll admit it

I was really critical of him earlier, but there’s some deep rot.

I’m increasingly believing he was right.

[vanessa_ca]

6. Thankfully, he has an increasingly large following that agrees with you.

We have so many issues to address and fix.

[Torchlight]

33. I'd guess it's less the party and simply a few random opinions on a message board

But again, that's only a guess.

[Lifeafter70]

4. Not from me

I'm heartbroken for all the innocence who are no longer with their families. Families that are grieving because of two madmen

[usonian]

7. I don't see it but I have an ignore list the size of the LA phone directory.

Maybe I chose wisely.

But on point, war is detestable. Non-war vet speaking.

[Cha]

13. lol... I know what you mean about

the LA phone book.

[SheltieLover]

30. +1,000,000

Aloha, Cha! 🌺

In case theres any doubt as to where I stand on this shit...

[H2O Man]

9. Recommended.

I agree 100%.

[orleans]

10. glad i haven't seen any. i've heard about the military officers who are "giddy" and "euphoric" about this rapture

bullshit

Some of Trump’s Troops are being told that it isn't 'war with Iran' - it's a war to start a Biblical Armageddon: “Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth” says one whistle-blower NCO about his commanding officer.

You heard it: a non-zero number of Trump Commanders aren't just fighting an illegal, ill-prepared, ill-fated war against an Iran that posed no realistic threat. To them it's a literal Holy War, start the apocalypse, end times, and then they all get raptured. More than 200 reports of such religious insanity, to a group called MRFF (Military Religious Freedom Foundation) and reported by one of my former MSNBC Coordinating Producers, Jonathan Larsen. MRRF is pushing back against us doing the whole Book of Revelations Crusades thing - and the newest development: the religious nuts in the military are holding emergency bible classes for those who may be deployed.

11. I see "the usual suspects"

[Orrex]

22. Color me shocked.

[eShirl]

12. new accounts?

[Kaleva]

14. Supporting the war would violate what rule?

[Skittles]

15. being a decent human being?

[Kaleva]

38. Being decent human being isn't a requirement to be a member here

[Orrex]

21. Calling it anything but an Epstein distraction is parroting Reichwing talking points.

[SheltieLover]

31. Absolutely!

[Scrivener7]

24. Seriously, dude?

[Kaleva]

37. Which rule?

I looked at the TOS and don’t see which rule such posts would violate.

[multigraincracker]

16. I'm kind of old fashion.

Make love, not war type here.

[BidenRocks]

17. I have not seen any pro war posts.

If I did, I would give full attention to the matter!

This is un-American!

[Jacson6]

18. DU has an ignore subjects with a certain word feature.

This works really good. I no longer have to see the Estein spam.

[Skittles]

19. my mum survived bombs as a child during WWII

the trauma NEVER LEAVES THEM

I absolutely DESTEST people who act like war is some kind of FUCKING GAME

[CommonHumanity]

34. Same with both my parents

They're both dead now, but having been raised by them, the trauma still infects my generation SIGNIFICANTLY.

This is why I have been opposed to war since childhood. Every traumatic event reverberates for generations in both the political and personal sphere and I say this with absolute certainty. It is one of the truest things I know.

Hate never heals hate. Only love heals hate - a tragic underutilized truth.

[RandiFan1290]

20. Same as 20+ years ago for Iraq

I was called "antisemitic" and a "Saddam supporter" by the 'centrists' because I was against invading Iraq.

[Emile]

23. Library Girl comes and goes everyday.

[Scrivener7]

25. I was going to say I haven't seen them.

Do you think she's what this refers to?

(This post double posted by my phone, so I self deleted the second post)

[demmiblue]

27. I haven't seen any.

[leftstreet]

29. Same

I've looked through several pages and haven't found any

[doc03]

28. I haven't seen any. nt

[Niagara]

32. I haven't spotted any pro war OP's here

Also, very much like poster #7 my ignore list is quite lengthy.


My DU word trash can is even more expansive.

[usedtobedemgurl]

35. I just assume they are trolls from the other side,

Trying to cause a division. Supporting war is not within the tree hugger lifestyle we believe in. They are just outing themselves. I find it hard to believe anyone who believes in peace, feeding the hungry, living your brothers and so much more would have a bloodlust. I have been to a ton of progressive gatherings, and I have never run into anyone who wanted war on our side. It should be a very last alternative, after everything else has been tried.

[marybourg]

36. Is it permitted to bash Democrats?

How many democrat - bashing posts have we seen on this Board in recent month?

Apparently the rules have changed.

[EarlG]

39. It's the kind of board that prefers not to host threads like this

As in, vague accusations of vague behavior involving vague individuals, followed by a demand that the community justifies itself, which serves no real purpose other than to get people gossiping, breaking the rules, and causing bad feeling among the members.

If you see someone posting something that you think is prohibited by the forum rules, please use the alert button. Otherwise, my suggestion would be to provide a counterargument to posts that you disagree with.
