Richard Nixon tried to nuke North Korea because he was drunker than a skunk and Kissinger had to tell the joint chiefs of staff to ignore him.

It’s not trans people we need to worry about. It’s putting mentally weak and fragile men in charge of things.
Not nuking North Korea was probably the right choice. On the other hand, I’d rather get vaporized in a nuclear fireball than starve to death in a reeducation camp for not clapping hard enough when [Great/Supreme/Dear] Leader farts.
I’d rather get nuked than show up to work Monday, but that’s not really my call.
Vote for more transgender politicians and you might see your dreams a reality.
You’ve now been banned from lemmy.seeyou.pyongyang
“There are 150 ICBM missiles that are being controlled by that Air Force base and by these individuals.”
“I do not want someone who doesn’t know if they are a man or a woman with their hand on a missile button.”
His “argument” is that trans people are inherently unstable because they are trans (really, questioning, but that distinction doesn’t matter to him).
This is what queer people are dealing with: the constant pathologizing of our very existence to the point where we’re viewed as a threat. This is why I can never accept people who continue to vote for these dangerous assholes: they either benefit from or are indifferent to the suffering this rhetoric engenders. It’s not a difference in opinion and deserves no such protection.
Well as we know, all cishet people know exactly who they are at any given time, and their personality, philosophy, epistemology, and tastes never cha—oh wait…
Must suck for him being so boring and predictable all the time, that he has to invent reasons to get all hot and bothered.
If we had to wait for only the eternally ethically pure, completely content and self-actualized people to be the ones to man the silos, we’d be waiting a longass time, because those people don’t join the military.
But we all know it’s just shitting on a minority in order to drum up a new scapegoat after gays finally became boring.
It sounds very much like how women were ‘dismissed’ from essential roles in society because they were ‘fragile’, ‘overly emotional’, ‘suffer from hysteria’.
This all sounds like a repeat, we’ve been here before.
Only difference is that with lgbtiqa+ the very existence is denied to them.
Does that mean it’s now the LGBTQICBM community?
i sexually identify as nuclear armageddon. my pronouns are Minuteman III/Trident II
Cis people have launched more missiles at people in general. Better ban any sort of similar treatments for cis military members too.
I think the reason is not that cis people are bad. It’s just there are more cis people
I’ve yet to meet a cis person that didn’t want to use ICBMs to initiate nuclear armageddon, so…agree to disagree.
My track record in strategy games reinforces your statement. I can’t be trusted.
Okay, Gandhi.
I remember when they said letting women in the military would do exactly the same thing. They don’t even make new arguements anymore.
It’s been the same argument for 150 years, they just keep repositioning their sights.
I sure the trans community just wants to be treated fairy, and be able to pee in the restroom they are comfortable with. This guy is a hateful fearmonger.
I’m sure the trans community just wants to be treated fairy
Hilariously inappropriate typo :)
Damn the typos! LOL
I would be more scared that a right wing white supremacist would launch nukes at everyone. Their existence is about hatred of others. Trans people’s existence is about trying to love themselves. I’m not scared of trans people, if you are then please ask yourself why you are. Are you afraid they would retaliate for how you treat them?
Every accusation is a confession with conservatives.
So could non-trans soldiers. The problem isn’t trans, it is (ICBM) arms control. Or transphobia.
Por que no los dos?
(That is, the problem is both arms control and transphobia)

This should be a career ending statement, it’s fallacious and trying to incite hate against the Trans community! However, I have a feeling this fool who speaks out of pocket garbage will get more votes than a saner candidate. 😬
It’s really sad how true this is. I just don’t understand why people are so into hate and fear-mongering.
People I have known since I was young, smart, kind people, have asked me questions at times like “do you think America is secretly controlled by the british?” “Did you hear Obama kills children?” “You need to know, I found out recently the druggie have taken over Chicago, Oregon and California. They are running naked, burning everything. They are coming for all of us”. And of course “I saw recently on YouTube that trans people are raping children! They want to destroy America and groom your kids!”
These are all real. From long time friends. It’s incredibly disturbing!! Not to mention one of my kids is trans so I occasionally get the concerned boomer friend saying “don’t let your kid succumb to their tricks!”
People, just do some real research! Don’t trust social media for answers… I feel like most people just want to be tricked because that way they can feel part of something and think less.
The first one is plausible. The rest is batshit insane. lol
I think the first one is more plausible the other way around
I just don’t understand why people are so into hate and fear-mongering.
Because change is scary; figuring out how to adapt to a changing world is hard, and it’s a lot easier to just blame someone else for your problems. And besides, righteous anger feels good.
It’s a transpocalypse. I have become Blahaj, destroyer of gendered bathrooms.
Blåhaj will deliver us!
I mean…
The congresspukes who bitch the loudest about the military are cowards who never set foot in a MEPS station themselves.
I’m not saying that you have to have served to have a valid opinion, but I am saying that this guy is talking out his ass.

Grumble didn’t down vote you, I’m sure they’re a fine fellow, I did, because why would you pass judgment on someone who was trying not to radicalize their phrases when the message was clearly conveyed?

I get by just fine in society, thank you. Why are you trying to evaluate my place in society? Is it for the same reason you’re unable to accept someone’s choice of words on the internet? You seem pretty fragile.
Well I say conservatives shouldn’t be in the military because they aren’t sure if they are America or Russian and could launch missiles on everyone.
To be fair it says “could”. Lots of people could do lots of things
Man has trusted millitary personnel with ICBM missiles for years.
Moment there’s a possibility they could be trans, becomes fearful they could do something that they were already capable (or incapable) or doing.
Sounds like a “you” problem to me.
So were the crew of the Enola Gay all trans?
Yes, and I can prove it:
Enola
GAY
See, it’s in the name!!
/s in case you need it.
They identified as a whale and dolphin
