Why do people party on Memorial Day? Isn't it supposed to be a day of quiet, respectful remembrance?
>2012>giving a shit about dead mercenaries of capitali shiggy diggity doogy doo
I only respect the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary, Civil, and World Wars. The rest are just imperialist assholes "protecting" me against uneducated hajiis with cheap AKs. Oh I'm scared, alright.
I know if I got killed while murdering nazis I would rather people celebrate my sacrifice than be emo faggots about it all day.
>>3321086>not respecting veterans of the Barbary wars.
>>3321059Somebody had/has to hold-back the tide the Soviets, their allies, and Islamic militants over the years. Oh, wait! I forgot that you actually like those people because you're fucking subhuman trash.Also, fuck all the people who get aid from the Coast Guard, or the various disaster relief programs, huh?Naw, the entirety of the West should just abolish the entirety of our militaries and the world would such a better place under African/Chinese/Russian?Middle-Eastern rule, right?
>>3321193aye.
>>3321086>>3321059So hardcore bruh.
>>3321193You're pretty fucking madThe people who have been killed in armed conflict should be pitied, whatever side of conflict we're talking aboutBecause it's always a rich man's war, and the poor people are always dying for them
>>3321225Well then you best say goodbye to all the pleasantries of the evil imperialist Western economy.In case you're too dense to know what I'm talking about, (which is likely); there's a board for just about all of them here on 4chan. Nope, you need only worry about serving The Party Chairman/Allah.
I think our dead servicemen would want civilians to spend their time enjoying life.I mean, that's the whole point of enlisting, right? To defend the "American way of life"?
>>3321270Nope, sometimes rich people are killed too. What's you're fucking point.Honoring vets does not entail disrespecting innocent victims. Not all vets killed an innocent person.
>>3321299At least you're the kind of honest conservative who acknowledges that the brutal imperialism of the west increases it's standard of living
>>3321344I'm a vet, and I never once met rich people on the inside. I know lots of people on the outside who are filthy fucking rich and none of them have servedThey were all officers who spent one or two tours doing something, then spent the rest of their careers in admin. Enlisted guys do all the work, NCOs hold the shit togetherYou need to deal with reality
>>3321354Yes, and I don't give a shit.Nothing you do will change anything either. I mean, c'mon...you think posting on evil Westerm imperialist 4chan will change the world's opinion?All you're doing is wasting your time and/or providing an opportunity for the East to stab you in the back.Spare me your self-righteous bullshit.
>>3321428Nah, I don't think it's really going to do much goodBut it crawls under your skin, so at least I know it's on your mind, and that's good enough for me
>>3321402You're just creating a diversion.Everything in my comment still holds:>Honoring vets does not entail disrespecting victims>Not all vets killed an innocent personThus, there is still a basis for Memorial Day.Now if you want to take this conversation in another direction please specify, because I was discussing the main theme of this thread.
>>3321484I never claimed there was no basis for Memorial DayEvery day is memorial day for people who have actually done shit
>>3321466Well I'm glad you admitted to your illogical way of thinking.
>>3321515Cool story. At least you admitted I was right.
>>3321525Telling you wars are in the interests of the ruling elite isn't illogicalYou hate it because it's true
>>3321537I think you're confusing "wars are for rich men fought by poor men" with "there is no basis for memorial day"
>>3321299i was agreeing with you, asshole
>>3321550I thought you were implying that we should just all eat dirt and watch grass grow for the sake of some Chinks or Hajis that will hate us anyway.Also, you don't think Eastern nations would try to claim the same position we have and exploit others in our absence? You need to face that reality.There's no exception for Marxists either. This is evidenced by the various wars between communist Asian countries.
>>3321587He doesn't know that two people responded, and he didn't know you were agreeing
Who cares? Have you seen the sales papers? Great dealsI love me Memorial weekend
>>3321567That wasn't what I was talking about. You need to work on knowing when to reply to somebody whose already engaged in a debate, and when to just make a general statement.
>"Memorial Day">Not celebrating Victoria Day>Amerifats
Because parties require that you buy things.And companies want you to consume their products, so they use advertising to subtly influence the population until everyone wants to have parties.
>>3321617You're rightOf course they wouldThere is no exceptions for the old Stalinist bloc, they weren't any better than the westBut that doesn't mean that the Marxists aren't correct about imperialism and war, because they're right. That's the hard truth, that all these deaths are vain, all this life wasted, all this shit has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with powerYou've got anger inside you, and that's good. But you need to focus that shit onto finding out why the world is the way it is, instead of just accepting how fucked it is - because there is always another way
>>3321656Why the fuck would we celebrate Victoria Day?That's just stupid and illogical.Why don't you celebrate the Chinese New Year or Lýðveldisdagurinnr, fatass?
