Several bands have dropped out of an upcoming metal festival in Orlando after Kyle Rittenhouse was announced as a special guest.

    As a veteran, I get the worst shit thrown at me. All the ads for black rifle coffee and the worst “for men” products. Also, they just assume I’ll vote republican so all the bs that comes with that assumption.

    They haven’t really missed until my generation so I get it. A lot of the vets from the 90s and further back are pretty “conservative” to the point that I avoid them at the VA and won’t join those socials anymore.

      I feel you. I like to shoot, gardening, and woodworking. Aparently, that makes me a prepper and a fundie. I just want tomatoes and pretty begonias. I purposefully watch leftist stuff on YouTube to “reset” their algo. Works for a few months.

        Yeah, turns out a lot of preppers can food.

        I love canning! Hate everything else. I just want to look up recipes for candied jalapeños without also hearing about batshit theories.

      …the only veterans i know who support fascist values are either stolen-valor opportunists or television-brainwashed senile geriatrics…

      …all the real veterans i’ve known who still enjoy command of their faculties support legitimate american values instead…
