I always find it kinda pathetic when people quote credentials in an anonymous platform. Like is it supposed to mean something that you're a military veteran, even if that is true?
The phrase "my sweet summer child" does not refer to your age in years. I'll reiterate that you do seem to have the perspective of an innocent child believing that everything can be fixed by avoiding buying macdonalds for a day.
As a military veteran your countless hours in armed conflicts would no doubt inform you that you can't just go charging off into the darkness with no plan and no support. You need to consider your resources, strategise your campaign, rally supporters, and adopt positions you know you can defend without casualties.
Shutdown 315 will fail and most of the people who support it will lose hope and won't be involved next time round. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this type of thing were a project 2025 initiative. It would be a good move if it were.
Being a veteran isn't a 'credential'. Just like you being on my block list isn't. Good luck with your pathetic trolling.
Sure, block everyone offering constructive criticism, that's a fine plan.
