Ok, but that could have been achieved by just saying "evil scum" or even inserting more specific language regarding the political ideologies at play here.

Imagine if this thread were also denouncing the active genocide also occurring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and you said the same thing but substituted "Jew" for "Black". You might have intended to specifically imply the forces fighting on behalf of Chinese and Western mining investment groups, but that is not at all what comes across from the specific words you chose to use.

okay u right, my language inclusivity was a bit too broad so let me narrow it down: evil jewish zionist extremist scum. hope that is better

So I know I should know better than to expect even an ounce of nuance out of anyone here but let me be more specific:

Yes, The State of Israel is a tribal apartheid settler colony. Good job acknowledging that.

However,

evil jew scum

is an inherently anti-semitic statement.
The moment you bring religion and ethnicity into the criticism, you open the floodgates for those dumbasses who equate anti-zionism with anti-semitism.

There is a large portion of Jewish folks around the world, including in Israel, who oppose the atrocities being committed.
It is hard to believe that you are so obtuse as to not see the difference between legitimate criticism and what you said.

Yup, you've convinced me that it is entirely impossible for anyone to change their worldview under any circumstance.

As a staunch anti-imperialist myself, I of course denounce the military industrial complex and the horrors we have committed as a nation at the behest of the multi-national corporations attempting to acquire new land for development or resource exploitation.

That said, many of the veterans I have met (and this may just be because of the bias of my own experience and people I associate with) have come from backgrounds that either left them with little other prospects to afford a higher education than a military scholarship, or grew up in families that supported imperialism to such an extent that they felt it was their civic duty to fight on behalf of our nation.

i dont think you are owed a higher education if it comes at the expense of random brown peoples' lives

Of these people, all of them have grown disillusioned when actually interacting with the people overseas and learning first hand the nuanced experience in a way that none of us civilians would be able to articulate, even if we were to travel abroad ourselves.

dumbass

we should be very skeptical of US military or veteran "anti-war leftists". having vocally different politics alone doesn't make somebody like that any more trustworthy. theyve already shown you who they are

Personally if i were handicapped or poor i would simply work at a fast food joint that has the exact same benefits as the US military instead of getting iced by a guy whose wife was killed by my poor or handicapped dad while my own wife is sitting pretty with the plumber
