What a great photo. It's like someone distilled bigotry into it's purest form and then fashioned a human from it.
149He looks like an extra from Ozark, like he owns the car dealership that doesn't sell to minorities and he also has 20 kidnapped immigrants chained in his basement manufacturing heroin for him.
64Ol’ Sourpuss looks like he lost his job at the urinalysis lab for sampling the wares
19He looks like he manages a very old but sprawling manor on an ocean view cliff, all alone, yet chooses to sleep in the pantry for unspecified reasons, and late at night he touches the suits of armor inappropriately.
14He looks like he just realized he forgot to wipe.
8He looks like if you put a $5000 Savile Row hand-tailored suit on him it would instantly grow two sizes too large and a racist Chick tract would appear in the pocket.
7He looks like they programmed a robot to hate itself and everyone around it, then put it inside an ill-fitting skin suit.
7He looks like the bad guy of the evil corporation whose name you can't remember in a movie whose main plot involves a super cyberborg doing stuff. Just get that guy a large table for him to monologue at the head of to a bunch of other people who wear suits. Like flies to honey some weightlifter type will bust in heavily armed.

He looks like a depressed human Dumbo. Dem ears!
5He’s like a caricature of an inbred racist Appalachian hick, but real

Incentives for joining the military target lower income communities.
The military is continually sent into one unpopular conflict after another since at least Vietnam (right around the time the report noticed a drop in white enlistment).
Legislators pass and / or preserve policies that create barriers preventing non-whites from accumulatimg wealth.
Hmmm ... I wonder if there is a connection.
81Says the guy who never served in the military. What a pathetic asshole.
60Check the white supremacists militia. I'm sure he'll find the far-right white men there.
45They might be a little bit untrained tho (aside from shooting stationary shit down a firing range). However what they lack in skills and condition, they make up for in gear... 😅

9Perfect to send them right into the thick of it. Alternatively, there are so many mines to be found...

nigga goes on to call it a crisis of spirit.
Listen dipshit, if you think your spirit is telling you to kill people, maybe you've confused it with your stupid shitty ego which everyone agrees needs to get fucked and go die.
40It's seems it's always the politicians without any military experience that say shit like this. I wonder why
37Remember Tuberville's stunt denying promotions to military members over some supposed woke stuff? Bunch of idiots
24Exactly who I had in mind

It’s a bit sad that people like this exist. It’s so much worse when there are enough of them to elect this kind of idiot.
33From the Military.com reporting that the Vice article references:
"Another Army official pointed to partisan attacks from conservative lawmakers and media, which has an overwhelmingly white audience. Those groups have used the military as a partisan cudgel against the Biden administration, lambasting the services for being "woke," or so preoccupied with liberal values that they have abandoned their warfighting priorities. In most cases, those attacks have zeroed in on the services being more inclusive for women, service members from racial minority groups and LGBTQ+ troops."
29I can only imagine how well a recruit would do if they joined with the goal of owning the libs and ending the woke agenda.
5Hmm I wonder who would win. An ideolog with poorly thought out ideas working alone whose only weapon is his word or the ability of the US armed forces, largest employer on earth, to not embrace change.

I wish we could take all these shit talking politicians and draft them into active duty. They'd find out real fucking quick who the weak ones truly are, if they even survive long enough for their two brain cells to make that connection.
4Maybe Heinlein was on to something. In the book the only way to be President was to have a career in both the main divisions of their military and the only way to hold any office was to hold a position in at least one.
I say this as a person who never served. So this wouldn't even really benefit me directly. Indirectly I would know that the people who rule us had at least once in their life not only do something for someone else but had a shit time of it

if the military is a Marxist institution, why do they keep expanding the defense budget?
26Because it doesn't go to the military. It goes to the MIC.

I wish our military was Marxist and woke 😄
26Damn he has aged horribly, like one of those "not even once" ads.
24For real, straight up looks like a ghoul in that photo
12Like an Addams Family evil cousin.

I would pay good cash money to see Paul Gosar fight a randomly selected minority drawn from the woke Marxist US military.
18Preferably one of the combat arms trades.

This dickhead never spent time in the army, so he ought to keep his shitspewer shut about its recruiting policies. Last year he even said General Milley should be executed. Gosar is an absolute snake. So much so, that most of his siblings endorse or campaign for his opponents.
16Far-right commentators quickly pounced on those findings, and claimed they were “proof” that the armed forces had become overrun by “Marxists” who are forcing “wokeness” on its ranks—and, as a result, alienating prospective white recruits.
I may be reading this wrong, but the way that's worded would mean that anti-wokeness is white supremacy. I mean, I get that, that's what they've been quietly running on, but I hadn't noticed them swapping over to just flat out admitting something along the lines of "let's admit we're here for a race war".
15The best parody of real life is reality. It's crazy just how I'm your face they are and still not enough people care to oust them.

Okay, congressman. YOU join, then.
13Right!? They could have just as easily titled this article "White man who never served in the military complains about white men not serving in the military"
16He was Arizona's Dentist of the Year 2001 though, so he's basically a war hero

Conservatives when they realise that heterosexual white men dying in war means there will be less heterosexual white men 🤯
12When those conservative white men are cowards who don't care for their country...
11So can we talk about the infamous draft dodger Donald Bonespurs…or no…this is different because hypocrisy?
8What about ya’ll-kayda
8is the politician aware that the military is like one of the most socialist parts of the government functionally?
7I figure it has something to do with the lower class wanting access to an education so they serve in order to pay for school.
7they're called deplorable for a reason
7That’s how you lose an election, and you’ll spend every night after thinking about how right you were.

Why should they? I know it's not all white people, for for certain segments, "their president" say it's stupid to join the army.
7I don't see any military service here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gosar is it missing or what?
Although now I found this article https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2023/09/25/rep-paul-gosar-says-joint-chiefs-of-staff-chair-should-be-hung/70962006007/ where he says the joint Chiefs of staff should be hanged.
6How about the upward mobility of white people and their middle class standards valuing education. I guess being middle class or higher is woke?
6I have begun to interpret the unironic use of "woke" as the implied sound of crying pitifully into your cornflakes about anybody other than people who look like you while accompanied by either a sad trombone or a descending slide whistle.
7
Going with the comb-forward bangs, really? It's a bold choice.
6A bald choice you say? Sure looks that way! (bald is great btw)
2
Even his combover is trying to escape from this guy.
5He should shove that "wokeness" up his ass, Gavin McGuiness style.
