Political Question Should the lead singer of Nickleback be addressing the U.S. military?

u/Nice_Page_6493 22d ago
That looks like Logan Paul. Those Paul bros are Trump supporters and capitalists through and through. No amount of money is enough for them. I'm not sure they should be addressing anyone. They're very extreme.

Because the Trump administration is a joke, full of completely unqualified and incompetent people, whose only requirement is either 1) be related to Trump, or 2) be willing to blindly serve his infantile whims.

Theyâre probably using them to manipulate the social media algorithms to influence young male voters. These guys are massive pieces of shit but theyâre good at grifting.

The only answer that is appropriate is somebody (Kegsbreath) thought, â dude, it would be totally awesome if a guy who got his ass beat by a real professional spoke to our guys at the Pentagon.â
Aside from seeing the picture, I have no concept of how or why this happened.

There has been a lot of conjecture that those non-voters aren't as liberal as people think they are, and in 2024 especially, they probably swing to Trump. Don't like it, but it is what it is.

Normally I get the hate. However WWE stars have been speaking to troops for forever. The only difference is we donât have an âactive warâ with boots on the ground for them to travel too.
Also, I get many people donât like the Paulâs. I donât either. However Iâm sure most 18 year olds into wrestling do.
We have to keep in mind just because we donât like something doesnât mean everyone else has to agree.

When I saw this yesterday I thought it was AI.
As a soldier in the audience I would feel disrespected and not taken seriously. I would feel betrayed and will decide to leave out of pure shame.
As an observer from Europe I feel a knot in my stomach. The whole context is horrific. It feels dystopian what happens in the USA. There should be some decorum in and around governmental symbols, because it is an absolute honour to serve people: to be chosen to govern, to have received authority out of the peoples' trust.
Everything around Trump is so deceitful, tacky and low-culture. I wonder when the first Monster Truck Festival will start in the rose garden. It is all an analogy for the Trump/tech facism-attitude towards humanity. One big middle finger.
