For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

Can we also note that, to paraphrase, he tried to deny their adulthood before stating his sexual desire for them?

Classic proud boys.

Also, they aren't twinks. They look like your average 18 year olds.

Apparently one too many people called him gay over this: he posted a tiktok a short while ago saying he meant what he said and "concubine" basically means slave, apparently hoping the people who follow him don't know better.

Honestly? I 100% believe he didn't know what concubine meant. He seems like that kind of dumbass.

Maybe he picked that up in Afghanistan, warlords there keep young boys as concubines and might be disinclined to admit to a random US soldier that the boys all over their compound are sex slaves, so “slaves” is the “softer” term.

Of course, that means that this dude is a-ok with bringing slavery back, so…

Well the military does tend to take in the less smart people since they're less likely to ask questions

I’m just stuck on the notion that “the existence of social media” is his limiting constraint here.

Navy seals are a bunch of fucking arrogant chodes

It was nice when special forces took pride in being quiet. Although, I guess it is just seals that get press agents when they retire.

I once talked to a delta guy who was very low key about his service and very much like the later stage Smedley Butler.

Worst all time? Eh, Trump even beat him on that one. Trump vs Harris debate was totally botched by Trump.

As weird as the concubines thing is, a lot of people overlook that he said the alternative was that these guys would be food.

I guess I should have figured some of these conservatives were secretly cannibals after all the times they accused others of eating babies.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Someone posted a follow up elsewhere. He did in fact mean it that way.
