  1. No dude, not everyone who dispells obvious lies that are obviously destroying our nation are CIA plants.

  2.  @user-oo8xp2rf1k  Well.. yeah. If someone is lying about being trans, then don't put them in a cell with other women? Or better yet, just keep prisons divided based on sex, since violent prisoners are exponentially more likely to rape someone than an average person. But can you actually give me an example of a "trans" rapist raping a woman? The UK is kind of known for its transphobia, especially Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism. Im not accusing you of being transphobic, but the hypothetical you just described sounds straight outta the TERF playbook. It definitely makes me wonder where you're getting your information from.

  3.  @angelcabeza6464  According to Wikipedia, "There were 2,459 United States military deaths in the War in Afghanistan." According to the same article, more than 50,000 died on the opposing side, although this number is an estimate and fails to specify the makeup of the 50,000 dead. In fairness, the Afghan army lost upwards of 65,000, though largely in part due to poor training and morale. So... the actual terrorist group killed more of its own people than they lost. But I guess killing tens of thousands of your own citizens is okay to Allah if you're doing it to spread your archaic religion or something.

  4. No, seriously. When did Ryan say that homophobes shouldn't have a voice? (And yes, being "offended by homosexuality" (you poor thing ;c) is homophobia.)

  5. I feel like people would be less willing to (incorrectly) accuse Israel of doing war crimes if they weren't actually doing war crimes in Gaza.

  6. "The act specified that service members who disclose that they are homosexual or engage in homosexual conduct should be separated (discharged) except when a service member's conduct was 'for the purpose of avoiding or terminating military service' or when it 'would not be in the best interest of the armed forces'." Time and time again, it has been demonstrated that forcing gay people to suppress their sexual orientation has a negative impact on their mental health (and their ability to work, consequently). As a gay person, I would much prefer a military that didn't care about my sexual orientation to one that would discharge me if I spoke of it.

  7.  @conchfritters01  Good! Then people can read my comment instead of uncritically consuming what he had to say.

  11. ​ @hankhill3446  If you're worried about women being assaulted in an all-gender bathroom, I feel like that's a problem with military culture. You should probably address the problem, instead of treating its symptoms. Also, what do you mean by "administrative woke army class"? You looked like you were going to give an example, but then you just told a story about how getting rainbow dust on your uniform is bad, so you had to take a longer walk to work? I don't want to outright dismiss that claim, but it looks like you lost your train of thought half way through the first part of your original comment. As @ppgurl420 said, being gay isn't political. It's become politicized. LGBT inclusion should not be political, it should be the default. I didn't choose to pick up the LGBT banner and join the LGBT party. My biology and life experiences shaped my orientation, in the same way that yours shaped yours.

  12.  @hankhill3446  I disagree. If the only complaint is that it's "inappropriate", so what? You get naked around dudes all the time? Can you not control yourself around your naked female colleagues? (I'm using a general "you" here, obviously. Not trying to accuse you of being ravenously horny lol) If by "woke events", you're referring to celebrations of Pride, I completely disagree with you. I understand you believe that it's a sin (or something to that tune, since you mentioned your religious beliefs), but Pride is actually pretty important. I used to think it was kind of redundant, given that most people seem(ed) to be cool with gay/trans people. However, I've come to realize how important Pride is to people who don't have the support of their friends and/or family. And, especially in a profession that typically attracts more conservative people (like, I dunno, the military), there's a lot of value in making gay people feel welcomed when they otherwise might not be. Can you please elaborate upon what you mean by "these policies", and explain to me why you feel diversity training is a bad thing? And finally, to answer your question: The purpose of a military is to defend the country that owns it, and to project the power and interests of that country onto other countries. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. And, I might add, a military does this much better when its members feel valued and like part of the team.

  13. In a good way, I hope?

  14. No, really. What was her point, then? She clearly implied that gay people make our military look weak.
    2
  15.  @mansquatch2260  She implied that gay people make our military weak. If you need me to lay that out to you in a comment, then there's a lot more we need to discuss before we start the herculean task of teaching you what subtext is.

  16.  @teslapilot5755  Hey guys I found the JROTC dude. Right, so you would also argue that the videos of soldiers goofing off in foxholes or shooting balloons out of expended Javelin launchers should also be reprimanded? I'd like to take you in good faith, but the more I see literally this exact same comment almost word-for-word, the more it strikes me as a post-hoc justification for feeling icky about gay people. Soldiers aren't statues dude. Come on, you know that.

  17.  @Joe-pc3hs  No they don't. They post content (often cut out of context) with leading captions that tell the viewer how they should feel. Stop coping please
    2
  18.  @Joe-pc3hs  She asked "Do you think videos like this show strength and confidence in our military?" This is a leading question meant to imply that the video does NOT show strength or confidence in our military. She put this comment insinuating that our military is weak over the video of a guy doing a feminine dance. The implication she is making here is that gay people weaken our military (or, at the least, people who act "gay"). This is a homophobic assertion. You have understand that politics are nuanced. Liberalism is the status quo, here in the west, so reactionaries (racists/homophobes/etc) need to disguise their intentions to avoid being cancelled/ridiculed/etc. This is what the concept of a "dogwhistle" refers to. A message that is literally innocuous on its own, but has a hidden meaning to a given in-group. These messages can be interpreted as harmless when the person is given the benefit of the doubt, but take on a different meaning to the group that was supposed to receive the message. If you'd like, I can give you a few examples if you don't want to look them up on your own time.

  19.  @randir14  Typical of musk that he would do this, and Ryan may have missed the mark on this one. Have you EVER seen that misinformation thingy under any post before? I sure as hell haven't, and there are untold volumes of misinformation on Twitter. It's really weird that they'd be so aggressive with this, instead of letting it remain obscure.
    2
  20. You know it's not just "reposting videos" dude. People read and respond to the captions, especially when they are framed in a leading way (gay = bad so our military is bad because this dude is acting "gay"). Suggesting that gay people weaken the military is misinformation. Because they don't. If you can't see that, it's not his fault that you believe a wrong thing.
    2
  21. Nope! Ryan is just living in the 21st century with the rest of us. Good luck with the 12th century, though!

  22. Right. There's absolutely nothing being implied to Raichik's conservative target audience when she asks how "strong and confident" gay people make our military look. But sure, we should just divorce all of her posts from the greater context of her channel, and address each post in good faith, because Raichik is such a good faith actor after all.
    2
  23. Looks like you've been sold a false bill of goods
    2
  24. Right, so the caption implying that gay people make our military look like shit isn't making fun of anyone?
    2
  25. If people don't want to join the military because one dude made a TikTok where he did a "gay" dance, then they probably don't care about defending American values (i.e., the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness). They would sooner set down their AR and trade it for an AK.

  26. LMAO the "illegal immigrant ruining free speech on twitter" is rhetoric I WILL be using in the future

  27. Do you plan on doing a video like this (not a short) about the Crimean bridge attack? I know you made a community post about it and I wanna see the video :o

  28.  @HDSME  Dude I totally believe you
    2
  29. It means a lot for you to make a video like this, but it means SO MUCH MORE for you to be actively down in the comments, battling homophobic members of your audience with us. Thank you so, so much. You make young gay people like me feel like we're WANTED in the military, especially when WE want to defend our country, too.

  30. If you're a Neo-Con, you might find better company with Liberals that you would with MAGA cons.

  31. I would just love for you to give us an example of Chaya's "unbiased" and "reasonable" commentary, so that we can all laugh you out of the comment section. Chaya literally manipulates you into fearing transness and trans people so that you keep voting red.

  32.  @anotherguy9402  It's adorable that you dodged my question. What do you want me to say? CNN and MSNBC? I know the mainstream media can't be trusted, but Fox News also counts as mainstream media. But that doesn't mean that I just uncritically accept everything I see on the internet. If I hear something that doesn't sound right (and even some things that do), I use the search engine that is sitting right in front of me to do more research. Also, what are you even talking about? Are you referring to the much-sought-after "trans agenda"? What the "trans"es plot behind closed doors? Oooo I bet they were talking about "trans"ing the kids!
    2
  33.  @anotherguy9402  It's not a pedantic question. I want to know what you understand to be "unbiased" and "reasonable". And looking back at your original comment, I noticed you made a huge mistake. Gay and trans people aren't part of a "political group". No more than being straight somehow makes you part of a political group. These are characteristics that we (as in gay AND straight AND trans AND cis people) cannot change.
    2
  34.  @anotherguy9402  What points? "Oh I knew trans people and they told me what they REALLY want (refused to elaborate??)"? "I'm right because I said so" is literally all I'm hearing from you.

  35. He has a YouTube channel about military stuff. If you can't recognize the difference between military nerd stuff and the actual promotion of war, I think you might find something more agreeable in one of Matt Walsh's articles on video games.

  36. Yeah seriously what? All these tough guy "ex-soldiers" can't seem to recall the extremely gay sense of humor the army has always had.

  37. If you're our enemy, maybe. If Modi remains in power, inevitably. But if you pivot west? You'll be cheering when you see one of our cities come floating up to your shoreline! :D

  38. Being gay in the army during WWII must've been another thing entirely. What a king 💪
    2
  39. I think being more openly accepting towards a large portion of your army is probably going to lead to higher combat effectiveness. But SURELY there isn't ANY OTHER REASON that could be leading to a decline in recruitment. Y'know, like: an increasing mistrust in our government, wealth inequality, and the war(s) in the Middle East completely demolishing the credibility of our military as a force for good?

  40. this is your brain on early-iron-age morality

  41. Good thing our military reflects the people it protects.

  42. All you people ever do is nebulously refer to "THE DEI" and "THE WOKE" without ever actually committing to any data. Can you please give me one concrete example of our STANDARDS being sacrificed for the sake of DEI. Not some weird correlative relationship or graph wizardry. I want you, mister conservative, to actually show me the United States Military lowering its standards for the sake of diversity.

  43. I think it's important to understand that Ryan is able to find the truth in situations like these. And often times, he doesn't need a 3-digit subscription to a cutting-edge proprietary cybersecurity tool. Finding the truth is as simple as using your search engine and following sources to their conclusion. It's not always easy, but there's no reason to be depressed about a 'post-truth' society when you still have your search engine. Hope is not lost!

  45.  @rider4440  (its sarcasm, exaggerating the ridiculousness of the idea that combat effectiveness correlates with sexual orientation)

  46.  @rider4440  I've fallen for some, myself. It's hard to distinguish truth from satire when you're so politically in-the-weeds and you've seen so much.

  47. No, Ivan, this video is about the REPUBLICAN party. Biden is on the DEMOCRATIC party. I understand that not every Russian understands American politics that well, so I'm here if you have any questions about what real democracy looks like! :D

  48.  @richardfroste4548  Y'know "Richard Froste", your profile is awfully baren for a guy who has been on this platform for almost 10 years. Very bot-like of you, comrade. You see, comrade, it's about 3:30 in the afternoon for me, an American living on the East Coast. You posted this comment about seven hours ago, which would be about 8am. However, 8am EST is actually the middle of the day in Moscow! 3pm, in fact! Now, you could just be an early bird, but I somehow find it hard to believe that you were posting misinformation in Ryan's comments at 8am on a Wednesday. No, it's more likely that you also posted this comment at 3:30pm... in Moscow. I look forward to your reply tomorrow at 8 am, tovarisch! Slava Rossyia!

  49.  @richardfroste4548  What does "put the bowl down" mean? I've literally never heard any english speaker say that.

  50. I encourage anyone reading this exchange to Google "put the bowl down" and try your best to find anything that comes close to meaning what Froste said in his comment.
