@nitpicking My great uncles served in the First Infantry Division, and the First, Second, and Fifth Marines. My grandfather was a Hydrochemical Engineer at Standard Oil and was not allowed to enlist.
He tried to get fired. It didn't work.
Fighting fascists and authoritarians used to be first on everyone's mind. What the hell have we become?
@nitpicking my great grandfather was antifa in the 40s, he was first in the Armée de l’Air and then in La Résistance. My grandfather on the other side was in antifa too, in the Chasseurs Alpins.
@nitpicking Those “white only” Antifa?
Probably wasn't so much.
this is what i've been saying for years now:
"My grandfather killed Nazis and I'll make it a family tradition if I have to"
