If anything, this just shows the authoritarian mindset of the right. They have to wait for daddy government to give them the recognition and validation they think they deserve. The LGBT+ movement went out and validated themselves for years and years without it being formally recognised until relatively recently.
If this guy cares about veterans so much, there’s nothing to stop him from organising events or parades on every day of the year if he wanted to.
He won’t of course, because this is pretty much the definition of “virtue signalling”.

Yep - right wing ideology is obsessed with the idea of social hierarchy. Everyone who makes the "right choices" in life (being rich, white, cis male) shoots straight to the top, whilst those that make the "incorrect choices" (poor, homeless, LGBTQ, ethnic minority) are to be looked down upon.
They need daddy government (ie, those higher up the hierarchy) to tell them what good boys and girls they're being, because in their mind, that's where validation comes from - other, better, people. In their eyes, conforming to these people, rather than individualism, should be rewarded.
Its why they're all so fucking obsessed with worshiping/emulating Trump, or Musk, or Tate - because they made the "right choices" and maybe, just maybe, if they make the same choices they'll be just like daddy Trump one day - top of the pyramid.
Its why they hate minorities and LGBTQ people so much - because in their eyes, they're on the lower end of society - but they "don't know their place". Just like they want to emulate Trump because he's higher up, they think minorities and LGBTQ should be trying to emulate them in order to get validation that way.
But we don't, so we deserve to be punished, i guess.
So yeah, you're right. its not about him respecting soldiers, its about him disrespecting LGBTQ people for their supposed crime of not trying to be like their superiors (ie - him).

u/Zegram_Ghart May 30 '23
I mean, daddy government is just another way of saying “the patriarchy”, so yeh- they have a vested interest in nothing changing, because the more things change the more likely it is that the people in charge don’t look and act like them

u/LucianCanad May 30 '23
I pretty much agree with everything you said, except the "rather than individualism" bit. The US capitalist mentality is profoundly individualistic, hence the obsession of some people with gatekeeping rights.
I'd suggest you use "individuality" instead, because that does imply critical thinking and not just swallowing up what your "betters" tell you.
"Individuality can only flourish when individualism dies."

It's like with March 8th. I'm happy to see much less of dudes going into comment sections on March 8th and ask when men have their international day (Google trends show they still Google it in droves). Women in my group of friends are the best to mark the day and month.

u/PruneBeneficial44 May 30 '23
Yep, that one always makes me roll my eyes.
If they actually gave a shit about men's day, men would know the date. They wouldn't need to ask. But they don't. The only time they care about men's day is when they think they can pretend to be a victim and claim women have their own 'special day' and they don't.
It's always funny too that the guys ask women to look it up for them rather than do it themselves... oh how times haven't changed...
If a guy said, "I'm going to have an honest chat to my guy friends on men's day about our issues and mental health", I would respect the hell out of him. But nope. Never heard one say anything like this. They only care on women's day.

u/Mete11uscimber May 30 '23
The right just can't seem to leave shit alone. How does LGBTQ+ "get" a month? What they mean is, they saw or heard 1 or 2 things promoting pride and decided to be upset. They don't know why they're upset from a logical perspective because they don't take the time to break things down - They just react to an emotion that's usually founded in fallacy.
Everybody wants to have their own agency, but I've noticed that conservatives want to have control over that which does not conform with their own ideals, this extending their agency beyond themselves. I suspect this obsession with control tends to explain why they really like using big machines and guns. I'm not saying I don't enjoy big machines or guns, but where I am it's a way of life for conservatives. Obsessed with extending their control in this world, I'm telling ya.
I believe this also leads to conservatives having less empathy in general because if they empathized with someone who's not just like them, they'd essentially be going against their core of controlling themselves and others - Bending to someone who isn't like them means that those outside forces that they don't understand or agree with are controlling them, and they can't have that. Plus they'd have to actually be humble in real life for a moment, which they don't need to do because they already pray to white baby Jesus every Sunday.

What about the members of the military who do drag? Or whom are part of the lgbtq+? Almost like the bigoted idiots don't realise they can't use the military to justify the exclusion of a marginalised group when there are active members of the military whom are part of that group or do they just beleive all military groups are white heteronormative cisgendered racist cunts like they are? Almost like they don't care to actually get to know the members of the military. Furthermore isn't the military fighting to protect freedoms of all Americans not just the ones the right support hmm funny how you can't use the military as a symbol when that symbol is inclusive freedom. Ironically same thing the bible teaches yet not acoording to the right. Hypocrisy breeds hate.

To be fair, it isn't marketed as heavily as pride month, although I do agree that a small bit of research would have solved this easily.

the only reason pride is more known about is bc companies use to to try and make money, they turn all their advertisements into rainbow just hoping to get money

The difference being, one of those groups did absolutely nothing to deserve any recognition.

One group has fought for the freedoms of others. The other group has had their freedoms denied or stripped, plus rejected by family/society. Also a person can be in both groups.

Nothing you referenced is anything other than what should be the norm.
Strange you think this is violating some form of rights that likely never existed, and never should exist.

That's your opinion. You think people shouldn't have the right to be who they are and freely express themselves but I'm the strange one. It's still illegal in some countries to even be LGBTQ, it's punishable by death. I guess those people should never exist?

How is it that LGBT folks expressing themselves freely is somehow walking all over the freedoms the military supposedly fought for?
Surely freedom of expression is a good thing, right?
