A draft dodger removing the name of a political martyr from a naval warship is EXACTLY what I had on my Fucked Up Bingo Card of 2025.

Political martyr and navy vet

I fucking hate this country

[–] [email protected] 45 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

It's not the country, it's the scumbags in power.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 22 hours ago

Nah a non-insignificant amount of the citizens of the country suck too.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No, half the country voted for this. Or failed to vote against it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A large portion of the country didn't vote actually, but I don't fully blame those who did, American nationalism propaganda works

Pew Research found that even if 100% of eligible voters had voted, Trump would still have been elected, unfortunately: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/behind-trumps-2024-victory-a-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-voter-coalition/

US sure has a shitty election system. It has nothing to do with democracy, but that is of course by design.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

The country definitely has some big problems, since a long while

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It’s the country. Those who didn’t vote actively for it are giving their tacit approval every day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago

That’s easy to say from outside looking in. But Canada was only a 3% vote away from fascism. So laugh it up while you , because you’re next

They're ultimately representative of each other

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

They're the same picture

The cowardice of them is remarkable. Harvey wouldn't have liked the direction america is going, but he'd sure be proud to know erasing his name wasn't possible in any other manner than covertl, lay-low operation. Yep, Harvey, they were afraid to single you out now, that's an achivement we got after you died, but, depressingly enough, it seems we'd roll all of that back to the times and challenges you've faced.

Oh wow, we definitely didn’t intentionally mean to always just change the one and called it a project so people wouldn’t care as much when our intention was to always stop at just Harvey

[–] [email protected] 13 points 20 hours ago

But, totally not politically motivated. At all.

Question for the sailors out there: if they change the name back will that uncurse it or make it twice as cursed, since the name was changed twice?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

It will be both cursed and uncured until someone Ship of Theseuses it

MotherFUCKERS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

I'm actually laughing out loud at this bullshit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

If they were to use Von Steuben as a replacement name, wait until they find out.
