critical support to the foreign fash for removing some of our fash
Sorry media, I don’t care what happens to mercenaries, they knew what they were signing up for
Mercs get merc’ed
I do care. Because I want the bastards gone
Wow, color me surprised that people willing to go and fight in a conflict that doesn’t have any bearing on them personally might be bloodthirsty!
I think in this instance the mercs were more bloodquenching than bloodthirsty
Naive moron brits go and join groups full of literal actual full blown nazis then find out that disagreeing with them over anything in a warzone gets you killed.
I’d almost feel sorry for them if I didn’t know they’ve destroyed lives elsewhere they’ve been.
I won’t die in the war. That only happens to other people.
fucking dies
the physical impossibility of death in the mind of a living

Are they naïve or are they fash themselves?
I believe that it’s mixed. I have family that are in some high british military places and they’re certainly not fash. They are however well meaning idiots that believe the propaganda. I could easily see them thinking they’re doing something good in their post-military days by signing up for something like this and not realising that it’s a completely different world to the sheltered environment and view of war that the British military provides them.
Well meaning fools that are fed propaganda is exactly how you get the fash. There’s a reason folks say “scratch a liberal”. Because on the surface they’re all sunshine and friendship for all and apple pie with tea. But then, at a moment’s notice, they go all “we must exterminate Russians, break up their country and make sure they stay down. For the greater good, of course”. And when, as you said, their sheltered worldview clashes with the unpleasant reality, they grow frustrated and violent. Because they couldn’t have possibly been fed propaganda from the moment of their birth, no siree! Propaganda is what them ebil commies do! Everyone’s a free thinker out there in Europe! It is the Enemy that is wrong and bad and forces their hand to do bad things!
In the case of the clown that is the thread’s topic, I might have given him a benefit of the doubt if he had gone as a medic or stayed in the rear as a humanitarian volunteer. But that’s not what happened. He went to a different country, to join a war his government is not officially a part of, with the explicit purpose of murdering people. Either for money, for fun or because he thought it was a right thing to do. If it bleats like a fash
before setting up his own volunteer unit in Ukraine, the Dark Angels.
Warhammer reference or just intersectionality of fash naming conventions?
Probably both knowing a lot of 40K chuds

lol
Lol. Lmao, even.
Imagine going to fight in a volunteer Legion that’s almost certainly full of war loving psychopaths. What happened to the reddit battalion is the best case scenario for these people.
Getting vaporized by a thermobaric missile?
Compared to enduring whatever combination of 4chan-derived torture death and third-rate nazi villain monologues and/or epic keks they were surely getting in

such a pity! 
Critical support
The first thing I thought when I saw that headline was “loot drop” and sure enough the only photo of a guy over there had him wearing $300 Crye pants and a loaded plate carrier. Man had an £8k stipend too, no wonder it didn’t sit right with the rest of his squad lol
Rip bozo
Also, is there a non-paywalled link? I’m not very tech savvy so I don’t know how to get around it myself
most of the time you can bypass news paywalls by disabling javascript on that page
firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/
chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-javascript/jfpdlihdedhlmhlbgooailmfhahieoem
opera: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/javascript-toggle-on-and-off/
Is there an option for mobile? I’m usually reading hexbear on my phone at work and would prefer not to have the history on my work computer
You can install add-ons for mobile browsers the same way you do for normal browsers. If you’re using Safari (on iPhone) you may need to install firefox or something first.
Another thing that often works is going into reader mode and then refreshing from there. The reader mode icon should be in your URL bar and turn the webpage into just text.
