A self-published work whose main citations are the constitution and Ben Shapiro, author Lt. Col. Mathew Lohmeier sketches out a tenuous connection between diversity training, satanic poetry, chaos energy, and the illuminati to show how Marx's politics of victimhood is unmaking the freedom-loving institution of the US military.
Before we wrap up, can I just read one quick, my favorite quote that I think you'll appreciate from the book?
Please do.
So it's from the latter section of the book.
And I didn't get all the way through it, but this is the section where he starts recounting tales of all the people who are leaving the military because of all the Marxism.
Oh yeah, I didn't get to this.
I'm here to hear it.
I had to sit down, like lay down for a full half hour after I read this.
So he says, Another young man explained that he was beginning to wonder if everything he had been taught growing up was wrong.
He explained that he had been raised in a conservative Christian home and possessed a patriotic disposition by nature.
They hate our way of life!
Our values are under attack!
He knew that his worldview conflicted with the ideas presented in the base's diversity and inclusion trainings, as well as what he saw playing out daily and weekly in the mainstream media.
He felt unanchored.
He, like so many others, had become a victim of gaslighting.
Watch out for gaslighting.
It'll fucking turn your world up sometimes.
I am a culture.
Two plus two is in four.
I am a cultural conservative raised with patriotic values and bipolar disorder who has been gaslit.
Oh, oh, oh.
Also, in the diversity and inclusion shit, he literally likens diversity and inclusion training to what the Vietnamese did to POWs in the war.
Was it the Vietnamese or was it China?
It was China.
He talks about POWs in the Korean War who were debriefed after they returned.
And he talks about how they were forced to apologize or they were forced to admit guilt or that sort of thing.
They weren't physically tortured, they were just called in, essentially.
And he was like, and this was the worst offense of all, you know?
And he was like, and... Oh, I have the quote here.
I just... I bypassed it, but it's pretty good.
It is...
Even prisoners... yeah, okay.
The Geneva Conventions of August 12th, 1949, which among other things established the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of combatants during war, expressly prohibit any form of, quote, coercion used to, quote, secure from POWs information of any kind whatever.
Perhaps you think that's unlikely, and you'd probably be right.
But just wait till you read the next sentence.
The language in Part 3, Section 1, Article 17 goes so far as to say that POWs who, quote, refuse to answer the questions put to them by their captors, quote, may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to any unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind.
Did you catch that?
According to international law, even prisoners are not to be threatened.
Even prisoners are not to be insulted or exposed to any unpleasant treatment of any kind.
That's what the law says.
What I find incredibly ironic is that as a country, at present, we come nowhere close to holding ourselves to a similar standard of conduct toward even our own citizens.
We abuse one another in ways prohibited by international law as unlawful for the treatment of prisoners held during war.
Systemically, this is true.
You got it.
Isn't the most snowflake thing in the world to say that if you make fun of me ever, it's against the Geneva Conventions?
It's literal torture.
It's literal torture.
It's worse than what they did to POWs.
If you send me the pig poop balls picture on Twitter, you might as well literally cut my heart out of my chest.
It's bamboo shoots under the fingernails.
Listen, you can pull my fingernails, you can keep me in a bamboo cage in the water, but if you dare insult me to my face, I'm coming after you!
