@jjorbles.bsky.social told me about first blood & I never understood how people use “Rambo” as a synonym for proUS, pro-manly man, probullshit when in reality he snapped & it basically tells us the us doesn’t give a fuck about you even if you risk your life & serve in the military. Literally ACAB.

in concert with this, y'all, tell folks around you today how First Blood spreads an ACAB and anti-NIMBY message. He just wanted some food. At the diner. Ffs.
