Pete Hegseth is promoting a nihilist cult of death

Hegseth is unleashing the Four Horsemen of the MAGAcalypse: War, Death, Stupidity and Alcoholism.

Petey's come a long way from his sexual assault days. It's not like his mom didn't warn us: > Son, > I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out.. > You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. > I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out. > Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith. > I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care) > Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women > We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted] > And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply) > I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Still tired of people using nihilist in this way. Nihilists don't believe there's any purpose/meaning behind existence. These people are the complete opposite of that and that's why they're a death cult.

It would be nice if any of these super violent macho men would be willing to risk their own lives and limbs on the front lines.

Of course, as long as someone else does the dying. These warmongers never serve on the frontlines themselves, nor their children do.

Not surprising at all, given that they are fascists and fascism is a nihilistic death cult. For example: the cult of action for action's sake, contempt for the weak and worship of strength, pacifism is treason, dissent is treason, enemies are both strong and weak, ... All of those are prominent features of the rhetoric surrounding this war and all of them are characteristics of fascism.

Apparently MAGA's were born to die for Trump. Such a sad life.

Pete Hegseth is a cartoon of a human being.

Hesgeth is disgusting in every sense of the word

Hi it's called evangelical Christianity.

I’m sure he’ll be first on the frontlines and leading by example.

You mean evangelism ?

Yes it's called Christianity. 

Some politicians masculinity obsessions overwhelm them. You see it in every jittery camp gesture and on-camera meth-speed performance.

How much longer for the skull emblems on the hats?

Bro needs to break out a dictionary and read what the entry for "nihilist" says.

Christianity? 

Drunk cowboy giving us proper nihilists a bad name! Just another reason to hate him

Nihilistic? No, just Christian.

That’s a lot of extra words to say “Christianity”

No, it's a Christian cult of death.

We believe in nothing Lebowski, NOTHING

Pete Kegbreath is an alcoholic frat boy and a 16 yr old in a middle aged man's body.

“We care about nussing, Lebowski.”

Hegseth is the epitome of Stupidity

It's not just Pete. At least half of America's political establishment has no vision worth believing in. It's time for other nations to step up, as you can't lead anything without inspiring people. Certainly not the "free world".

Christianity + alcohol + steroids = nihilist cult (side effects may include: small brain, tiny p****, bursts of rage, thinking you're "alpha" something).

You spell his name Herr Heinrich H-I-M-M-L-E-R.

I wonder if there is some drug abuse problems there.

Yeah it’s weird how Hegseth can equate Christianity and blatant textbook terrorism into one box of a personality tbh

He should lead by example

surprise !

>Ripper: Mandrake? Mandrake: Yes, Jack? Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack. Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water? Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes. Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack. Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water? Mandrake: Good Lord! Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously) Ripper: Are you beginning to understand? Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter) Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol? Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes. Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes. Ripper: Well, do you know what it is? Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no. Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

That's what incompetent men do - practice rage quitting.

Pope is promoting Catholicism 🤔

Anybody thought he changed the name to Dept. of War for nothing?

Remember when conservatives at least pretended to have morals and principles instead of being depressed angry edgelords? How embarrassing for them

This is the least hyperbolic headline

Ma che cazzo di problemi avete negli USA ?

Nihilist? Sounds exhausting.

Catholicism?

Hegseth has gone from a cheerleader of war criminals to being one himself. While the US is relatively immune to retaliation for his acts in the short term, his actions are building a bulwark of hatred against the US that is putting everyone and everything in the country at extreme risk over the long term.

Of course he is he’s very mentally unbalanced

He probably thinks Dr Strangelove is a patriotic film.

new book club assignment - Umberto Eco's *Ur-Fascism*

There's nothing nihilistic about invoking Jesus and holy wars. It's a nice word thou to sprinkle into sentences to make them sound evil.
