Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) suggested recently that Russia has a military advantage over the United States because the country's white people don't feel guilty about racism.
In comments made to The Spectator, Gaetz seemed to be annoyed by Gen. Mark Milley, who schooled the congressman in a hearing last month about the importance of studying critical race theory (CRT) and "white rage."
"Nobody in Russia is quivering over their 'white rage' whatever that is,' Gaetz said. "In China, they spend money modifying submarines, not the genders of service-members."
"And I'm going to battle against this," he continued. "Only a Benedict Arnold would surrender the Pentagon to the Woketopia without a fight."

Also a term for older men that chase younger boys and girls.

I suppose the closet analogy leaves the discussion open to misinterpretation?

(810 posts)...would be hilarious if they weren't so dangerous. How many of these loudmouths served? Well, not many. Yet they know all about what makes the military great -what's going on at ground-level. Just ask them.
I might listen to them had they not begged off military service with bone spurs, cysts, and other assorted doctor's notes. Those that were too lazy (or whatever) to go to a doctor couldn't serve because they were in school (lookin' at you, umpteen student deferment Cheney). Then there's the "W" strategy of going into the Guard or Reserves. That doesn't work anymore, but it sure worked when I was in the Army. Their units, highly populated by wealthy, white men, would come in for training every now and again. Training that few of them took seriously. It wasn't 'Nam. That's all it needed to be for them. They weren't serving, they were gaming.
Sorry for the rant. These wimpy boy-children have been irritating me for nearly fifty years, though.

(5,126 posts)I coined one many years ago so I could reference them as easily. Big Dumb Frat Jocks, or BDFJs, are a main reason we are in the environmental/social/political shithouse nowadays. They are usually the worst examples of humanity and yet they are revered by most of the population. Probably because of that degree that was given to them due to their parents money or their sports participation that made tons of money for the university (which in a weird way, I suppose, means that they 'earned' it). BDFJs are everywhere and they are treated (by most) as paragons of our society. They are little more than rabid weasels, prancing around with their cocks out (literally in some cases) and trying to attack anything that they deem 'unworthy', which can include each other. Ask Romney about that hair incident. A prime example of a BDFJ's thinking and entitlement. They are a scourge that needs to be removed from our society, because they bear a lot of responsibility for the damage caused to it.

(32,080 posts)The reason there's no "white rage" in the Russian Army is because it's 99% white. The Chinese Army is 100% Chinese. It's kind of difficult to have racial strife when everyone is the same race. Of course, that is most likely what he's pushing for. The little scumbag ain't gonna last long in prison. I just want to know why he's not already there.
