Oh, sure. MAGA has been primed to hate everything about any future which includes the people they hate, and like always, they're footsoldiers in the billionaire war for power and money (two sides of the same bloody coin). Their side of the war is trying to murder the future.

I hate the mercenaries even more than the Russians. The Russians at least have the excuse of propaganda and being press-ganged. The foreigners could have stayed anywhere else, but chose to go be fascist footsoldiers.

It's a reference to the appearance of the lowest-ranking Irish footsoldiers. More here:

They wanted their own libertarian techbro treehouse without the dreadful noise of the uncouth fascist boors who serve as their footsoldiers
Instead they got a bunch of dirty, poor leftist faggots and now it’s just petulantly sawing off random branches to see what happens

If they don't like brutalizing other people and violating their oath to uphold the constitution they can quit. Instead they have chosen to serve as footsoldiers of fascism and thus have forfeited recourse to "what about my feelings/humanity?" claims.
In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, Blas Nuñez-Neto wouldn't tell us his clients, but did say we should remember that ICE agents are people too. (Can't believe this quote below)

![Nuñez-Neto recommended that protesters understand that ICE agents are people, too.
“I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.
“We’re all human beings, many of them have families, many of them don’t want to be doing what they’ve been directed to do … so it would help us all to lower the temperature a bit. I’m angry too.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreia3sqpgq4ufvy746ld4tuadfwuf7ul4so6u2wjhf5oggd6kzxibtm@jpeg)

The thing is, Hanania is an amoral grifter who has simply chosen a different way of seeking attention. He no longer has a significant audience, so he won't be bringing any converts or footsoldiers.
He'll turn back when the time is ripe for his "why i left the left" piece to do real numbers.

Folks, if Richard Hanania now wants to fight the administration, racism and fascism, you let him do it and don't grind his nose in all the shit he did to make it happen until after the fight is won.
You don't trust him, you don't rely on him. But you don't shit on his claimed conversion. Yet.

Europeans could have put a red line to Damascus regarding normalisation in case of attacks on the Kurds and SDF affiliated territories which we used as our main footsoldiers against ISIS in Syria...
Instead we let ex al-qaeda fighters take over because we're more interested in returning refugees

Heavy fighting erupted between Syrian govt forces and the SDF across Raqqa, Hasakah, and Aleppo despite a ceasefire. ISIS prisons were overrun, with reports of escapes and dozens killed on both sides. Iraq placed its border forces on high alert amid fears of infiltration. #Syria

The fact that he wasn't jailed the day Biden was sworn in or arrested when all those Classified Doc were found in his bathroom or that the FBI went after all the footsoldiers and none of the ringleaders and organizers. People say Democrats are weak and they've proven it time and time again.

Why are we celebrating veterans in 2026?
I’m not suggesting that we should antagonize veterans at ALL. Don’t.
But why celebrate their service to the US empire?
If USA is an oppressive empire—which it is and always has been since the Founding—then it doesn’t make sense to celebrate footsoldiers.

Billionaire proprietors. Extreme wealth inequality cannot survive on its own merit, it requires its footsoldiers in the media. What I cannot understand is why the beeb platforms him. A man with so little to say and no constituency to speak of.

Your comment was about 'mass violence at scale' so yes, it does actually matter that the people who committed the violence were in jail. Those footsoldiers would have to be replaced. The number of people willing to commit to violence on behalf of Trump is finite.

The American people have a right to know: What legal foundation was used to authorize deployment of thousands of heavily armed paramilitary footsoldiers to Minnesota? Trump says it's about alleged fraud (he would know about that)... that would require an FBI investigation & due process, NOT invasion

You think the footsoldiers of fascism are having a good time in the regime? Eventually they run out of victims lower down the rungs than them, and then they become the victims. It never stops. The *best* you can hope for under fascism is slavery. You will always have your will subsumed by the order.

This argument won't resonate with you if you also think Jan 6 was "just a riot" and its story was of its deluded footsoldiers, not of the organizers who brought those people to the Capitol on Jan 6, then steered them around. It's those organizers, who weren't reported on, who got emboldened. 4/

It's quite the spectacle, with hundreds of footsoldiers, civilians and cavalry. I'll be there but running media liaison rather than musketeering as usual.

Day 19, in the home stretch now, back again with more Dynasty Warriors 7 which means more silly anachronistic weaponry being swung at hapless footsoldiers in the name of conquest and destiny.

Oh, gosh yes, there was this battle, and it looked OK, but...
The shapes resolved into shrouded footsoldiers and the archers loosed three, four, rapid flights of arrows before the eerie silence of the new enemies registered.
Horses screamed and Anneka choked, “Ghosts!”

Every culture war is a disguise for some group of wealthy executives trying to buy their way into avoiding accountability for the externalities of their industry, and far right conspiracy theories and extremists are just the footsoldiers of this goal.
