Which instances are you on? I've seen plenty of talk about his Blackwater days, and the tattoo he got while a marine stationed in Croatia.
I am talking about comments threads like this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/51555751
Search for "Blackwater". There's ONE guy (with an argument which, while I don't agree with it, at least seems like a coherent thing that an average Lemmy person would come up with logically to me, exactly what I was talking about in my scenario one). Then, look around at the comments and the absolutely screaming tide of people running up and down wanting to talk about the tattoo and also casually using a wide variety of logical fallacies while they are doing so. It's weird.
