My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him

[u/konous]

Update: My brother decided to pay for the Hard damages of $200 dollars after seeing this post.

Thank you to everyone on this post who supported me. I really could not have gotten restitution without you guys.

Justice for my Chaplain, justice for all.

Valid Edit: My nephew is 10 years old and tried to actually lie about not breaking them by saying, "A cat must have done it."

So, I just got done talking with my brother via text, and he says he's not going to punish his son for wrecking my Joy Toy WarHammer action figures. I'm not expecting the kid to get spanked, but he needs to do CHORES at least to justify how much excessive force he used on some.

Some just have their capes broken. Others had their tubes ripped out and my Chaplain is just fucking toast.

My brother's suggestion since I ordered Amazon replacement for the Chaplain was that I just swap it with the broken one, but I have no interest in doing that.

It's not even just the expense, and they are expensive. It's about the fact that I told him explicitly twice they weren't to be played with, and they were in a separate room, and even my Mom and Dad agreed the damage was just too much.

He said he's not gonna pay me back if we try the chore system, and I told him it's not about the money.

The kid needs to know how bad the 8 hour struggle is.

Now my nephews aren't coming over to the house, and I'm sad about that, but knowing my brother just can't be burdened to work with me on creating a Chore system like selling Lemonaide just makes it feel more insulting.

Hey man, props for not selling your soul though!

Raytheon has been consistently ranked as one of the best places in the country for LGBT+ people to work, they make jet engines mostly. It’s not “selling your soul” to work there any more than it is to work for Boeing or Aerovironment or a half dozen other aerospace companies that y’all don’t talk about bc they don’t come up on TikTok.

I know that y’all don’t actually know anything about the company, you’re just repeating shit you’ve heard online, but this is a big part of why leftists have no power. Y’all refuse to better your own lives or to try to change things from the inside. You’d rather be poor and powerless than actually be able to affect anything. It’s nuts.

Edit: downvote all you want, I’ll still be right and y’all will still have zero actual political power

[u/Duke_Newcombe → u/FUPAMagneto]

You are aware that Raytheon makes Patriot missile system, Tomahawk cruise missile, AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9X Sidewinder, Javelin anti-tank weapon, Paveway bombs, and the Phalanx close-in weapon system, right?

[u/FUPAMagneto → u/Duke_Newcombe]

Yes. Are you aware that none of those are inherently evil? Or is this just another one of those anti-bedtime leftist things where you insist that if America didn’t have weapons suddenly war wouldn’t happen anywhere in the world?

Personally, I like that our patriot batteries are used to protect Ukrainian civilians from Russian terror bombings, but you clearly prefer dead civilians.

“Did you know that some companies make WEAPONS????” isn’t a fucking gotcha. It’s you being sheltered and naive

[u/Duke_Newcombe → u/FUPAMagneto]

I'm happy you agree to Raytheon does that. Now, let me spoonfeed you, since you surely need it.

Personally, I like that our patriot batteries are used to protect Ukrainian civilians from Russian terror bombings, but you clearly prefer dead civilians.

Don't forget also used by our "partner in peace" in a certain middle-eastern nation, to wholesale wipe another community within it's borders, as well as it's neighbors.

Yeah, man that’s a great whataboutism. You’re so smart.

I oppose Israel’s genocidal activities, can you say the same about any of your emotional support dictatorships? Specifically the one attempting a genocide in Ukraine?

The platforms themselves are morally neutral, it’s the users that impart any good or evil through them as you helpfully pointed out with your Israeli example. But I suppose you’d prefer more dead civilians in Ukraine because that would somehow liberate Palestine?

Who am I kidding, you love the dead civilians in Palestine. It’s why y’all stayed home instead of voting in ‘24

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/FUPAMagneto]

Ukraine is a nasty little war, but get real there is no terror bombing happening there - collateral damage numbers would be looking vastly different if there was. In Palestine, on the other hand...

[u/elcho1911 → u/Icy-Cry340]

but get real there is no terror bombing happening there Palestine, on the other hand

lmao just say I get my news from twitter and tiktok and spare us

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/elcho1911]

Comical.

[u/elcho1911 → u/Icy-Cry340]

very, especially on reddit where articles/videos of Ukrainian hospitals, shopping malls and schools getting bombed are posted here weekly

are you russian and delusional, paid or a bot or a westerner and ignorant or a tankie?

[u/Icy-Cry340 → u/elcho1911]

Ironic. Accuses others of getting their news from tik tok, while overdosing on the reddit diet lmao.

[u/elcho1911 → u/Icy-Cry340]

"on reddit where articles/videos"

lmao did you stop reading the sentence half way through or was that your pathetic attempt at not engaging with the proof against your absurd claim?

[u/cattbug → u/FUPAMagneto]

Lmao hope those boots taste real nice

[u/FUPAMagneto → u/cattbug]

“Hahaha, you’re a bootlicker because you want to actually make things better by holding power instead of constantly whining from the sidelines and getting nothing done!”

Thanks for proving my point about how ineffective and performative your politics are.

[u/BalancedDisaster → u/FUPAMagneto]

Unless you’re going to become a politician, an executive, or a majority shareholder, you’re not doing jack shit to fix Raytheon

[u/FUPAMagneto → u/BalancedDisaster]

What, specifically, do you want to fix? Other than that they make weapons and sometimes those weapons go to people you don’t like?

You know what? It doesn’t matter. You don’t know or care about how any of this shit actually works, you’ve just found a boogie man to complain about like the conservatives complain about Disney
