It’s part of their uniform, fastened to their helmets

Edit: apparently they are clip-on, then it's just stupid

Edit 2: Say something -> get corrected -> admit you were wrong and correct your initial comment -> still get downvoted

Why is the lemmy downvote spiral like this ?

Why do they need helmets? Are they a biker department?

Those are on clips so you can remove them when not needed, preventing you from beating the shit out of your NVGs as they tend to be expensive.

Oh man Lemmy will literally just keep downvoting because they saw someone else do it. It's way worse here than even like stack overflow.

I don't know if people just don't read and make their own opinions or if people think everyone here is in their group so any downvoting/dogpiling must be deserved.

Maybe it's just a disgust at anything unfactual even if corrected but boy does it kill conversation that barely exists.

To keep their reptilian brains from slipping out their ear holes.

It’s about more than just the NVGs. It’s their whole everything. These cosplaying fascists think they are literally at war with the world. They don’t Need ANY of what they’re wearing and they shouldn’t be wearing it.
