    Let me take this opportunity to yet again say FUCK THE TROOPS. I have no sympathy for any of our service people. You have agency. You don’t actually have to do the awful shit that you are doing.

    The corporate media is entirely captured by our entrenched oligarchy and we need to treat them accordingly.

      Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military

      Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail

        So you think they should do murder to keep themselves out of jail?

        Would you murder someone because you were threatened with jail if you didn’t?

          There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don’t. It’s a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.

          By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.
