Isn’t called the military-industrial complex for nothing.
Comment on More people are joining the military. A shaky US job market could be boosting the numbers.

That’s the entire point. As long as life on the outside of the military is slightly worse, they’ll continue to have meat for the grinder. Why do you think the military has ‘not terrible’ social programs and education benefits?

Similar to Russia, as the government makes the economy worse, more people will be willing to join the army. In the US&A, it’s a much easier decision compared to Russia. Most soldiers don’t risk their lives and get killed by drones; they just need to overcome their conscience and commit atrocities against innocent people.

I know a young woman who told me the other day… that she thought hard about it but decided to volunteer to do a DHS ICE mission because ‘if the shoe were on the other foot, they’d do it to me’ and because she really needed to make ends meet.

So she’s a piece of shit that makes excuses for her crimes and will raise her child to be a piece of shit as-well.

The point is that they’re dividing and conquering us with enforced poverty and their fabricated race war. The only war is class war.

Thought real hard from the sound of things. Real hard.
She’s “just tryna make her nut” but get this, if you help the fascists your nut just keeps getting bigger and you keep getting sadder. Committing immoral acts and watching as your country gets worse and your bills just go up.

What a world that the best portrayal of this bullshit stance is from a toilet humour cartoon.

Morals are relative and thought of as mostly unnecessary for many people. Tsk tsk. But fuck other people (not literally, of course, because prostitution is better than this!), right? Who cares about the destiny of one’s soul? 🙄
