First time I open Lemmy and save a post so quickly.

At least 153 girls in the first attack.

"Don't worry! I'll come back and be venerated as a hero for protecting Western imperialism. And possibly become a "progressive" candidate for Maine, if I get enough nazi tattoos."

Yeah but the ones that die are "suckers and losers".

Love Pedolf Shitler that’s great. I was using pedolini and the rise of the turd Reich

One of the very few true things he's said.

even a broken clock is right twice a day

except if it's an electronic clock

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 31 minutes ago

Except if THAT is a 12 o'clock flasher, in which case it is correct about 30 times each day.

they are killing people worldwide because they are imperialistic nazis, not because they are afraid of any consequences related to epstein, because there won't be.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

No consequences from the Epstein-class or their puppet politicians, but there could be consequences from people like you and me if we organize a revolution.

that's a big if

America loves thier soldiers until they have to take care of them

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So much this. The same people saying "thank you for your service" are the same people that constantly want to cut veteran services. Sure they care when you're a tool for their goals, but why can't you then just instantly become an invisible member of society once you're done?

Oh, you want more?! Wasn't service enough for you? How dare you be traumatized by killing people and having bombs nearly blow you up! Maybe you should be a man.

But maybe I'm just too sensitive about this...

There's no contradiction here. The US military exists to preserve and extend capitalism. Taking care of veterans would be socialist. Being abandoned by the state, as soon as you no longer serve a purpose for generating profit, is the best way to say thank you. It shows that everything you fought for is successful and working better than ever!

No sympathy for willing imperial enforcers.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 69 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (33 children)

I despise anyone who becomes a soldier of their own free will. The moment you enlist, you accept that you could be obliged to kill, and that you will have no control over whether that killing will be justified.

In other words, you accept the possibility that you could become a murderer.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's why the US likes to keep a well stocked under class which makes the Army one of the few options to get out of abject poverty.

No you don't understand, they are doing it to get into college! /sarcasm

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

If we had free college tuition and universal healthcare, there would be no one to fight the pedo oligarchs' wars for them.

Which is why republicans and centrist democrats oppose both free tuition and universal healthcare.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 11 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That's an angle that more people should talk about, honestly.

The mistreatment of the American populace isn't just to keep a steady supply of cheap labor for the rich people's investments, it's to keep a steady supply of cheap lives for the government to do their dirty work.

My generation's dead and disabled veterans fell in service to that sweet Iraqi oil. Oh and the Saddam hidden underground meme, can't forget that one!

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 8 points 19 hours ago

It's almost like soldiers are not immune to the material conditions that help perpetuate the capitalist empire......?

Historically one of the most important missions for any revolution is to spread class consciousness among the imperialist troops.

I don't really know how people really expect a revolution to be possible while withholding class solidarity from the only people who have military training.
