See, this is what I'm talking about. Your life isn't worth more than that of many, many foreigners. It's one thing to be like "I didn't know any better and I regret it" and quite another to put on the whole Chris Kyle self martyrdom piece.
Unless I'm mistaken, there's still other ways to feed and house yourself that don't involve signing up for the wall street Wehrmacht. Like, I imagine living inside the empire it's normalized as hell but I don't think there's any excuse not to know nowadays.
Statesians having a choice of aiding the big murder machine or having an uphill battle to live in dignity is pretty shitty, but I think that animosity should be directed to the government and not people who think it's still pretty ghoulish to act like there wasn't even a choice. People used to go to jail for dodging the draft and some of y'all act like soldiers are all enlisted at gunpoin bc they offer you college and insurance.
Idk chief I think if I needed those things I'd organize my community to demand them first and not go into the "will I kill a bunch of innocent foreigners" lottery.
Sometimes I say "libs think imperialism is when any country does anything outside of their border except for western ones" and think I'm being ridiculously hyperbolic but god damn if there ain't a lot of y'all who do think like that
Germany learned plenty. They learned, for example, that by doing your atrocities in service of the hegemon you'll be rewarded. What wasn't okay was doing them while attempting to become the hegemon.
No shit. They were calling for peace talks for about 3 years and now that they're steadily advancing and your sponsor is pulling your funding you want a ceasefire?
How would they justify it to their people (and the soldiers) after the escalations of the past few months, including the drone attacks on apartment blocks?
I guess God will protect them once they run out. Or that's what they must have thought because how delusional must you be to think that having more monopoly money will make you impervious to the humongous firepower that Iran has (and their ridiculous population advantage if this becomes a shooting war)
