It is quite literally risking your life in order to establish and secure resource chains for the western oligarch class, for the privilege of going to school to be one of the oligarch’s slightly higher paid underclass.
Despite all the cringe posters, there is no honor to be had in the modern military of the last 50 years. Like so much else, our military works in service to the interests of our owner class through our captured and well-bribed government. They’ve destabilized entire governments solely to improve commerce with the capitalist regime that replaces the last one.
One thing I am certain of, Constitutionality be damned, if the American citizenry ever does wise up and rise up against our owners, our military will be turned on us and kill as many citizens of this “society” as it takes to protect our beloved economy. 99% of soldiers will follow their paychecks and the promised safety of their families on secure bases and pull the trigger on us, too.
That’s what happens when you let the growth/metastasis of your economy take precident over the good of your society aka its citizens as we did so very long ago. An economy is meant to be a lowly tool to better distribute goods and services for the benefit of the society it serves, just fyi.
Your comment doesn’t even make sense in the context of what OP wrote. They didn’t talk about their personal experience at all really. It was more a universal take about awakening to the role of the military in the modern age. I guess, unfortunately for humanity, you are the perfect candidate to wear a uniform.
I mean, you implied your experience being a part of an organisation that literally kills people for money and destroys whole civilisations wasn’t a negative one. I feel like you don’t see how hostile you actually are just by existing in that state. My words are nothing in comparison.
Economic collapse after the reserve currency is switched away from the dollar through dedollarisation is likely to happen first. Won’t be able to dodge the next financial crisis by printing infinite money.
I would join the space force if there were cool stuff like starships and space Marines. But we aren’t there yet so we can’t do cool stuff like fighting alien bugs and doing our part.
Because it says 199 right now and I have one comment alone with 150+ and a post with ~135, plus 150 or so more comments most of which are between 5 and 30 and I don’t think any of which are negative. Like 3 days ago it said 500 something. I don’t know the best way to get a correct number, I personally don’t care tbh.
Edit: and please don’t take that as me being dismissive or an asshole, I hope you find a way to properly figure it out. I think I’ve seen folks say it’s in the Lemmy instance database but idk I just have the database running, I wouldn’t know where to start on how to check.
I’ve not seen anything pornographic at all, but I’ve been exclusively using Connect for Lemmy. My feed is basically all memes and news, oh and people complaining about Reddit.
