    Honestly, I’m all for this. While the American/Israeli regime is awful, so is the job market. Joining the military can give purpose and direction in lives that otherwise have neither.

    Either way you’re going to be serving the regime. At least in the military you can do it with some dignity and gain useful experience that can help you when you get out. That’s not mentioning the better pay and benefits that go along with it.

    That is EXACTLY how the Epstein predator class sees the rest of us. Utterly purposeless and directionless, unless serving themselves as wage slaves to be exploited or cannon fodder to be killed, things to be used and discarded.

    And if we’re not old enough to get a job or be drafted, not to worry: they’re also knocking down both child labor laws and protecting pedophiles everywhere you look. For our “purpose,” of course. And our “direction,” which only they can provide, and only exists if it serves themselves.

    And here’s you @metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org with your fresh new seven-day-old account that you will delete again as soon as it a) gets banned, or b) gets so thoroughly blocked by the “purposeless and directionless” masses you’re trying to influence that nothing you post gets any traction and you have to create a new one.

    You should be ashamed, but I imagine that would require some humanity and I’m not holding my breath.

        Metakrakalaka@lemmy.chan.org, simping for the Epstein class, tells me

        You need to calm down.

        What I need, and what other sentient beings need, is LESS calm. “Calm down,” lol. Fucking hardly. And if I ever do, it definitely won’t be because someone openly simping for the billionaire status quo tells me it’s required.

        Yeah, your class would like that a lot. “Move along, follow the arrows neatly painted for you, then enter the orphan-grinding-cannon-foddering labor exploitation machine quietly and in a single line, thank you!”

        Fuck calm. And thanks for letting me know I got to you.
