A bit immature, but seeing the video compilation they made recently, the governement functions at the same mental level of a 12yo on a monster energy binge, so it might be the correct way to address them.

I wish all deceased United States and Israeli combatants in the invasion of Iran a very RIP bozo.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Americans are very much not for the invasion, and outright protesting it.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We're not talking about americans in general, we're talking about people who knowingly signed up to murder children for oil.

Just the stuff you can find, that has certain implications. Good luck getting anything thanks to this propaganda war.

There was also some warships toilets getting sabotaged and clogged iirc.

She clearly was, otherwise she wouldn't be wearing the uniform. Imagine dying for pedophiles smh.

People always act like being in the military just absolves them of all their personal moral obligations. It is the morally correct thing to refuse these orders even if it means going to prison. Yes believe it or not, you going to prison is better than you killing innocent people.

Not a great decision of her to help the US in its territorial ambitions but I'm also not a fan of victim blaming aka "she had it coming".

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Especially when the US economy is basically stacked in such a way that the military is promoted as the only reliable path out of poverty for many (which the state also artificially maintains).

There's a pipeline of high school to military recruitments for grads who have been convinced by their embedded ROTC recruiters that they have no other options.

There are no more summer lifeguard jobs
There are no more art museums to guard
The lab is out of white lab coats
Cause there are no more slides and microscopes
But there are still careers in combat, my son
There are still careers in combat, my son

There are no more roles on TV shows
There are no road-cone dispensing jobs
There are no spots left for park ranger
Cause there are no bears left to save you from
But there are still careers in combat, my son
There are still careers in combat, my son

What about perpetrator blaming?

[–] ExplosiveLynx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, she joined the military knowing exactly what we do with it. Not gonna shed a tear for someone propping up American imperialism and terrorism.

[–] SalamenceFury@piefed.social 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

18 year olds are surprisingly easy to fool, let alone 18 year olds who have been getting groomed by recruiters since age 14.

You are not immune to propaganda and pretending you are does not make you an intellectual, it makes you unable to see when you fall for it.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Except military recruiters lying their ass off is a universally known trope. This is a classic wolves ate my face, they went into the military for the benefits, fuck everyone else. And now it turns out the military cared for them about as much as it cares for the people she oppressed for them.

The government setting it up so the path of least resistance is becoming a pedo doesn't make becoming a pedo ok

Idk, i don't really feel bad for terrorists

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Its actually such a disaster that the only way to appeal to the average US citizen is to make them worry about their own people. Brown people in the middle east just dont have worth i guess?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 15 points 1 month ago

And gas prices. Blowing up brown people is a bonus

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 3 points 1 month ago

I think they were referring to the US soldiers

Most of the time, terrorists exist because the Epstein class bombed their family members.

Edit: Which is not relevant here because I misunderstood that OP was saying that the American military are terrorists.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The epstein class hasnt bombed white folk in america, yet. The OP was calling american military members terrorists.

Nope but she did chose to live and die to enforce imperialism so hard to feel bad for her.

Why did she? Seems like a case of FAFO.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Seems like a case of bait-and-switch.

She was a reservist, meaning she was told she'd be training on weekends and working her regular job during the week. It should be illegal to send reservists to these wars of choice, but Dubya changed that during the War on Terror because no one wanted to go to Iraq and Afghanistan to die.

And I'm not comfortable blaming the soldiers just yet, when all the evidence we have is that the military and joint chiefs (sans Keg-Breath) told Donald not to do this and he told them to fuck themselves and did it anyway.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (4 children)

In this day and age, if you sign up for the military you know there is a high chance you will be sent to a foreign country that did nothing to us to kill brown children to distract from the fact that our leaders are raping other children.

Or you would know it if the USA wasn't the most propagandized place on the face of the earth.

And then his buddy Putin gave the American military targets to Iran, then convinced Trump to remove the sanctions on Russian oil.

So Trump starts a war that jacks up oil prices, and firms up the markets for Russia and Tesla, making Putin and Musk the big winners.
