    i think the real indictment is how we treat people who refuse to participate and die for the profit of the already rich; the government treats them with imprisonment while the rest of us treat them like a coward for standing up for themselves in thoroughly fucked up system…

      Yeah… That type of brainwashing is so commonplace now though. Just look at how the US is treating striking dock workers, people keep talking about how they make xxx,xxx and not how the ceos make xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx like it’s the workers being greedy… 🥲

        Don’t “now” that shit; the US has always treated striking workers like shit, which is the reason workers need to strike in the first place.

          You’re just a bundle of joy. Bet people like having you around at parties.

            I’m actually a blast at parties, mostly because I don’t get into politics at a party unless some jackass is being loud with his bigotry.

            I also know how to breathe fire, that’s usually a big hit

    Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

    Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

    Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

    Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

    Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

    “war is people that know each other but don’t kill each other making people that don’t know each other, kill each other”

    I can’t remember the author, but i love this old quote
