      Sometimes people don’t know any better and have been brainwashed. Sometimes they aren’t murderous imperial trash.

      But, goons make the agenda go 'round, and goons are the worst.

      It’s complicated. I see both perspectives here. And it really is a case of we are all victims of our own evil culture. I used to defend the soldier whilst condemn the capitalist imperialism. But, as I grow wiser, that doesn’t quite resolve the reality of it all. We need to fix public education. And, getting rid of DEI is an actual disaster.

        If you arm people you’ve forced against their will. They will eventually turn their guns back on their masters.

        This isn’t forced and it wouldn’t be if people had a spine.

          Easy to say sitting in your comfy arm chair. The russian revolution was hell that you could never imagine.
