I mean, yeah, but if they were anything like me in my situation they didn't know better. And I'm a firm believer that when people know better, they do better (at least among working class folks). I was wildly insulated from critical thinking, literally in a cult lite evangelical area.
I hope more for the destruction of the machines, internal infrastructure, and economic support of the military. That would of course be the death nail. But like you said, in the mean time... Fish food is fine.
I guess I feel for them in their ignorance because I can see so much of myself in them. And I try to be charitable to individuals, but hold a ruthless contempt for systems. I try to keep a sense of humility in all this, because I think any one of us could be like that if we were placed in the right material conditions, it's sad really. Then there's the kids just trying to escape poverty. Shits fucked up yo.
At the end of the day, what I'm saying is... Death to America.
but if they were anything like me in my situation they didn't know better.
sorry, but for all vets (you included tbh) not knowing better is not good enough for me. I think being ruthless to imperialists is the way. when a troop occupies a country, I stop caring why they've chosen to do that. the side that causes the destruction gets to explain and hand waive why they did it and I think that's wrong
Yeah, as someone is actively doing imperial violence, all bets are off. Like I said, I would have deserved to get got for being over there. I don't think it's an excuse, it's context of how the war machine consumes human souls and as fuel to take human lives and converters it into treats and slop. The better we understand these processes, the better we can apply pressure on every weak point.
I'm trying to keep a materialist analysis in mind, it's how we're going kill the beast.
