There is no number of foreigners that is unacceptable to sacrifice for a middle class livelihood. Anti-cop because they can imagine a scenario where a cop inconveniences them. These principles don't apply to the Waffen SS because they can't imagine a soldier personally inconveniencing them and, of course, foreigners aren't really humans.

    Which makes sense. People join the military because they think they’re “Serving their country” and doing something good. Really poor people have no desire to do that since this country has only ever fucked them over.

      I don’t think that’s necessarily true. A lot of people really do join for selfish reasons and ‘survival,’ but it seems like a lot of people do not even think the benefits are worth it these days because of all the warmongering and you know, seeing homeless vets on the streets.

        I dont believe that no matter how bad things are in america there are "a lot" of people that go to the military because the choice is "enlist or not survive(or struggle greaty for it)". Especially true the further back you go. The choice almost never is between army and starving. Its between army and a sucky to very sucky job (that will still allow you better living conditions than the people you will opress and help kill and emiserate while in the army.
