You know like when you're stroking a cat and it suddenly decides it doesn't want to be stroked anymore and it scratches you? How do we harvest the revolutionary potential of that?

    Union capitalists were selling literal garbage at premium prices to their army. Fun fact, the term “shoddy” was actually the name of a type of wool that was so bad it would fall apart after the slightest wear, and was so common in the union army that anything poorly made came to be known as shoddy.

    Some things never change. The amount of garbage soldiers are fed as a form of war profiteering is kinda hilarious. Remember in 2002-2006 soldiers were basically riding around in humvees, the equivalent of a can of sardines with wheels.
