    Not everyone is going to come the same conclusions as you, ive also met a lot of people who say theyre poor but grew up in a rich area so they still got the benefits of a good public school and a healthy community, none of this is black and white

    I dont get how you can grow up with other poor people, know them and judge their decisions all the while being knowledgable of capitalist critique. It makes me suspicious.

        The military doesnt sell it as killing people. Its defending your country and vague romanticized notions. This is the disconnect I get, can you really not take off the lefty lens for just a second? Most people don't have that kind of analysis even as adults.

          People are really constantly going, "I'm built different, I would simply never get caught up in a big lie, because I'm a good person. Anyone who does anything bad does it because they're inferior ethical beings, an intrinsic and inextricable quality."

            Love to simply helplessly get "caught up" in a "big lie" that coincidentally also promises economic benefits to me if I follow along with it without challenging it.

            There's no connection between my apparent lack of agency and insight and the fact that it personally benefits me.

            (This is not to suggest that propaganda or indoctrination plays 0 part in this, but that theres a direct incentive to buy into this, and that both the big lie itself and the concept of the big lie provides an excuse and license to do so.)

              Im actually built different from all other poor people, theres no path, set of circumstances or situation possible for me where I joined the military. Also being poor is actually a choice, if you stay poor it's 100% your fault
