To act as if you are better than some kid who gets tricked into rolling around in a Humvee shooting people they’ve never met
You might get tricked into the Humvee but no one's making them pull the trigger. It's kind of troubling to read that. Sure the material reality puts people in situations but it isn't fate.
Sure. Pulling the trigger is a reprehensible and unforgivable act. Have you ever done anything you regret as a result of capitalist propaganda? I have. Understanding that feeling is key to understanding how things got like this. They just got sucked in deeper and emotionally mutilated more thoroughly than you or I. We were raised in a way that put our uncrossable line before pulling the trigger, they were raised in a way that put their uncrossable line after pulling the trigger.
We agree that neither you nor I would pull that trigger (at least I hope you believe that about me; I believe that about you). Why wouldn't we do it but they would? Are we made from better stuff? Or did something happen differently between us and them?
