Are they purposely doing this bumbling moron shit as an op to make it look like libs are setting them up? I don't get it. Is this just what fascism looks like in an idiocracy? And if that's true, how are we losing to these people?

    Lol I know, I just couldn't resist making a stupid joke about it.

    On the topic of brainwashing and basic training, have y'all watched Gwynne Dyer's documentary "War"? The second episode is about the technology of producing soldiers and a must watch IMHO. I think I might post it in c/videos, actually.

        Dyer's book "War" was one of the things that helped me clarify and solidify my anti-war stance back when I was a lib. I've since seen how all this is fundamentally lacking with out a historical materialist understanding of power, imperialism, andncapitalism of course. But it is still an interesting read/watch.

          that's cool. myself and the people i still associate with lived through it.

          there's some things about having the experience yourself too that can't be explained by some scholarly source too. i don't really like having back and forth with chapo's about it, my fault for baiting myself into it. military bad tho ferrsure
