@Zara_Yaqob@_Shovel__@BadEmpanada Nope, not at all. This isn't the own you thought it was.
It's possible to have empathy for both, but that's too much nuance for you I guess.
@IL2SturmovikAce @BadEmpanada Yep, we don't disagree. You're just coming from a place of emotion. The material reality is that disenfranchised troops and veterans will be necessary for any uprisings success in the imperial core
@IL2SturmovikAce @BadEmpanada A lot of the troops feel great shame, most are disillusioned with capitalism.
This is the issue with you and leftists, you see the army as a singular bloc of mindless killers. Such a small portion of soldiers see combat and an even smaller amount commit war crimes for fun
@Zara_Yaqob@_Shovel__@BadEmpanada Yep, sorry you have no empathy ๐ข
Am I sad when they receive justice? No, but the organization that hired them takes the moral responsibility
@_Shovel__@BadEmpanada Objectively, you're right. But we live in real life and you have to understand that people just trying to survive have been coerced into unethical positions.
@_Shovel__@BadEmpanada No but think about yourself. Do you buy products? You're complicit in the exploitation of the global south. Easy to shit on the troops but if I were in that McDonald's vs army situation I'd choose the army, McDonald's workers are braver.
