Army recruiters should be shunned at best.

Somebody made a meme about them in my city and got arrested. Freiburg, Germany btw not a “military state”
Agree
Fuck Will Smith.
Kinda telling on yourself with this. Nothing about this looks like Will Smith
No. But everything about it looked like Chris Rock. Is my slip showing?
I’m American and pro NATO so I don’t like it.
Why are you pro-NATO? NATO is similar to the Iron Dome, it’s “defensive” of an actively imperialist hegemony. Spearheaded by the US Empire, NATO countries are all guilty of plundering the global south of the surplus value they create, through financial domination and overt millitary action. Western IMF loans require austerity or a concession of sovereignty, and in this process the global north gets extremely wealthy at the expense of the global south. NATO’s role is to protect this process of expropriation.
Not sure why you’re getting down voted, this is pretty accurate
My assumption is that it’s mainly from Europeans that don’t believe they are actually imperialist. Most are aware of how bad the US Empire is, but Europeans act like they aren’t complicit vassals. Though, they do seem to be getting demoted to periphery, hence Starmer’s warming relations with the PRC in the last few weeks.
Europeans forget they participated in MNF-I in Iraq and ISAF in Afghanistan, as well as the Unified Protector mission in Libya.
Yep, and they also seem to forget that the death of old-style colonialism doesn’t mean that they aren’t still super-exploiting the global south with imperialism and neocolonialism.
Tangentially, wrt reading the articles wrt Korean voting, do you know if Hussein’s Ba’athist party was still socialist, in name and practice?
The ba’athists were nationalists with some degree of social programs, but was not socialist in name nor practice. A bit of a deep dive, Blowback’s first season does a pretty good intro of it.
Well put. Ty for educating folks.
Thank you! I try to foster an environment where we can all engage in collective education dialectically, from a Marxist-Leninist perspective!

The US Empire is currently using its millitary to plunder the world, and protect the imperial core from retribution from the global south. It needs to die, ideally by being overthrown from within.
The imperial boomerang is proving this an impossible balance to find. Welcome to the imperial core, where all the mil-tech testing we’ve done on the rest of the world is finally being turned around and pointed at citizens.
Discourage who? The fishes in the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean?
All the nations they have terrorized, bombed and stolen from.
💯
I tend to like the fact the US has a military strong enough to discourage anyone from invading/killing/raping everyone.
High probability of the people who wants to do that is seeking revenge, so it’s the military fault anyway.

Lots of developing countries have shit militaries and we don’t have a big problem of being invaded relentlessly by evil people. You’re the baddies.
Sorry, can you stop deepthroating that boot, I can’t understand why you.
