    Yep, but I’ve heard similar bullshit like the PLA having mandatory suicide helmets and whatnot, so at this point I’m not even surprised by it.

      I feel sad for people like this honestly. Not knowing how bad it truly is for them since they have an imagined untermensch to punch down on.

        That’s how cultural hegemony is maintained in the imperial core, after all. Can’t have a successful alternative or the whole thing crumbles.
