Trying to convince an old friend not to join up to do IT for the army. This is what liberalism/being “apolitical” gets you - someone that is told about SYSTEMIC war crimes and responds “there’s corruption in any industry” (tacit admission of the military industrial complex btw).

“Obviously I don’t condone or support that”.... I just wanna become part of it?

The worst part about being a leftist is seeing people you’ve always liked and respected become part of the system you loathe - or realising they’ve always been part of it, in some cases.

      i get it, but neoliberalism and fascist activities do happen of any big imperialism doesnt mean i support or condone anything.

      like, i get it, we all want to not die, but murdering children for the profit of others probably steers too far into being the baddie for most? id hope?

      narrator: it did not.
