basically the reasons the doctor keep the arm was "I kept this guy's arm as a relic to tell myself I'm a good person!" like idk what to say

it wasn't even a 'people of color' thing back then, they specifically targeted communism and basically threw everyone in the same boat as the nazis.
i already acknowledged that you could take the cell, but some of those people had families and shit dude. like if you have children and have to support them and you going to jail means everyone in your household is ostracized and they'll actually lose their home, it blurs the lines a little bit. it's not always so simple as we make it out to be.
like you, i will, and boldly at that, say i would take the cell, but to simplify this shit to 'them all being pieces of shit' ignores the class war.
do you give the rich draft dodgers more points because they didn't go slaughter them? they didn't because they had a fucking choice and the draft didn't fuck with their livelihood. the government was basically like 'you do this or we will ruin your fucking life and your family.'
Also, a dishonorable discharge is (for most purposes) equivalent to a felony on your record.
And a felony fucks you over in a dozen different ways.
I give rich draft dodgers more points for not facilitating genocide. Badempanda had a good video on this
rich draft dodgers did facilitate genocide by participating in the class war in the first place. they always send the poor.
Yeah and the poor Americans supported the genocide by committing it
yeah, for sure, but you need to put an asterisk on that shit and explain the circumstances.
Because they hated communism and non white people
because they were poor and the government held their lives hostage.
They were willing to comply
yes, they were. and you can totally hold them morally to a fault there. i just don't think it's quite so black and white as 'they are all pieces of shit.'
