Mad? No, but will I point out that the US military/every military spends ungodly sums of money on propaganda whether it be movies or video games or books or art to get dumb young men to join. Do I blame people for being propagandized from birth? No. Does that excuse the people who joined just because they wanted to kill people? No. Do I think people are capable of change? Yes. Its not like there isn't plenty of military propaganda on this website.
How I feel rn: ๐ฎโ๐จ
I get that, but joining knowing full well you will probably kill someone or help others do that is still extremely fucked up, it wouldn't happen if they saw us (people in the global south) as humans equal to them
Yeah it is I'm not denying it, but as a person who has often experienced the urge to hurt people I can't pretend I'm some saint I just do everything I can to avoid that urge and the people and things that try to stir it up in me...
