All of them said: "forgive me for my sins Allah"

Republicans favourite people are unborn babies and dead soldiers for this exact reason

All of them said very strongly: "oof ouch i got got owie my body"

US senators are already using “don’t let them die in vain” as an argument for funneling more billions to Raytheon shareholders

I really do not understand the mindset of these ghouls. It is so utterly alien to me how they behave, probably why it's easier to describe them as ghouls rather than people, since they behave more like a monster wearing human skin as a disguise.

I heard one of the soldiers said "death to amerikkka communism will win I have found the light of allah" right before they died

I heard them all say that, and frankly my credibility is much greater than Trump's.

They also all said they wanted their spouses to move on and be happy with me in particular

They died for and

I'm pretty sure they said, "Hey, what's that?" and then they got clapped

why isn't Iran allowed to have sovereignty

"Does Iran have a right to exist?"

  • entitled wall street fund managers misses out on their potential oil profits

  • Because they are the only major resistance to the terrorists supported by Saudia Arabia, UK, US, Zionazis, and Pissreal to enact the Greater Piss and Shit plan to take over the region.

  • The superme crime of a nation whose resources goes to the people to enhance their quality of life is unacceptable to wall street. Their worst nightmare is Americans waking up, seeing better things are possible, and asking "if they can do it when they are much lesser than us, then why can't we do that and better?"

Be afraid of cummunism.

If they didn't agree with that then they wouldn't have signed up to be troops in the big 2026.

Let's steer clear of the Clean DoW Theory.

What is the theory about?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_clean_Wehrmacht

stop discussing wether the troops are good or not. just yield to the positively satirical image of dying soldiers saying, in unison, that 'we must save the world from iranian nukes'

if kelly made that comic we'd all call him a hack

Being a stupid fucking idiot teenager isnt plausible?

The only people i dont feel bad for are any of the soldiers who are second contract, you should have figured it out by then

teenagers in the global south are murdered by them for much less stupid mistakes, or even no mistakes at all. the double standard is always evident, first worlders get infinite grace

Youre all still wrong, different material circumstances. If you were this girl, youd make the same mistakes. Thinking otherwise is firmly wrong.

true of hitler too

Yes, but thats a thought terminating cliche. Does 19 year old dumbdumb have the same weight as 56 year old Hitler?

If you're in a gang in the US and you kill someone I guess you deserve life in jail/death. This is how we think here, abrahamic punishment not like Marxists.

Were actually pro prison industry here because these damn criminals need to be in jail and be punished. Not rehabilitated.

You are drowning in moralism

No I think you guys lack life experience and overzealous.

If anyones oversimplifying to good and evil its you guys

If a stupid fucking idiot teenager kills someone while robbing a convenience store, they go to prison.

But if a stupid fucking idiot teenager kills someone while robbing an entire country, they get a medal.

Youre all still wrong, different material circumstances. If you were this girl, youd make the same mistakes. Thinking otherwise is firmly wrong.

Those are two different things, going to Jordan and being told you'll just drive trucks and get free college

Is not the same as murdering someone for like $300.

If you were this girl, you would absolutely be that girl not whatever you are right now. You would not magically be more moral or ethical or knowledgeable.

Oh right, there's no free will, if you are poor you will become a murdeorus dog and we have to feel pity for the murderous dogs because there's no free will, gotcha

You sound like a republican right now, that thug gangster should be locked away for life for robbing that gas station right?

I'd respect her death if she had died robbing a gas station, not if she was refueling the planes that bomb hospitals.

Its just about how you feel honestly. I dont think your line of thinking is consistent.

Are people victims of material circumstance or not? Do people get deluded by the environments forced on them by capitalists or not?

It kind of sounds like you expect people to fall into a good vs evil binary and that you couldn't have possibly be a evil-doer because you are innately something. Which in my opinion, is not how a Marxist would think.

Don't get me wrong. Fuck the troops, fuck the wars but if we're talking about building consciousness I don't think your way works and is even counter productive.

Being a stupid fucking idiot teenager isnt plausible?

there's no amount of stupid that excuses seeing anything from the last 25 years and signing up anyway.

Disagree entirely, do you not know normal people or is it all bougie white people with nice parents? Youd make the same decisions as her if you were this girl, thinking youd somehow be different seems antithetical to marxism

Meme cos no response and a square is a square.

i don't understand what you're talking about. the emote has more understandable content than your comments

You would make the same decisions she made if you were her and thinking otherwise is magical thinking. You're only who you are right now because of material circumstances.

Do you also think that people who are in gangs and commit crimes are also animals? Or victims of circumstance? Or is it both?

I don't think people here are consistent on their views and are actually in favor abrahamic american style punishment when it comes down to it.

I mean yeah everything exists in degrees, but anyone canny enough to make an informed decision about joining would've had a formative experience of noticing the absolute failure in Afghanistan, the culmination of 20 years of the GWOT, and then thinking "you know what, we just need to send more people out there".

Or maybe not at all?

I just dont understand how can you think like this unless you lived a very sheltered life and havent met many different types of people

Being a stupid (adult)teenager doesn't protect you from the consequences of your actions

No doubt but this line of thinking that you couldn't possibly made the decisions as her is stupid. You guys sound like republicans.

US imperial troops deserve any reprecussion they encounter as long as they joined as adults

'You guys sound like republicans.'

Sure, but i think the gradient of punishment and level of forgiveness extended should correlate with who they are, where they are from, how they came up, why they joined, etc.

Not everyone gets to be born white with nice parents, you guys take that for granted. If you were born this girl you wouldnt be magically more ethical, more morally sound or more intelligent than her.

"There but for the grace of god go we"

Evil do be banal eh

insert quote by Hitler's secretary after seeing a memorial to Sophie Scholl

I wasn't aware of this quote so I went looking:

Of course, the terrible things I heard from the Nuremberg Trials, about the six million Jews and the people from other races who were killed, were facts that shocked me deeply. But I wasn't able to see the connection with my own past. I was satisfied that I wasn't personally to blame and that I hadn't known about those things. I wasn't aware of the extent. But one day I went past the memorial plaque which had been put up for Sophie Scholl in Franz Josef Strasse, and I saw that she was born the same year as me, and she was executed the same year I started working for Hitler. And at that moment I actually sensed that it was no excuse to be young, and that it would have been possible to find things out.

I’m sure that 19 year old from Texas said this all the time. Very believable.

The entire point of my newest novel, the first one with a moral to it, is that you can't just do that.

And he just does that

What fuck

Ah well, nevertheless

I'm starting to think this whole "America" business is bad news. But it's like, what if it's not just Mango Mussolini? He didn't just fall out of a coconut tree, right? What's all this about?

He fell out of a mango tree.

Im sure sub 50 asvab 19 year old really knew anything about iran at all

I sometimes think of when I took the asvab in high school and a classmate got a 7. Fucking 7.

He's a marine now, go figure.

That's what I'm saying, do you think the guy who can't solve simple logic puzzles to see if you can fix trucks can untie the truth of the Iraq War or US imperialism? No probably not honestly.

The seven doesnt even necessarily mean stupid sometimes its a complex failure by the US government. Ive met people in the US, younger than me, who were functionally illiterate or actually illiterate. We live in a very stupid place.

im laughing like a crazy person
