If you study the successful rebellions and resistance and civil rights movements of the past, you will note that βpeople who spend their time publicly bumming out everyone around them by emphasizing how totally fucked everything isβ do not play a central role, or indeed, any role at all

This represents such a facile and shallow understanding of the military that I don't even know where to start. But I suppose a good start is that the majority of troops signed up when they were kids, often believing the lies they were told about what it would be like to be in service.

Tapping the sign AGAIN. Asking people repeatedly for alt text just adds MORE CLUTTER for visually-impaired users to wade through, and does NOTHING to help them access the fucking content. Do it yourself rather than being a fucking cop.
