    Surviving is when you go work for or McDonalds or Uber not kill brown children. Such a pathetic excuse for mass murder. As if these people had no other option. In reality becoming a mercenary mass-murderer is just a bit more lucrative than flipping burgers.

      Spoken like someone who’s never truly known desperation or genuine hunger. ie. One of the bourgeoisie who’d be first against the wall.

          No, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy in you pretending to know what it is to be desperate, that you can judge others in such a position.

          I ain’t justifying diddly squat.

          Edit: For clarification, watching the fall of the American empire in real time is both amusing and enlightening. Hopefully, it happens fast enough that I get to see the end result.

            I had the option to join the military and chose homelessness. It’s actually really easy to do the right thing even when you’re desperate.

              Would that choice have been as easy if you had your own children to consider? Would it have been so easy to make your own children and spouse homeless too?

              The point is everyone is susceptible given the right circumstances. The system is literally designed to create desperation, and to keep ratcheting that up until people relent.

              By all means try and convince people not to give in. Support them and help them, try to ensure they don’t reach their breaking point. But don’t try and pretend that desperation to escape their given shitshow isn’t what drives a lot of recruitment.
