    “This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

    Wonder how someone class conscious like this ended up in the US military.

      Tbh the military can often have the effect of beating class consciousness into you. Also not everyone who joins does so for imperalist reasons but because they need a job and education that the military can provide.

        Yeap, a lot of some of the best leftist organizers I know are prior military personnel. Most join before they have any kind of conceptual understanding of class consciousness. But there’s not really a better radicalizing process than being discharged from the military, especially if it’s because of an acquired disability.

      Decent chance that having been in the military is why they’re so class conscious

      Some people stuck in the lower class try to use the military as a means of getting out.

    The same media then proceeds to spread pro-israel propaganda that is often easily debunked with 1 translation or just basic fact-checking.

    No surprises there

      That’s because the media purposefully smooches government ass so that, if for no other reason, they don’t get cut out of the loop. The government can just not tell them stuff if they want and it’s perfectly legal. It sucks and is stupid but the constitution is obsolete and needs major freedom, fairness, and liberty reinforcing.
