While i fully agree. What scares me the most is that representation within military and police is incredibly important in context to how those groups get treated.
They’re turning everything in a Ignorant fraternity, and we all know the kind of ideology that will be seeded on those groups.
That is a very good point, and I agree. I think I'm past the point where I even count The Army as a potential ally for anything progressive, quite the contrary.
I mean, we've been seeing the dynamics already with Police forces (not saying everyone, but enough to tilt the scales the wrong way), and history pretty much says that, with very few exceptions, mechanisms of the State usually fall in line with whoever is the head of said State.
This is not to say that I lump everyone participating in said mechanisms of the State in the same pot, I know (and hope) that there are individual people who are still sane and doing their best. But the mechanisms/institutions themselves (referring to the concrete contemporary bodies and structures) are so far outside my standards for allocating trust that it's not even funny.
