Imagine having to pay respect to troops who sign up to kill people in the global south to plunder their resources.

I've seen this study, every leftie jumps on this in lieu of having any first hand experience. Which is incredibly frustrating watching people pass around the same source, many not even reading it.

Im skeptical of this study because it doesn't account for COL, 65K household isn't shit in many cities.

Also, iirc it doesnt talk about the machine eating itself and producing too many unhealthy dumbdumbs to even cannibalize.

Either or not you dismiss the study, I've had personal experiences and beyond being a security risk they're imperial stormtroopers who signed up to kill, incentive or not. I'd have more respect for someone joining the foreign legion than the U.S military. Or joining a volunteer organization that actually benefits people instead of killing for the Empire.

You can have your doubts, opinions, etc. In the same regard, don't be surprised if people, like my friend who lost family in Lebanon, have reason to hate the Empire and their dogs.
