They do realize if WW3 does happen they will be drafted, right? Like, they’re frothing at the mouth for it but I don’t think they know they themselves will be fed into the war machine.
It’s always everyone else that will be affected. Never them. This is what individualism has done to them. They have no concept of being part of society. They are separated from it and the only way to get through to them that they are all part of the same society is to bash them in the head with it.
It’s just so hard to empathize with such a narrow point of view. These people are too old to lack such critical awareness that other human beings roam this earth with full lives and dreams. I just don’t get it. I don’t think I will ever understand redditors…
As long as they can continue to live relatively cushy lives, they’ll keep having this “fuck you, got mine” attitude while espousing their so called virtues
In the early days of WWI soldiers were leaving for the front, cheering from festively decorated railway cars. They would go and win glory and prove their manhood at the battlefield and they would all be home by Christmas.
I keep thinking things will be different. But after so many wars, truly nothing has changed. They’ll only begin to regret pushing for WW3 once they’re drafted, and even then I doubt it’ll really do much to sway their opinion. They probably won’t change until they see their buddies blown to bits in front of their eyes.
It’s like being a monarchist who works in retail. They think they’ll be king when their revolution happens, completely oblivious to their predetermined role as serf.
usians have this vision of a war that it is like going safari with the boys, going to some shitgole to shot some <third worlder racial slur>, crack open a cold one and have a bbq + manifest destiny that they are god’s unmatched army and they win easily and doesn’t cross their minds that war can happen in the home land, always on the attack.

We are not a single bit smarter today.

This kind of explains my step dad’s mentality with his whole anti-union shtick.

Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two…
You’d think they’d have figured out they’re not invincible after getting one paper cut, but I guess not.
