you know, just from an argumentative and logical stand point the "but, poor people in the US don't have any choice but joining the military to get healthcare/college education/other benefits" kind of contradicts the "but, US citizens don't benefit from imperialism"

#im feeling stingy #and here's an outlet for those feelings #im just so tired of seeing these same points being repeated over and over again #i can only blame the over individualistic approach most ppl have regarding politics #like yes of course i know there's poor people in the us lots of them at that yes i know about discrimination and lackluster infrastructure #but how about we sit down and think 4 a sec about how the very few wealth distribution you got going on depends on bombing asian countries #or how that very wealth itself comes directly or indirectly from bombing asian countries #like these countries being bombed/occupied/meddled with through lobby dont also have poverty discrimination and infraestructure issues #lot of terrain to cover here with this subject and yes its unfarthomably complex but pls im just so tired #it almost feels like the goal of all this discourse isnt to understand imperialism in the current historical context but to absolve oneself #this place is just like twitter in the end jhghjgjhg
