[kabaks]

I think its insane tbh that the US doesn’t have mandatory military service or the draft anymore and hasn’t for years & people still bend over backwards publicly to beg for empathy & forgiveness for their poor brother or father or coworker or whatever

[blackwoolncrown]

then they're like 'well it was the only way to afford a house!' like that's not literally admitting you can be bought to do imperialist horrors. You still consented, hoe!

[chasingtheskyline]

"Joining an exploitative and imperialist organization was the only way I could have financial security" is not consent, though.

The military preys on poor people. Not acknowledging that and framing it as "consent" is both bad theory and bad praxis.

[blackwoolncrown]

The military can prey on poor people AND people consented.

We're all sitting here renting bc we're too 'poor' to buy a home.

Someone rolls up and offers you the chance at a house in exchange for engaging in imperialism and maybe even killing people and you take it?

You decided that you deserved to be a homeowner and the price could be paid in other people's lives.

A lot of poor ppl don't make that choice. It's actually more relevant to talk about the military trying to get ppl at 18 if you wanted to gotcha us about this.

At the end of the day, tons of 'poor' ppl DON'T make this choice and inscription numbers are down bc it IS a choice. I'm not about to infantilize someone for deciding the imperial bait was worth the fucking hook.

[chasingtheskyline]

Is manufactured consent actually consent? If you coerce someone into doing something by lying to them about the needs and benefits of their actions, did they do it willingly?

Few veterans actually got what they were promised. We were also lied to frequently about the purpose of the war as defensive. It was bait. But consent was manufactured, and you can't ignore that without being highly reductive.

[blackwoolncrown]

"Few veterans actually got what they were promised"

Again. They were promised something few have, in exchange for WAR.

That they got rug pulled only goes to show 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes'.

I still believe vets deserve care and rights but the fact of the matter is, someone said "Hey do you want more money/property than the average person in exchange for helping us do a war?" and they said yes.

The benefits could have been a steak to a house to a million dollars. You're missing the point. The exchange on THEIR end was supporting a war machine and they thought that was worth it.

again, to gloss over that to suggest that it's just too easy to talk someone into this (when again, numbers are down bc loads of ppl keep not choosing it) is disingenuous as hell. Do you think all the other people saying 'no' are some kind of unusual christ figures?

[chasingtheskyline]

Do you not believe home ownership to be something that should be guaranteed by a country?

I'm not saying America doesn't have a massive inequality problem that enabled this to happen. They were sold a good deal. The lies people still tell about military operations in the Middle East fuel the story that continues to emerge in recruiting circles to manufacture consent.

None of these people were Christlike, or whatever the fuck. They committed murder. But they were coerced into thinking what they were doing was proportionate revenge to justify that murder. And they were promised something few have, but which many believe to be a right, to get there. Frequently they were promised it before they were 18.

[blackwoolncrown]

You are particularly thick in the empathy department so I'm going to try and spell this out for you...

People SHOULD have access to home ownership (but first let us remember this is all stolen land).

However, they currently don't have financial access to it. Most people rent, and fewer and fewer people have the means to remedy this because of our economic situation.

So in theory, you, your neighbors, your friends, your townfolk, they all rent.

Someone asks you 'do you want to have what no one around you has? I can give it to you, but you have to help me invade and control other countries and even kill people'.

And you decided that you, yourself, personally, should have access to what is clearly systemically restricted for the low low price of war. That was a fair price to get out ahead of everyone else. That's the answer you decided on.

I don't know what family member you're trying to rationalize for but at the end of the day actions have consequences.

If someone talked you into imperial violence for a golden goose I'm still going to point out that you said a golden goose was a fair exchange for imperialism and your sword in a war.

If you're big enough to be a soldier for a house you're big enough to withstand fucking criticism and moral consequences.

[blackwoolncrown]

@chasingtheskyline

Addition: You're admittedly white so I really don't think you're going to get this soon, nor am I interested in investing any further energy into a person from a group of people who have systematically sought so consistently to rationalize mindless violence while upholding a concept of inherent innocence. Best of luck with your life. Blocked.

[icedsodapop]

It's frustrating whenever White American leftists pull out the whole sob story of the US military targeting poor people, becos so what? Poor Americans who signed up for the military still made an active choice to displace and harm poor Black and Brown pple overseas for money. They are still class traitors and a boot is still a fucking boot.

Also, most Americans who sign up for the military are middle-class. The whole "pple who join the American military are mostly forced to join becos of poverty" is literally a myth becos it allows Americans to not have to contend with what the US military actually does overseas and why most American servicepple wanted to sign up for the military in the first place:

Demographics of the U.S. Military

Fun fact: Cheetahs only attack prey that runs

[youwinagainmoffat-blog]

jesus that is good to know.

[chandra75-deactivated20180905]

Yup, that’s the point you just stay still and let it do whatever the fuck it wants that doesn’t involved you getting eaten. 

[magehenry-moved-blog]

REALLY FUN FACT for big cats cheetahs are fucking docile as shit

my grandfather ran a cheetah sanctuary in south africa and he’d just lie with them and sleep among them and they’d rub against him and chirp at him they’re big fucking babies

[pkmnbreederbrianna]

Another Fun Fact: Cheetahs are incredibly nervous animals. One of the (many) reason’s they’re going extinct is that cheetahs are so sensitive and nervous, some of them are literally too nervous to breed. Others will breed, but stress themselves out so much, they’ll lose their cubs. So zoos with breeding programs had to figure out how to make cheetahs comfortable enough to first of all, get laid and secondly - not spazz themselves into miscarrying. So what’d they do? They gave the cheetah’s their very own Service Dogs! The dogs make them feel safe, protected and secure!

so THATS why these cheetah ft dogo pics exist

[erin-luci-and-me]

the anxiety cat

[peppermint-madness]

Also! Cheetahs are not in fact classified as big cats, they are simply very large lesser cats, due to the fact that they purr, meow, chirp, and cannot roar. Also many cheetahs have learned to recognize wildlife photographers are friends and not foes, so they will just come up to people and be friendly occasionally as pictured at the top of the chain. Some will even leave their Cubs with photographers to look after while they hunt. So. Yeah. Cheetahs are great

[elfwreck]

[bunjywunjy]

this works because cheetahs are actually fairly social animals, and they look to members of their group for context on how worried they should be about any given Situation. but since cheetahs are also nervous social animals, they can work each other into an anxiety spiral pretty easily over things like “being in an enclosed habitat” and “there’s a guy over there”.

so by introducing a dog as a member of the group, the cheetahs will now look to the dog for context clues on how worried they should be! and the dog Is Not Worried At All, Thanks, so the cheetahs think everything must be chill even if they were personally unsure about it, and they stop being so freaked out about literally everything.

[june-egbert-official]

Cheetah: oh god what’s going on how are we feeling weird spotless cheetah

Dog: :) fine, thanks

Cheetah: :) oh, okay
