Seeing people decide to watch Breaking Bad based on the Tumblr memes is especially funny when they do it specifically for the memes about Jesse, because... well, let's put it this way. Aaron Paul, the guy who played Jesse, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy award for best supporting actor in a drama series for his work on Breaking Bad on five separate occasions, including twice in one season, and won three of those nominations. He was the first person ever to win that award three times for the same role. Like, Jesse's storyline is so viscerally unpleasant that it set industry records.

Jesse Pinkman is basically the prototypical Poor Little Meow Meow in that yes, he does objectively terrible things, but literally everything about his life seems calculated to maximise his suffering while he's doing it. It gets so bad that the show's producers ended up making an entire spin-off movie about Jesse in which he kills two men in order to obtain money to purchase a fake identity and go into exile in Alaska, and this is framed as his happy ending.

Haruhi fujioka really is the character ever. Going by any pronouns in 2006. Big beautiful brown eyes like a baby cow. Constant deadpan delivery. Getting bitches constantly. Reacts to romantic advances with a thousand-yard goldfish stare. Perfect flawless protagonist 10/10

I think one of the most frustrating things for me in the current genocidal campaign on Gaza is that everyone who says genocide bad is now an antisemite (even if you yourself are Jewish) and all the politicians and countries that normally couldn’t give less of a fuck about Jewish people are now all of a sudden the biggest allies. There was a standing ovation for a Nazi at political event with Trudeau present and all the media could do is say “oh it’s complicated” at best and “he’s a Canadian hero” at worse

Like it’s so transparent that so many people still see Israel as the solution to the “Jewish problem” and only should be supported so they don’t have to care for their Jewish populations in their country. Meanwhile the far right continues to gain political ground and Nazi march openly in the street.

Hey. You. The American teenager inexplicably reading this. Don't join the US military. You're better than that. The military is a bunch of cops. Are they technically diverse and inclusive? On some level, kind of, almost. But their job is to kill people. They kill innocent people every day. They abuse their own members, especially their members who aren't white cis het middle class Christian men. The US exists through perpetual violence against the global working class, including its own working class. The military is how it carries out a large portion of that violence. You deserve better. You're better than that. Don't join.

[johnbrownfunclubofficial]

Ton of people in the notes listing off the ways military veterans suffer. Sure, fine, most of that's true, a lot of it is very common, some of it is nearly universal. But i want to re-emphasize my main point: the enlisting-age people reading this are MORALLY SUPERIOR TO KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE AND SHOULD ACT ACCORDINGLY.

I wanna take a moment to speak directly to the kind of person who*wants* to enlist, the self-described patriots. Consider the following:

1: it is a fact that US military intelligence gathering is imperfect

2: it is a fact that US military intelligence analysis is imperfect

3: it is a fact that military personnel are regularly ordered to carry out airstrikes, drone strikes, artillery and mortar strikes, and raids based on bad intel or bad analysis.

4: it is a fact that innocent people, including children, die because of these imperfections.

5: it is a fact that working-class Americans in no way benefit from these deaths. No one benefits from these deaths.

6: it is a fact that working-class Americans don't benefit from the deaths of enemy combatants, either. Does some ISIS fascist shitstain deserve to taste an Abrams tread? Yeah, he deserves that. But the US is largely responsible for turning him into an ISIS fighter and creating the socioeconomic conditions that made the war he's fighting happen. And the American people are not made safer when Uncle Sam introduces him to the afterlife. The civilians around him are not made safer by the drone strike that kills him because they'll probably die in the explosion too. The US going around killing people, even "objectively bad" people, is the pot calling the kettle dirty.

7: it is a fact that, even if you never deploy or directly support combat missions, you will be partially responsible for this and other forms of violence.

The US military is a morally abhorrent organization. To join is to sell your soul to the Devil, almost literally. You. Are. Better. Than. That.

I'm gonna air my dirty laundry a bit and tell y'all two things i seen in Kuwait.

I seen drones take off loaded with missiles and land empty, and i seen men with guns standing guard over working folks in a way that's almost reminiscent of plantations in the Antebellum South.

Kuwait ain't a combat zone, hasn't been since the '90s. I didn't carry a rifle. I had it easy, as far as working conditions and living conditions in a deployed environment are concerned. But i was there, helping an airbase stay in operation as armed drones flew sorties and loaded cargo planes moved war materiel and combat personnel into the actual combat zones. Infantry who died while deployed passed through that airbase while i was there. War criminal officers passed through that airbase while I was there. Artillery guns that killed civilians passed through that airbase while I was there. I didn't hold the knife, as it were, but i got blood on my hands anyway. If you hate me because of this, welcome to the fucking club, I'll be the first to tell you i deserve your hate.

Unrelated to the wars, there was the Third Country Nationals working on base. There was the Kuwaiti Royal Family/Kuwaiti national government treatment of its massive migrant workforce.

Nations hosting the US military such as Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and others often rely on or just simply have migrant populations. Corporations dealing with host nation governments and the US military often employ these Third Country Nationals (TCNs). In the case of Kuwait specifically, a very large number of Indian and Filipino men basically keep Kuwait's economy in the black.

US military policy is to appoint armed troops to watch these TCNs while they work on base. A dozen dirt poor Indian men getting paid a pittance for construction work in 110° F (35°C i think?) heat while an armed American man watches everything they do with suspicion is not an uncommon site on Kuwaiti military bases. Maybe I'm seeing parallels that aren't there but it looked a helluva lot like paintings of white men on horseback watching cotton fields in Georgia to me.

Outside the bases, the migrant labor forces do basically 100% of the work necessary to keeping Kuwait running. The US economic and military agreements with Kuwait keep the Kuwaiti Royal Family in power and help to maintain this capitalist exploitation of the Global South. The US military acts as armed muscle, to some degree.

You're better than doing this shit. Be better than me. Be smarter than me. The correct response to this story is to think I'm a dipshit and a pig. The US doesn't deserve your labor and your time and your smarts and your soul. Don't enlist, and don't become an officer if that career path is open to you. Just stay away.
