Back in my day, comedy was more than just laughter at those who you disagree with.
Here, ridicule can get in the way of unity.
It is safer to travel the road with others while you can, even if the destinations of others vary.

Do you have a counterpoint, friend? Or is the whole of your discourse based on strawmen?
If you really have been posting on the internet since 2001, and this is all you have learned, maybe you have wasted your time.
Ridicule is nigger tier discourse tbh fam
Sad when it gets down to that level.
Why are Americans et al. so hysterical about terrorism? Do they just enjoy the drama and playing the victim?
Same principal applies to Western Europeans.
I don't think like most Americans nor do I surround myself with those who think like most Americans
Why is modern Western psychology obsessed with irrational threats?
Whoever gains from these talking points about terrorism, personally, emotionally or politically, has a special kind of neurosis.
They play our soldiers' Involvement with fighting terrorism off as what keeps us in "democracy" and out of Sharia
Can you reduce this to ideological indoctrination? If so, it is indeed very powerful device for social control.
Yes
They always talk about them protecting our freedom
Ha! In that case we should have soldiers posted around sharp objects, to protect our freedoms from their tyranny.
America has a consumer culture
It is clear the army nowdays exists against ideas and not material threats.
Which is a very strange thing.
its not too strange
ideas have always been enforced or opposed by martial means
Do you believe that these armies are the instruments of the ruling class?
Which explains the war on ideas.
Yes
A state is the tool of the oppression of one class
@Deleted User Do you agree with this?
Be it proles or bourgeois
not necessarily
what i would agree with is that they belong to powerful individuals
not simply an entire class of people
Well even with the individuals they tend to cater to a certain class
I think that the definition of a private army means that those with the most private goods stand to benefit the most from an environment that uses martial force.
yes, however, that does not always have to be the (ruling) class
which is why i didn't give a decisive answer
It generally varies based on state
You can't draw a solid conclusion that covers all states
