Service guarantees citizenship. That's exactly what I've been saying. Merc hit the nail on the head. And you know what? It might be an interesting plot element for a book and a shitty film adaptation, but in reality? It's a garbage system

I get the military industrial complex always needa meat for the grinder. So why wouldnt they have a hand in raising the price of college to coerce some fresh recruits?

^

Ok, but I really do love starship troopers

damn okay now we getting into some deep shit. But why is that Capitalism's fault rather than the fed?

Because the corporations are the ones causing it

but you just said the military was doing it to get more soldiers

If not the government being their tool, they'll use something else to do so

ah

wait

so it's the state's fault?

The military is just the place the kids go

Ok, MIC. We got that. So reduce governments and reduce corprotism, without hurting tje free market

No, it's the corporations and the businesses and the colleges themselves

The state is just one of numerous different tools that is used to manipulate the system

screw colleges themselves

couldn't you say exactly the same thing, the other way around?

You're talking in circles my dude. Take a minute for me and run trough the blame game so we can hammer out a solution

I'd love to take that attitude but I'm destitute and can't afford that

aren't corporations just the tools that the government uses to manipulate us?

No, the corporations are the ones at fault here

there's no way we're gonna hammer out a solution lol

this is just for fun

Because the state has existed long before corporations. The way I see it its a mutual benificial relationship.

and harmful, for that matter

Well yeah, at least for us peasants

They corporations outsourced the jobs. The colleges hiked their tuition, the government benefits because they'll always have more of the poor and the unfortunate sons to go die in the next war for nothing... well... correction, we'll die for oil

But at the end of the day the government isn't the one REALLY benefiting

didn't the gov't establish working laws that forced the corps to outsource?

Ok, but why the outsourcing? Because of govt interference stemming from FDR and the depression

you can go back and back and back all the way

both are at fault lol

All his ABC agencies were a bandaid on a septic wound

Darkness gets it

It's the corporations; the defense contractors make money off of endless wars, the manufacturers make money off of outsourced jobs in places like China, the colleges make money off people like you who are willing to go into massive debt just to have a shot if they can afford it. The government is just one aspect of a much larger profit web.

The only reason our economy bounced back was because of war profiteering. After that boom, thing receeded back to how they were. Festering

Trump boomer make me wanna commit self end

^

my dude, do you not understand that these same accusations can be thrown the other way too? Gov't starts the wars, gov't subsidized colleges, etc

truth @One Shot Paddy

@One Shot Paddy pretty much yeah
