oof

We don't need *enlisted* members working 7-5 jobs pushing paperwork and processing paychecks, never having to touch a rifle in their whole career

Cenk needs to shut the fuck up

And get a plunger to pull his head out of his ass

Have the 'medically discharged' guys do those jobs

Or just say fuck it and replace the entire army with drones

Skynet ftw

Oh they're trying

Maybe invest in a supersoldier program

"*FIGHT!!!*"

Well forcing them to do it for free is slavery

But Cenk is fine with anything immoral as long as his side benefits from it

We’re talking about the guy who employs an Armenian woman and names his show after a genocidal regime

All the while spouting ignorant bullshit

No you don’t cause she’s better than you

In fact, much better

<:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

Even if you’re right

It makes you come off as a dick

It’s always better to stay humble and try to sway people’s hearts as well as their minds

You can be correct all the time but if you’re a huge asshole people won’t exactly be swayed to your side

A little empathy now and then doesn’t hurt

That’s also true

If the media tells them you’re an asshole

Depends on your experiences with said person

I think a lot of politicians are dicks, but they’re also often right

@Deleted User I know very few politicians that are 'right'

@Fitzydog on certain issues, I meant

Should’ve been more clear

This actually makes me think of something that happened a week ago in one of my uni classes

We were discussing the league of nations and there was this excerpt of a conference where there were like nine people

Eight of em white european guys and a japanese guy if i remember correctly

So the class gets into discussion about why the majority was white and the general consensus turned out to be that everyone was a racist

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

So I interjected and said it’s a given if the only nations where non white people reign are a minority

Since at the time you had the colonial european powers and japan as hegemonic powers

There were only 2 independent african nations

And those were ethiopia and liberia

Both of which were irrelevant

So I said, if you have a conference where only the great world powers attend

hmmmmmm
