I really hope China whups America’s ass. Thucydides law states that one super power cannot supplant another one without war so hopefully it’s coming. Payback is a b*tch as they say.

The fuck is wrong with you?

If you think China is somehow behaves better than the US, I've got news for you.

Literally one of the worst choices you could make for your "good guy". Not to mention, China doesn't want war and if you think any conflict is really likely, you don't pay attention.

China will never win a war against the US LOL.

Literally generations and billions of dollars ahead of them military wise. China would get fucked, that’s why they stick with economic proxy wars

Like the soldier says. Don't judge unless you walked in his/her shoes.

i mean you'd need a lot of concentration camps to beat China. the population is massive at home and abroad you'd need to essentially commit war crimes on a never before seen scale if they fight to the last man. it'll make WW2 look like a walk in the park

Unfortunately, China’s leadership has the ability to plan for decades of action, while the US is stuck squabbling amongst itself every 4 years. US is so stuck on woke issues, while China silences and standardizes what it’s citizens are going to do.

That doesn’t mean anything, in any way shape, or form. There is right, and there is wrong. You don’t need god to tell you that, but you might need the delusion that one exists to justify what you did to another conscious being (in your own brain, you may be able to trick yourself of this using therapy & drugs).

The only way I’d be able to justify it is that I was tricked, I was duped. No other way around it, that’s a fucking brick wall.

I came here for comments about "Lucifer Effect by Dr.Philip Zimbardo. In his book he goes into great detail about attrocities done in the prison and also systematic evils that came into play. No metions about this. None. Shame...

If people are interested in Abu Ghraib, the book “Monstering” is worth a read.

Its always so wild to me when anyone talks about how underfunded the military is. The complaint is always, we're spending so much money on the military, we have none for social services.

Then I realize, well where's all the money going? Taxes -> Government -> Military -> Pockets of those rich dudes who make giant war machines.

Just like the hospitals Taxes -> Government -> Hospitals -> Pockets of those rich dudes who own the hospitals.

Like this entire fucking system is designed to funnel money from everyone into the hands of the few. We've come full circle right back around to feudalism.

Okay so, the context you're missing in your post is that soldiers literally go through basic to break down their own decision making process, and then they're put into situations to further break it down.

You're a soldier, you don't think, you don't ask questions, you do what you're told and you stay alive. You start being an independent free spirit, you die.
