But now? I can no longer be naive. (I’m not calling all y’all naive… I’ve been that for most of my existence, trying to give ppl breaks. Trying to believe in the Goodness of Humankind. )
I still think finding true Evil in a human is rare. Sadly tho, I think then of pregnant 10 yr olds who are forbidden necessary medical procedures; rich ppl standing outside their mansions holding guns (poorly) because they’re afraid of differently toned skin colors than their’s at a peaceful demonstration. Razor wired buoys/barriers at our southern border. More. This stuff has to be big-E Evil.
Sorry if this is disruptive. I’m very sad about all this and don’t see it as political. It’s a change un human hivemind behavior.
When you are poor, military service can be a very logical move. The poor are represented very well in the military. Nobody every talked to me about college when I was in high school. College was something for the rich folk.
logical, but by design. it’s a funnel, really. or maybe more like a lifeline, if you’re poor enough. it’s a little starship trooperesque. watching recent debates and platforms coming out of the states people seem A-ok with pinning full rights as a citizen to military service. i wonder if they see how comically dystopian that is.
I used to think that way too.

i think you’ll find that’s the general pervasive consensus here, we just like to layer it in winks and nods.

Sympathy for the she-devil?
I still love the shit out of both the mercs. Psst, are you Honza from the old Unsounded comments section? :P
I believe he is 😉
I used to read there too. Did you go by a different ID than here?
i like me a little nuance. i don’t believe in complete unambiguous evil.
