The Army will now allow recruits to enlist up to age 42 and has removed a waiver requirement for those with a marijuana-related conviction.

    Honestly, I’m all for this. While the American/Israeli regime is awful, so is the job market. Joining the military can give purpose and direction in lives that otherwise have neither.

      you got it all mixed up, they instigate an awful job market so people can become cannon fodder. it has happened everytime a republican came into power. when obama came into power the 1st time, hordes of people were trying to join the military due to the 08 recession caused by BUSH.

      If you’re looking for purpose, being part of a genocidal war machine isn’t one unless you’re a Nazi.

      Are you a Nazi metakrakalaka?

      I don’t think that’s the answer. I would rather be a wageslave at a shitty retail store, than be a slave for the pedoking who can’t make rational decisions and critical thinking, while serving only himself.

      One way or another, the military will make you involved in the bullshit this country decides to get involved in and you’ll have no say in the matter.

        Either way you’re going to be serving the regime. At least in the military you can do it with some dignity and gain useful experience that can help you when you get out. That’s not mentioning the better pay and benefits that go along with it.

      Purpose: murder brown people and help steal their natural resources. Direction: drug-addiction and homelessness

      That is EXACTLY how the Epstein predator class sees the rest of us. Utterly purposeless and directionless, unless serving themselves as wage slaves to be exploited or cannon fodder to be killed, things to be used and discarded.

      And if we’re not old enough to get a job or be drafted, not to worry: they’re also knocking down both child labor laws and protecting pedophiles everywhere you look. For our “purpose,” of course. And our “direction,” which only they can provide, and only exists if it serves themselves.

      And here’s you @metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org with your fresh new seven-day-old account that you will delete again as soon as it a) gets banned, or b) gets so thoroughly blocked by the “purposeless and directionless” masses you’re trying to influence that nothing you post gets any traction and you have to create a new one.

      You should be ashamed, but I imagine that would require some humanity and I’m not holding my breath.

          Metakrakalaka@lemmy.chan.org, simping for the Epstein class, tells me

          You need to calm down.

          What I need, and what other sentient beings need, is LESS calm. “Calm down,” lol. Fucking hardly. And if I ever do, it definitely won’t be because someone openly simping for the billionaire status quo tells me it’s required.

          Yeah, your class would like that a lot. “Move along, follow the arrows neatly painted for you, then enter the orphan-grinding-cannon-foddering labor exploitation machine quietly and in a single line, thank you!”

          Fuck calm. And thanks for letting me know I got to you.

      Getting turned into pink mist by a drone for a cadre of pedophiles and genocidal maniacs is the opposite “purpose and meaning” it is a degrading death.

      If you’re looking at, or suggesting others look towards, destruction and genocide for “purpose and direction” you are truly lost.

      If you need a job for purpose and direction in life, your life must be incredibly dull and sad. Think for yourself. Don’t be a parrot and unreflecting wageslave.

      You somehow ended up in Lemmy, so not all hope is lost.
