    Surprised it is only 10% tbh. The U.S. was created through genocide and grown by slavery, racism and criminality are their core values.

      I think in terms of practicality… as empire ages and extends itself too far, it reaches out in desperation but you would never notice it, as it maintains its perception of strength through its cruelty. A strong nation has some form of defense and for the most part soldiers are disciplined, engaged and with purpose. I think we don’t know the difference between pageantry and success. Always Managing Perception. The age we live is aimless & war for war sake. The pursuit of a dying old mans vain ambition handed over by neglectful reprobates. The order of the most antisocial. Louder, faster and dumber. Lower the standards but yet we have always been turds. So maybe for me two things can be right at the same time. Built on lies with a debt to pay.

      Cartels do the same thing. It’s why they prefer the M16, because that’s what they’re used to.

        Get rid of the concept of gangs & cartels and think in terms of Hierarchy. Everybody has a role and they are all compartmentalized. You can start your own thing but once it gets big, they will give you a choice. They will still let you operate but you need to kiss the ring or get wiped out. The imperialist yankkkkees are the cartel. We are a criminal corporation that serves only those who have capital. Wether it is located in the USA or somewhere else in the world this is the final stages of capitalism. Modern day feudal societies leading to ecological collapse. What a time to be alive! I am just like hell yeah soldier boy lean in!!! They gonna FAFO…. The volunteer dolt creates their own pain.
