There's 2 main categories of troops: those who join due to poverty/lack of opportunities and those who join to legally kill people. The latter group can be further divided into those that are open about it (they'll just admit they want to kill people) and those who aren't (the ones that say they joined "for the adventure/to do cool stuff")
I'm shocked that the soulless avatar of the YouTube algorithm would use slave labour to construct his theme park in a theocratic absolute monarchy, I thought he was the epic wholesome guy exploiting people's misfortune for views, ad revenue, and sponsorships! Who would have thought the guy who ran a "real life squid games™" would have no problem with literal slavery?
Anyone interested in WW1 history should read Poilu: The World War 1 Notebooks of Corporal Louis Barthas Barrelmaker 1914—1918. It's a first hand account by a French socialist who spent almost the entire war in the trenches. He basically spends the entire book criticising rampant militarism, the jingoistic newspapers, and bloodthirsty officers.
Here's one of my favourite passages:
Here and there appeared other shadowy figures, fugitives like ourselves seeking the road to safety. All of a sudden an imperious voice behind us called on us to halt. And at just the right time! In the middle of a salvo of shellfire, a minute lost could be fatal, so we played deaf. After a second summons which we also ignored, we heard the jumble of footsteps coming toward us and suddenly someone jammed the barrel of a big revolver right under my nose, crying out in a terrible voice that if I took one more step I’d be a dead man. Another stranger was shaking Chiffre by the collar as if to strangle him.
Christ, had we run into a couple of madmen? There were plenty of examples of those who had lost their wits altogether in places like Cote 304.
But I soon recognized that I had in front of me the young Sublieutenant Roques of the 23rd Company—that of “the brute,” the terrible Captain Barbier.
Outraged by this highly impolite way of stopping people, I hoisted my Lebel rifle and replied to him, “You’ve got your revolver, I’ve got my rifle, so what do you want to do now?”
NDP interim Leader Don Davies praised the budget's investment in infrastructure but raised some concerns about the coming cuts.
And as always the NDP have to
, they can never just take a stance and straight up oppose the libs. They're just the release valve for the more leftist sections of the liberals, they exist so Canada can claim it's not a two party system and to ensure no one strays too far from main stream liberal thought
It's from Fallout: New Vegas. There's a sniper in the Dino's mouth, he tasks you with finding out who sold his wife into slavery and leading them out in front of the dino so he can take his revenge
Edit: whoops didn't see the other replies, I'm one of those FNV dweebs lol
I know this isn't the point but if he actually read the Bible he would know rich men don't go to heaven. Jesus was pretty clear about that. If a rich man wants to go to heaven step one is not being rich. They can bs all they want about how the camel through the eye of a needle bit was a metaphor, it refers to a literal gate, blah blah blah but it's very cut and dry. If you are rich and want to go to heaven you must sell what you have and give to the poor.
But of course basically all "Christianity" forsakes Christ's teachings anyway so what's one more ignored lesson? Modern Christianity is basically all heresy anyway
Unironically yes. Iirc it was basically making fun of a genre of fiction of the time where European/British kids would bring "civilization" to wherever they were stranded.
Is there an updated list of known American military assets in the Caribbean?
