Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

“So what?”

It could be used for good, it could be used for bad, who cares right?

Well, I care. And you have failed to convince me that the military contains good people Who will choose the citizens over the benefits they get from being in the military and the punishment that will happen if they refuse to obey.

I will double down on my opinion.

You're not acting like you care. And you're not responding to what I posted: so what if it can be used for bad - it can be used for good, so do that.

Literally anything can be used for good or bad: if any potential for misuse is a deal breaker for you, then wtf are you doing here on the Internet?

We have a lot of tools at our disposal. Use them to nudge the world closer to one you'd actually want to live in. Don't shy away from the screwdriver just because it can be used as a weapon.

I will double down on my opinion.

Your opinion is only helping the Trump regime. I'll ask again, what's your goal here? Cuz you're pushing for people to give up. If that's not what you're after, maybe take some time for some introspection of your own. Or, if convincing people to just give up is your goal, then you are a traitor right in rank with the MAGA dipshits that landed us in this mess in the first place.

I’m not acting like I care how a vague oath can be used for good or bad depending on who has their hand up the jug-ass?

If that’s your comprehension, then you have zero comprehension skills. You’re perfect for the armed forces.
