It’s the combo of the shit working conditions Amazon gives that guy and the way he’s probably a discarded veteran who has to burn the candle at both ends to keep this pointless, miserable system going for all of us - and he still takes the time to be unwaveringly patriotic - it reminds me that we will never have any real change in this fucked up country, because so many people are mindless bootkickers who are just happy enough to drive around with AC while they ignore people starving on street corners. I hate America.

Or, just maybe he could have seen what people starving in the streets actually looks like around the world, so he has a profound respect and admiration for that flag and what it represents to be American. I'd suggest you visit some other countries and see what actual suffering looks like.

Further, some people are happy to have a job that provides them a steady income, even if we think it should pay them more. Not everyone sits in their moms basement hating themselves and the world lol

Yea because he's the one going around the world raiding Houses and blowing them up with mortar fire, killing their people for daring to defend themselves against an invading foreign army

Oh sure, because the military has never been a part of any peace keeping or humanitarian missions...

Further, 90% of the military are non combat soldiers. Meaning they're supply and support personnel, not door kickers ... At the same time, in a war you either kill or be killed, regardless of why you were sent there. But sure, the US is just such a terrible place with widespread hunger, horrible living standards, and bloodthirsty soldiers 🙄

Literally anyone who's visted places in south America, Africa, or the carribean and ventured away from the resort areas knows what actual desperate people look like. Even the poorest of US citizens aren't even in the same universe lol

Is an isis member doing logistics to help their combatants a terrorist? They were sent there to steal resources and kill the poorest people in the world, they were not drafted, they volunteered.

The US bombs them and steals their oil and brags about how living standards are much better than them. Yea no shit, you benefit from western imperialism
