Oddly enough, this has been true for the majority of the wars in the twentieth century.
How they think they are going to die:
Fancy laser beamHow they are actually going to die:
Tagged by a toy drone carrying a hand grenade, while they are taking a shit behind a tree.It must be horrific, waiting for the whine of the drone and never being safe from the observation drones overhead.
At least in the more recent wars one might feel safer behind the front line.
waiting for the whine of the drone
hmm… a great way to fuck with russians - something like an annoyotron - https://www.geekextreme.com/annoyatron-holy-grail-of-pranks/
but it plays quadcopter noises randomly.
Look up the Soviet ‘Night Witches’ of WW2.
The Commissars put the female pilots in the worst planes. But the ladies figured out a battle plan. Their tiny biplanes could glide for miles; so they’d wait for nightfall, load up with bombs, and fly as high as possible. Then they’d silently glide over the German lines.
That’s terrifying. Sounds like it’d make a good film though
Garth Ennis did a pretty good graphic novel about them.

aaaand placed a hold at the library thanks
In Robert Evan’s original run of It Could Happen Here, he said that when he was imbedded in Syria and Iraq that he saw some of the toughest and scariest people he’s ever met go white as a sheet at the sound of a commercial drone overhead
That’s an interesting looking podcast, Ty.
Have something positive queued up, it gets kinda dark while still being illuminating
The reason allowing oligarchs to encourage this split between younger people and older people is dumb is because it’s just incorrect.
Look at voting stats. Thinking it’s all older people causing all of this shit ignores the GROWING younger population that is turning to fascism. It’s ignoring all the older people who are not fascists.
So many people seem to think “the problem will die out in time”. Congrats, you’ve fallen for the propaganda. While you’re busy giving up on change because the problem will fix itself, they’re busy indoctrinating the next generation and strengthening their position.
So all this fucking ageist bullshit only serves to make fascism stronger.
There is only one thing we need to do: Throw out fascists by any means necessary. I don’t care about age, gender, race, wealth level. All I care about: Are you against fascism? Then let’s go and throw them out.
Seeing all of these racist chat groups keep popping up is proof that fascism and racism aren’t going anywhere.
Yep. And they’re encouraging incels because that leads people into fascism/naziism as well. So it’s only going to get worse.
Being Left requires thought. You have to weigh all the potential solutions and listen to a lot of differing ideas. You have to be respectful and consider things that might not make a lot of sense to you.
Being Fascist means putting on boots and kicking ass.
“I was in a war” well, thanks for voting to make your children and I in one too
That’s just classic “My trauma MADE ME A MAN, so now it will be your trauma too!” stupidity.
It’s great to be a zennial. Too young to get pressured into Iraq too old to get drafted into Iran. Just old enough to have had the option to go to Afghanistan if I really wanted to trade my soul and a limb for an education and subpar healthcare
Death by laser beam is unoriginal. If you want to be original you see how long you can choke yourself out while jacking off & flying an F-47.
NCD is over there.
