  • US troops are disproportionately middle class. Full article is on scidb if you wanna read the whole thing. But here is the important part:

    We show that recent recruits tend to have higher than average socioeconomic background: they dispro- portionally come from the middle of the family income, family wealth, and cognitive skill distributions, with both tails under-represented

    Also they are not doing this to distract from Epstein. The rich got away with that, we have not taken out any of them in retaliation. We’re not even protecting kids from troops at Ft Brag. We don’t care enough to stop them, they can do whatever they want until we hit our breaking point. Just shitty to know that pedos running concentration camps for kids is not our breaking point







  • PS: I’m leaning towards “don’t say anything you wouldn’t in a court of law” model these days. If its online - and you don’t own the infra - there’s always a risk.

    You should assume everything you say online is being captured by govts. Encrypt everything you can, use a no log VPN not based in 15 eyes, use OS and browser with sandboxes/containers


  • If by world leaders you’re including the entirety of the Epstein class but sparing the working class of those nations, that’s understandable. But when not hating us, try to remember that as a whole we are ok with genocide, detention centers with inhumane conditions, international sanctions that cause starvation, extravagant military, drone attacks, etc. You could excuse us by saying our propaganda has greatly skewed our beliefs, and that would be correct. But it’s not hard to see that murder is wrong, even if propagandized, so we have some responsibility. Don’t we have a responsibility to overthrow the leaders?
