He's following in your national leaders footsteps of shaking people down for money, its the American Dream, baby.

"Under no guidance, they can fall into really, really bad habits. Under the right guidance, you can take this generation and use their skills [positively]."

That's exactly what I thought when I read this. Or, the right guidance to persecute those who would speak truth to power and expose the G-d-awful truth of who we really are, in our very poor, misguided leadership.

I just can't imagine being so obtuse as to see the sheer leverage they have over this kid and the fact that they desperately, desperately need technical competence in the US agencies right now.

They could lean on this kid forever to make him a good little agent, but no, send the twink boy to the assrape box. Rehabilitation? Whats that.

You romanticizing a situation that doesn’t deserve it. Skilled or not- he hurt people for money. He’s not a Robin Hood fighting the evil corporatists or government.

Hurting people for money is the model of capital. He's just trying to get that bag like your president does.

[-] DarkroomDoc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

That’s a straw man, stay on topic. Nobody should hurt people for money. Saying that this kid deserves a nice job as a reward is just a sycophantic as the right covering for trump.

Oh yeah for sure, he totally deserves more than his entire lifespan so far being violated in the asshole.

You are absolutely unhinged, a bad person and should think about what the fuck it is you're saying.

Edit: I love lemmy, not having to self-censor is a delight.

Never said he deserved life in prison- I said he doesn’t deserve a reward. Again, you’re reading too much into what I said and are projecting an awful lot. My point is the kid did a bad thing, he doesn’t deserve praise. How hard is that to understand?

Theres a far difference between praise and "having to be the FBIs lil' intern bitch for a decade" with the sword of damocles of suspended prosecution hanging over your head.

I feel like that's a core requirement for the CIA though...

[-] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 1 points 1 month ago

hurting people for money is the core tenant of being a cop, a soldier or a spy. They're all different ways for the state to wield violence.

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Then he belongs in jail same as Trump

That is my point. I refuse to be okay with sending a boy to get his behind busted for 20 years for trying to get that bag while the country is otherwise lawless.
