What's with the whataboutism?

They're right, there shouldn't be recruiters in school that's predatory as shit.

Do they do that in the UK? I didn't think they were quite so gung-ho about their military.

[-] Oyster_Lust@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't know people still used that racist phrase.

I didn't know gung ho was a racist term and now I look it up I see that it is clearly not.

I'm not sure who your authority is that determines the offense of words, but I have friends from China that take great offense to the term.

It's directly related. Why are 18 year olds able to lock themselves into a 6 year contract that they might be killed before they see the end of, when they are, legally, too dumb to make their own decisions regarding a chemical they put in their bodies?

It's really simple. The ruling class of society benefits more sending the little shit into the military than it costs. The ruling class doesn't benefit as much when this little shit costs more than the little shit produces. It has nothing to do with protecting the little shit, it has to do with protecting the people in power.

They can choose to take hormone blockers at 12, but they can't choose to have sex until they're 18 (depending on local statutes). The laws are filled with hypocrisy.
