    The ones in charge: know that poor children are more likely to accept work out of desperation and have never met a way to exploit the proletariat they didn’t like

    The everyday voters: just hate children

      Also, poor kids are more willing to join the military because they sell it as a way to escape the drudgery

        And guess what else those states have? Poor education systems, which make for more low-income workers. And also health care! Once you’re at retirement, you’re no good to the system - in fact, you’re a drain!

        The thing is that if you fuck the kids over too much, theyre too stupid and unhealthy to join. Its just another idiotic american capitalist contradiction

          Yep, but after a certain point, they just want bodies

          Once had a recruiter literally tell me that they basically just want people who can hold a rifle and not shoot the other troops

            Military recruiters are fucking idiots and honestly not the arbiter of who get in or not, all they do is try to get people interested and to processing to see if they can actually join or not

              Salespeople. Always the dumbest people on earth. They just literally read from a memorized script and smile a lot

          Wait until they’re on the can

          I haven’t met the man who can outrun a grenade with their pants around their ankles

      To me, the core difference between rethugs and dems has always ultimately been a palpable of hatred of children (I.e a hatred of themselves ie their inner child ie “weakness”) I wish I was kidding. It’s why they call us “snowflakes”, they hate innocence. Just hate it
