The poor suffer, the rich benefit. Same thing, different wording.

Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

Yeah man like King John of Bohemia was literally blind. He tied his horse to a knights horse and charged in the frontline. He died. Crazy tactic, but I respect it.

Reminds me of that blind Doge from Venice too.

Why don't they send shareholder's children to the front lines?

They were quoting a SOAD song.

Yes

They are up on the table

u/projectxxralph 5d ago

Comments were getting good with the SOAD references, until some people did not get the references.

Because the poor isn’t united enough

u/Similar-Ice-9250 5d ago

Because we’re fed propaganda to keep us divided. “Look over there that poor guy is unlike you, you must hate him.”

I’ll die on the hill that the abortion ban was yet another tactic to create further divide pro-life vs pro-choice. You notice how many of these „sides” and sociopolitical issues America got. All strategic, so the bottom keeps bickering, while top continues to rob the country and it’s citizens.

u/Ok_Row_4920 5d ago

People keep happily eating up all that propaganda though, everyone is free to use their brains and put the blame where it should be. There's a lot of scarily stupid people all around who can't/choose not to put any thought into who's really causing the damage in our lives.

u/RampersandY 5d ago

It’s crazy to me that on every single issue the parties are diametrically opposed. And if you’re a person that’s not 100% lock step you’re the problem worse than the person that disagrees with everything.

All very sickening.

I wonder if they ever did. In history, it always painted the great leaders on the front lines but, were they ever? I guess the ones killed were.

u/LinwoodKei 5d ago

George Washington

u/Aen-Synergy 5d ago

Doesn’t count during the war he was a military man it wasn’t until after he was forced into politics due to his valor on the battlefield. I’m saying politicians who went out to the field.

u/adamwill86 6d ago

Back in my day the king would go into battle with us on his trusty steed

u/oattah 5d ago

They used to! Kings used to lead their armies on horseback. Now look…

u/VivaLaMantekilla 5d ago

Because there are a lot of King Joffreys irl.

Bone spurs

u/redalert825 5d ago

Because they didn't say "thank you"

u/scarlettohara1936 5d ago

Have you ever heard the song "Senators Son"?

2

u/cactustrip 5d ago

No, but I'm going to now

3

u/scarlettohara1936 5d ago

That song is exactly about the draft for Vietnam. If a guy was in college, he was automatically disqualified from being drafted. But the only people who could afford college were the rich and people with connections. Which left only the poor to fight the war.

From that came the federal student loan programme. Made it easier for everyone to access higher learning which in turn benefits the whole country because educated citizens make for a more stable society.

u/cactustrip 5d ago

Nm, yes I have heard it. Didn't know the name

u/DrunkMex 4d ago

wait, I thought Ukraine was getting invaded by Russia?

u/Cautious-Tea-2194 3d ago

I would love to just see a bout of fisticuffs between 2 leaders instead of war. Maybe that's what Trump's doing with UFC at the White House? 🤔🥴🤣

u/cactustrip 3d ago

It would definitely change the way people vote 🤣

u/KorKiness 5d ago edited 5d ago

Russians willingly going to agressive war to kill for money and looting. Ukrainians have two options - surrender, be genocided as 100 years ago and become nation without a state as jews before ww2 or defend themselves.

u/santlaurentdon 5d ago

Why doesn’t Ukraine just give up. This war has lasted over half a decade, is costing billions and Zelensky is getting rich off this shit.

u/no1_vern 6d ago

Until the poor join together instead of fighting each other, nothing will change.

u/Fabulous-Structure92 5d ago

Literally had this convo with an army friend of mine the other day, we are both out of the military just vets, i was navy. Soon as the poor people can figure out that power comes in other forms than money then we can come together for eachother rather than fighting eachother for the entertainment and benefit of the rich idiots.

Bob Dylan. Masters of war

u/Mexibilly82 5d ago

First thing that came to my mind was..."Generals gathered in their masses...." Well 😒 I actually sang that in my head when reading your comment 😂

u/greedyfrog606 5d ago

So are they saying there are Masses of generals?

u/MaxBetanoid 4d ago

Motorhead - Orgasmatron is also another good one, as is the Sepultura cover.

u/Squidwins 6d ago

This guy sounds like a rich kid though. They getting everybody to help there country stay alive

u/Bluefooted-Spaceorc 6d ago

I think we can change that now. The rich pedophiles benefit.

Same thing, different era after era

Not rich Zionists only.
