    And do you not care about the families and children in the countries they plunder and rape?

      Most people are more worried about their immediate family than strangers. But yes I do care, and fortunately it’s not a call I have had to make but I literally couldn’t have kids if I wanted to unless I joined the military today. Too bad the echo chamber here has never had to make a tough call! Maybe they could relate if they had to struggle and grow up poor.

          So have I dumb ass, on both sides of US invasions. My mother is from Venezuela, and my father is ashamed of what he had to do to provide his children with a better life. That’s not what my original comment was about, I was stating that in the United States if you are poor and want health care and the opportunity to provide for you family your option is the military. Must be nice to come from a country where you have a choice, your privilege is showing.

            I’m trans, disabled, unemployed and from/in Latin America, you asshole. Having principles isn’t a privilege, it’s the bare minimum. If you believe we’re less human than you and we can get killed so you get healthcare you suck. I’d sooner do precarious work that only puts me at risk than do that. There’s no universe in which what you’re saying makes sense. Grow up and stop making imperialist apologia.
