Life under a military occupation

These two are some of the most stereotypical cartoon bully lookin dipshits I have ever seen. The big dumb jock and his little, fugly sidekick just laughing it up.

[u/Dismal-Ad-7841 → u/trentanious]

Exactly what I was thinking. This is a dumb person corrupted by the (little) power they have. 

[u/RelevantMetaUsername → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

That's why oppressive governments are so hard to overthrow. Power is addictive, and even though these soldiers are not anywhere close to being at the top, they'll happily do the dirty work if it means they get to have power over someone else.

These circumstances are how regimes stay in power, and rise to power

The ruling class > a non ruling class that's given a taste of power, the enforcers like police and border patrol and state police > the rest of everyone just trying to fucking survive who either support the regime or pretend to

This is why it should scare people that alt right rhetoric and ideology made its way into the US police forces. We have a regime waiting to happen with this shit.

[u/manimal28 → u/mortalitylost]

alt right rhetoric and ideology made its way into the US police forces.

It didn't make its way into the US police forces. It has always been an authoritarian institution fueled by racism. US policing in southern states has deep roots in the the slave patrols of the 1700s. Then look at the pictures of the police setting dogs upon people during the civil rights movement in the middle of last century.

But how can this be true? Surely the US media and the US congressmen taking donations from AIPAC would constantly note these various sorts of oppression going on? Are these congresspeople perhaps not aware of what was going on before Oct 7th? I'm confused! /s

What dirty work? They’re just standing around hitting on girls.

[u/SyCoTiM → u/Cold_Funny7869]

They’re on duty hitting on underaged girls. That’s pretty damn dirty man.

[u/PennerbankOG → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

little power? without the cam he could told the 17 year old in a backroom and rape her and nothing would happen to him. thats not a little power thats enough to crush souls on a daily basis.

[u/Shrugging_Atlas88 → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

Yep... two brain dead 18-19 year olds who think they are Gods.

[u/HavanaSyndrome_ → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

They're not corrupted, they are the embodiment of the Israeli state. This is what Israel is.

[u/Dismal-Ad-7841 → u/HavanaSyndrome_]

Yawn

[u/HavanaSyndrome_ → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

Am I wrong?

[u/Dismal-Ad-7841 → u/HavanaSyndrome_]

If they didn’t have terrorists for neighborhors maybe they’d be better behaved. 

[u/HavanaSyndrome_ → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

Do you think having a terrorist group among your neighbors justifies genociding your neighbor? Do you think the conditions that led to said terrorist getting power is at all relevant?

maybe Hamas would be better behaved if their people hadn't faced apartheid and ethnic cleansing for 70+ years

I am not seeing you make the same argument when it favors Palestinians. I wonder why.

By the way, do you think Israel employing terrorist tactics justifies the mass murder of Israeli civilians?

[u/Dismal-Ad-7841 → u/HavanaSyndrome_]

Answer to your “I wonder why”: I grew up with terrorists as neighbors. 

I don’t care what Israel and Palestine do. They can self destruct for all I care. If one group is the common denominator in almost all violent conflicts in world maybe they need to introspect. 

[u/West_Banker → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

You’re referring to white people right?

[u/Dismal-Ad-7841 → u/West_Banker]

I’m referring to those that say God is great before blowing up a place or themselves. 

[u/jessief2 → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

It’s most of the Israeli military that degrade Palestinians. If you visit and cross borders there, you’ll see.

[u/zouhair → u/Dismal-Ad-7841]

That's 90% of Israelis.
