Wow, what’s the job?

Shooting poor people to protect oil interests for multi-billion conglomerates.

Does it say anything about the kind of people you feel are up to the job that you’re approaching a grown man wearing a chicken suit?

Wogi,

A few of the guys I game with were sign spinners at some point, and they’re all extremely anti military for that reason. One of them is technically homeless and has spent a few years without a roof, and wouldn’t join the military if his life depended on it.

JudahBenHur,

Wait… Wait, they’re anti military because as sign spinners they were regularly approached to join the military?

SaakoPaahtaa,

I wish I was so simple I’d think like you.

JudahBenHur,

You wish you were so simple THAT you’d think like me.

Let me tell you something simple: If an opportunity is a good one, for employment in this example, all that has to happen is for it to be known that it exists and people will come knocking, asking to be allowed to avail of that opportunity.

If someone comes to you and tries to sell you about how something is a good deal for you, they are the one who has something to gain, and it is going to be at your expense.

    No arguments, only baseless ad hominem fallacies.

    You indeed have the intelligence to be in the military.

    SaakoPaahtaa,

    It is well known the chinese took ME oilfields as a part of their imperialistic tendencies.

    US military ensures the flow and protection of global trade which facilitates everything you take for granted. Saying US armed forces protect only big oil interests and are a burden on the world is quite literally a lie and honestly reminds me of elementary school bros who unironically believe so.

    US army is a net benefit for the world

    A ton of Americans would take the job if it only involved shooting. Thing is though, it’ll also involve being shot at.

    any money quantity isn’t enough when we are talking about the possibility of being killed or maimed somewhere around the globe

    Hey, now. That isn’t completely accurate. You can also get PTSD!

    you can also get captured and spend several years as a pow

    Honytawk,

    I’m more into it because of the killing of innocent civilian children TBH /s

    Man, I’m shocked that most people would rather wear a duck costume in sweltering heat than risk taking a bullet or a grenade!

    Agent641,

    Of course people dont want to go to the trenches with a rifle and helmet, they would get mud all over their duck costume

    Also fuck Putin.

    saltesc,

    In my country, the lowest wage for the lowest rank is around $46.5K USD.

    I think $35k is the signing bonus. Still not worth it, but that’s a life changing amount of money for a lot of people. All by design, of course.

    JokeDeity,

    I can only hope he’s contemplating the end of it. Fuck the military and every war pig.

    My brother joined up and deeply regretted it. I was 8 at the time. When I got to the age where recruiters started sniffing around I told one that I would join if I could only shoot the people Exxon wanted me wanted to shoot, I didn’t want to fight for any other oil company. He called me unamerican and they never came back .

    Thats actually hilarious. Good on you.

    GreenMario,

    Shell or bail.

    neptune,

    What’s the point of the bottom half? Do we really need emoji summarization of a pretty straightforward story?

    Stamets,
    @Stamets@startrek.website avatar

    Well, that would be the meme portion of the post. Considering that this is a meme community, yeah. I think we do need it.

    The best sign spinner I ever saw was a pickle.

    OberonSwanson,

    That’s the correct answer. I was shot at once and the realization in the moment… well it messed me up royally.

    I’d rather spin a sign than get shot for a government that doesn’t care about me.
