    It’s so frustrating when liberals explode with rage over foreign military promotional material, but swoon over the same from their own militaries.

    Russia runs a recruitment ad and the liberals talk shit about how it’s propaganda, but American ads get called “badass”.

      You ever see one an Amerikan one? Holy fucking shit, the amount of jingoistic brainwashing is insane. Drone pilots defend “freedom”. “We serve so others don’t have to”. Not to mention a seemingly obsessive focus on making the military look as inclusive as possible - girlboss and BIPOC murderers galore! Education benefits, moralism, just dear god.

    I remember once YouTube recommended me a video that my friend then accidentally clicked on.

    It was a jughead’s reaction video to a pro-defense propaganda piece Venezuela put out (which was based as fuck btw) and he spent the whole video talking about how much he wanted to personally murder every single one of the soldiers depicted. How easy it would be. How they looked like peasants and were so brainwashed they had to be put down. Absolutely fucking disgusting, deranged behavior that the algorithm rewards.

          Can’t blame you. Was it Jocko Winnick by any chance? He’s quite notorious as a media “warrior” from what I know

            I think it might be. Having trouble finding a video by him like the one mentioned, sort of a front-facing “comedic” analysis. The thing is he looks exactly like the guy I’m thinking of, but all these white bloodthirsty dudebros look like swollen Habsburgs.
