This is a reminder that if you're human, you're going to slip back into old habits sometimes. It has nothing to do w/ "weakness" & nothing to do w/ how well you are or aren't doing recovery.
Grace over guilt. Just right the ship when you can.

leftists actually agree with you here and have had very pointed critiques of the military's predatory recruitment historically, and the abandonement of Black and Brown soldiers after service.
and most recently, i think there are articles naming "The Poverty Draft" that speak to this.

Leftist never want to acknowledge the nuance of 1) how predatory the military is and 2) the systems at play that forces people to join.
So many people join because of health care benefits, access to free education, as well as just escaping their toxic living situations.

Dear Leftist (socialist and communist) comrades,
Capitalism will fall. As much as the capitalist powers that be may try, they cannot ignore material reality. Socialism will win. And we will build a Socialist society that will help us achieve Communism. Reality is Marxist. And we are legion.

not too much on the people who these loans prey on.
A 50 year mortgage minimizes your monthly payment by $200/month but adds $390K in interest over the life of the loan

The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

cruelty is the point.

government open or closed.
red or blue in office.
bipartisan or not.
the empire will continue to starve, kill, and imprison people.

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

By the way, this has been the Democrats party for decades. They’ve skated by for years on this “at least we’re not republicans” bullshit, meanwhile enabling them at every turn.
This is just the time during which you can ill afford their feckless ways.

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.
