holy shit people are fucking ridiculous, man.

leftistgamermemes literally used the word "socialism" to mean the benefits that would be available to all of us under a socialist economy as the concessions given to soldiers in exchange for their service to capital. Is it scientifically correct? No, but it isn't exactly wrong either. The things that your government employee; military or not; and much more, would be readily available to everyone under a socialist governance. Despite the meme doing very well on the page and actually doing okay on chapo, multiple people completely lost their fuckin' shit over a fucking meme I didn't even create.

Is this meme saying that socialism is when politicans get stuff or obviously that a select few enjoy the benefits we all would enjoy under socialism? Like jesus, people are acting like it's saying "socialism is when government does stuff" without looking deeper whatsoever into the context or the fact that it's playing off nostalgia to begin with. I genuinely had someone sitting there and asking me "if I knew how much damage this slop is doing" while at the same time telling me I'm overrepresenting it/deflecting/shifting blame on something I didn't even fucking create. Schrodinger's Slop.

Do veterans control the means of production? Are they democratically represented in government? Beyond some of them getting a pension or some equivalent, is there anything protecting them from the grinding gears of the class society that they are still in the underclass of?

not the tiny small-bean uwu baby-killers that literally get a plethora of benefits for themselves, their spouse and their children for literally servicing a death-machine. The thing protecting them from the "gears of class society" is their service and even then they are given a lot more than your average person to prevent them from "falling down". It as a system just has zero issue shrugging off the undesirables and "useless". There's plenty of soldiers out there who have recognized and realized otherwise, but I'm not going to pretend like most of them are good people. Sadly, a genuine chunk of the good ones killed themselves. I don't mean that in a edgy "haha dead soldier is a good soldier" but the ones high in empathy don't last too long.

I dunno about you but a three month old account seemingly fully dedicated to creating as much argument and division out of a fucking gaming meme screams really weird to me, but then again we have eight people posting the same question repeatedly without any further thinking or consideration than the tik-tok clip of Richard Wolf looping in their brain. Yes, I do know some of them were joking.
