I accept what I see before me: a young man who is hurt and confused.

Frankly, bangbang, I'm insulted by your accusation that I'd mock our service members. I was expressing concern for you. Truth be told, my cousin is in a similar place. He was wounded in Iraq, treated poorly upon his return, over-medicated, neglected, and has now turned dark and hopeless. He feels abandoned. He rants about geoengineering and HAARP, mostly.

And quit with the "you people" shit. I'd be willing to bet I consume far less media than you. I mean, most months I don't watch tv at all. Last thing I watched was the Mayweather fight. I am being manipulated by the media far less than you.

Excellent reply, I can tell you've really given your worldview a great deal of thought and haven't simply bought into raging paranoia without first doing your due diligence.

You know, I agree that media is manipulative and damaging, just not in the same way you do -- not in the global conspiracy, global genocide, NWO kind of way.

It's obvious that much of the media we are offered is meant to make us feel inadequate and hopeless. This is so companies can then suggest products to cure our insecurities. We are force-fed desires today in order to further commerce tomorrow -- not for the sake of some imaginary, dystopian future.

The US government does use its military for stupid reasons. A lot of this in modern times is related to the military industrial complex. Just like any industry, military hardware and technology makers lobby for Congress to pass laws that are advantages to them.
The difference is, the defense industry enjoys all kinds of special access to government coffers and politicians. This is because people see 40, 000 men with AK-47s out in the dessert (ISIS), and crap their pants. You can't even point out how ridiculous it is to be afraid of such a meager force, because some hired hack (or politician) on TV will say you're naive and your average jo shmo believes them. It sounds right.
A lot of people never to the point to realize that the reason it "sounds right" is because it is all over our media. But I don't really see any reason to get into a conspiracy beyond that. It's just powerful people helping their buddies out and convincing the public otherwise. Always has happened, always will happen.

Good troll. Maybe not worth making yourself look like a fucking moron for half a dozen pages, but I gotta admit I laughed.

I mean, this guy's gonna lecture everyone for being mindless followers, all while he himself subscribes to the oldest hoax in the Book? Yeah right. No one could be that huge of a hypocrite. Hilariously absurd.

I give it 6/10. Would have been higher except for the whole part where you made yourself look like a fucking moron for six pages.
