There is no number of foreigners that is unacceptable to sacrifice for a middle class livelihood. Anti-cop because they can imagine a scenario where a cop inconveniences them. These principles don't apply to the Waffen SS because they can't imagine a soldier personally inconveniencing them and, of course, foreigners aren't really humans.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you're a (imperialist)soldier or a cop you're a bastard. Simple as. You may have been propagandized into it to a massive degree or you may have few other economic options. Still a bastard.
It seems obvious. If someone walks up to me and says hey "I'll give you 1 million Dollars to go kill that mom, dad, and kid over there just hanging out in the park" and I accept that is an evil action. Even if I'm dirt poor and dang a million dollars would let me escape poverty that's an evil action.
Choosing to join the military is the same thing except Americans have been told it's good their whole life. Plus it pays way less than my example so it probably won't even let you escape poverty.
Now I won't say soldiers or even cops are irredeemable of course. If you get out and realize your evil and spend your time now atoning one way or another then good job you are no longer so evil. Obviously expect no forgiveness from those you hurt but if you're truly atoning you wouldn't. This is where many people seem to go wrong. Like oh damn I joined the military and I know/knew it was bad but please feel bad for me now cause I feel sad about it. No you go do something to make up for your sins if you feel bad about it.
Of course individuals making evil decisions in a huge system that requires them is not the biggest issue. I won't spend all my energy on individual soldiers. They are bastards but the bigger problem is and the focus must be on the machine that told them to be.

Sometimes redemption is a lonely road. It will likely not always stay that way if you continue to be authentic, but it will start that way. If you rather be a fascist because it’s easier than doing good things for the sake of being a good person, then you’re just a fascist :eric-andre:
Like bro, you were willing to endure 6 months of a sweaty meathead yelling at you and killing random families at your commander’s order but you can’t handle when someone doesn’t look you in the eye and forgive you? Lol. A bit narcissistic
Basically ya. If you truly understand what you did was evil you wouldn't ever demand someone forgive you. You do good things as much as possible and if someone decides to forgive you you thank them and keep doing good.
And yes redemption is likely lonely especially at first but I don't know probably shouldn't have signed up for the murder machine if you wanted people to think you were a good person and want to be around you. Of course I support outreach to people trying to redeem themselves. Organizing good things for them to do is of course a solid plan.
