I was just explaining what Ima meant in my opinion, not responding to the actual discussion so don’t drag me into this. 😛 ---

> [@Whitehound](#): > > Why would it be the proper place? Why can it not be here? Because it upsets some trolls? As Uriel mentioned I was referring to the EVE forums as not the right place and not a forum section. Because it is a political topic and a pretty explosive one as you can see from the discussion. ---

This isn’t about the military at large, it’s solely about the USMC. That’s the sole reason this thread was created. To celebrate a tool used by US corporations to further their interests. ---

It’s not an opinion so much as it is simply seeing the world for what it actually is. The US is a democracy only on paper. In reality it’s corporatism. A playground for the rich at the expense of everyone else. You can even become US president as long as you have the money. Doesn’t matter if you have the intellect of a frog. ---

> [@Linus\_Gorp](#): > > Doesn’t matter if you have the intellect of a frog. So what? You’re missing the money now to become president? Or is it that you lack the intelligence to make money? I’m confused. This is really getting very political now. 🤣 ---

Ah yes. Critical thinking never was something you’re good at. Be presented with something you can’t cope with / that challenges your limited world view and all you have to offer are snark remarks. ---
