Dunking on r/neoliberal.

Not a low hanging fruit, but a root vegetable.

Still, comments on this relatively divided. Of course, some quite abysmal takes in there about how a prospective dem president should basically lie to the electorate and increase military spending after the campaign without saying so on the trail.

Basically, fuck democracy, we need the war machine rolling for ... (the purpose is unclear)

Link since the comments are the "juicy" part

Everyone who argues for more military funding (or indeed any military budget above $250 per citizen) is making conclusions from counterfactual propositions.

The last time the USA was attacked on its own soil by a ragtag group of foreign nationals was blowback 25 years ago; the last time it was attacked on its own soil by any remotely comparable foreign army was 85 years ago; the last time it was invaded and occupied by a foreign army was 210 years ago; all of these had a death toll much lower than when the USA split and fought itself.

No American sovereignty, nor any American's freedoms are jeopardized by a foreign power. In this world, all you really need to do to maintain self-rule is to make it prohibitively expensive for someone to invade (and possibly occupy) you. The world is about to witness yet another data point to this truth.
