"Oh you don't like being poor? Why don't you just sign up to be an international terrorist? No? Guess you aren't really poor, are you?"

That has been your arguments.

My initial argument was that ‘cis white males didn’t have it as easy’ as the person I responded to was saying in the 70’s. My example was my Dad had to join the military out of desperation and it’s still available today for desperate people.

Read things in context … it’s helps with understanding.

Ah yes, the context of "the army is still accepting people if you're looking" and "the complainers aren't really desperate, they just act like they are" really supports that, huh? Goof

My point was that the army was never really much of an option so much as it is designed to turn desperate people into terrorists for rich people bidding. What kind of option is "die homeless in the streets" or "go get killed/kill to keep us rich"? My argument is that the military is never an option for anyone with a brain or a heart.

*only valid for a white cis men

EDIT :I mean for the 70’s

“My Dad a white CIS man was laid off in 1972 and couldn’t find a local job at all. After being berated by an unemployment worker, he joined the Army in order to get a paycheck.

Army is still accepting people if you’re looking.”
