every single one; when I see a shitty tel aviv influencer join the IDF, I look forward to them being exploded by heroic Hamas resistance fighters; I pray constantly for their violent death

moles providing intel to the resistance or conducting effective sabotage internally might need to be considered on a case-by-case basis

US cops too

10000-com

also throw in US troops too

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago (12 children)

For some reason this is a controversial take here and people keep telling me the troops will join the revolution even though idf service is compulsory and everybody who signs up to serve in the larger even more genocidal army is doing it willingly.

[–] FemboyStalin@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

People really fell for the "the US army is made of poor people doing what they can to survive" propaganda of the 00s.

[–] Ithorian@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago (8 children)

I mean I joined the military cause I was broke and homeless. I did 5 years active duty and I'm here an committed as fuck to leftist ideals and revolution.

its because every revolution in history has had a military component and envisioning one for the US based on historical materialism requires working in military participation as a prerequisite.

People say this a lot, but the fact that the former US troops here on Hexbear haven't been driven off makes me wonder about the depths of their conviction.

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago (8 children)

I'd hope their conviction isn't real, because wishcasting mass death like this (1) is a purely aesthetic choice that does nothing but look unhinged and (2) is far in excess of even the most punitive measures suggested after WWII.

"We're going to kill every one of you if we win" makes winning harder, not easier.

Well if history is anything to go by, they'll slink off under cover of darkness, leaving their allies to be overrun by the Taliban.

No more "clean IOF myth", every single one is complicit in genocide.

Edit: tho a better idea would be forced labour, can't let their labour-power go to waste when it could be used to develop productive forces. But i ain't gonna complain when they get smoked by violent resistance members.

[–] Finger@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

no more half measures walter

[–] thoro@lemmy.ml 25 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Bloodlust leads to war crimes.

Leftists would do well to remember to retain and value their humanity. It should be what separates us from them. This isn't a call for pacifism, btw. It's a call to not lose yourself in hate and dehumanization.

Yes, I'm angry too. But this isn't a winning tactic unfortunately.

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago (9 children)

Killing all the enemy troops sounds like a great strategy

[–] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You know what happens when you execute/kill every single enemy? They don't surrender. They fight to their deaths. They fight with all their strength.

You take prisoners to make your victory easier, not to be a good guy.

Google "IDF down syndrome" you will get way too many pictures of IOF members with down syndrome, and a video of a Palestinian with down syndrome getting his neck beaten by IOF members, truly the scummiest of the world

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Service is compulsory in Israel. Every single person who doesn't have an specific exemption has to serve.

90% of people who ask for an exemption are denied. If you don't serve, you can be thrown in military prison. Usually this lasts for 90 days. You'll also be dishonorable discharged which can affect employment opportunities.

[–] RaisedFistJoker@hexbear.net 45 points 5 months ago (1 children)

if the taylor swift fake news account can refuse service, so can everyone

[–] BakedBeanEnjoyer@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago (5 children)

If you think the average 18 year old who has been indoctrinated since birth threatened with jail and loss of employment deserves death, then you're just not serious.

Not even Mao or Stalin treated enemy soldiers as harshly as this.

[–] FemboyStalin@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Not even Mao or Stalin treated enemy soldiers as harshly as this.

And now the world is run by Nazis. Thank you for pointing out their failures.

[–] BakedBeanEnjoyer@hexbear.net 48 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Imagine blaming the current world on Mao and Stalin not executing low-level conscripts instead of the US literally importing and supporting Nazi leadership and their programs.

Not a hint of materialism on Hexbear is there.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

I mean here you are with some materialism on hexbear, so thanks!

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fascism isn't genetic, it's a result of material conditions. We have fascism today not because we didn't execute every Nazi in 1945, but because today's "capitalism in decay" conditions are similar to those of a century ago.

Executing enemy soldiers instead of imprisoning them is not a winning tactic comrade.

[–] AutoVomBizMarkee@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

Referencing Stalin and Mao like the another poster did, the right way is put the officers and known participants on trial, the rank and file people get reeducation or long imprisonment if they are true believers in the genocide machine. Don’t make martyrs all the time.

Dishonorable discharged from the IDF should look great on a resume anywhere not genocidal in the world

[–] DirtyPair@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

bunch of fuckin' libs in this thread.

it's just a bunch of words on a screen comrade nobody here is gonna be executing anyone jfc

edit: they're concern trolling, aren't they?

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago (3 children)

You're right, this sort of fantasizing is pure aesthetics.

What people are pushing back on is the idea that fantasizing about mass killings is a good aesthetic choice. It's pretty online.

terrible struggle session, next time you want to vent your anger in this way do it in a journal or something don't make it our problem

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

I love all you folx but I'm gonna be honest here. This is just where I go to shitpost, and occasionally get a little too sincere when I briefly forget where I am.

It's not where I go to discuss tactics or nuance.
