Russian jet flies within 25 feet of U.S. spy plane in "unsafe" high-speed maneuver, Navy says

"I kinda want world war 3 to happen so that it can irreversibly scar the current generation into a state of regret and self-reflection that will make them less stupid. that or turn them rabid with ptsd so the cops have to put them down for committing mass murder. Either way it's a win because they either lose their arrogance to the unadulterated, mind-ripping horrors of war, or they become so deranged from their inability to cope that their arrogance gets them killed really quickly.

war is a great way to tame humanity, just keep punishing them with it persistently enough and the rest happens naturally. an entire generation acting uppity and lacking self-awareness? force them to kill people as a sniper, watching as the heads of their enemies explode like wet cantaloupe behind a scope, and with each wet cracking sound the realization that they're not actually, nor likely ever will be, good people slowly creeps up on them, digging its nails deeper and deeper into their bleeding soul until they remember the faces of every victim they ever put down in their darkest nightmares. wanna confront a man with his own failings? force him to commit a literal massacre in the name of the greater good and watch as he slowly, meticulously breaks down with every man he stabs and every life he takes, as that idiotic, hypocritical self-image of a good person is torn apart by the realization that if he was truly a good person, he would have aggressively disobeyed his orders and accepted death at the hands of his commanding officer for disobeying.

People these days are too soft, they need to be reminded that their pretentious egotistical self-perception is only a reality if it's put to a brutal, grueling, merciless test at the hands of a wicked uncaring government hell-bent on using them like human resources. americans are just pet dogs who think they're wolves, rare is the breed that's willing to disobey authority if it means taking lives. rarer still are those willing to die for the right to stay a good person. Most just give up and accept that they're terrible or try to witlessly justify their murderous actions. "I defended my country" says the guy who killed people who ALSO defended his country. how many nazis after the war claimed they were just "following orders" and were gutted for it like the dogs they are? in the end, there are only two sorts of people in this world, cowards who will ironically kill thousands to survive, and brave men willing to die to protect them. war is a test to see just how far into that madness one is willing to go for a country they don't actually believe in. and the few who do, they die like the fools they are or spend the rest of their lives haunted and feeling cold. they never brag about it, they just brush it off and try to look at themselves in the mirror, recognizing that their pretentious belief is exactly that. an excuse they gotta feed themselves to stay stable. I for one find that cheap act to be absolutely hilarious!"

-The joker probably.
