That

In my experience that’s exactly it. They’re the same kinds of people who also say “You know, if I was an attractive young girl I would love to make money staying home and showing my tits on the internet for money.” But when confronted with the reality of it all they would rather demean people who actually do that and make more money than them.

The fact is a lot of them are threatened by women who make more money than them while also feeling like those women owe them something for being attractive. Like I said, these people do “shake their tits for the rich.” In one way or the other. It’s only that the people who are actually shaking their tits are the honest ones while the bootlickers cry for the boot to stomp down harder.

Well yeah. But to them that isn’t “Shaking their tits” it’s “Rubbing elbows with the social elite to climb the corporate ladder.”

Selling your soul is still selling your soul. Doesn’t matter if it’s to the devil or their lieutenants.

We all shake our tits for the rich in one way or the other. Some are just a little more honest to themselves about it.

Ahhh I see. Thank you!

I’m OOTL. What Linux thing are you talking about?

You’re a model in 1993. In order brush elbows with the elite, make connections and continue finding work you are given an invite by your modelling agency. You attend because this can only be good for your career.

You get sexually harrassed.

You didn’t ask for this. You’re trying to make a living. Titans of the industry see you as a bag of meat to toss around and abuse.

“You were asking for it.”

Certainly! A lot of this is old knowledge that’s been rattling around in my head from old books and lessons I’ve taken.

To start here’s a wiki link to summarize the Crucified Soldier.

Here’s a link to an article by The National discussinf Canadian and German relations leading to Canadian brutality.

As well a short wiki article talking about trench raiding, namely referencing a book about Canadians in the bibliography section.

Alrernatively, here’s a link from the Canadian Legion talking about Canada developing night raiding as a tactic on the modern battlefield.

I could probably dredge up some other information if you’d like but I think these are a nice starting point. From there it should be easy to make your own searches or narrow down your interests. I hope this helps.

I think I would! Thank you for the recommendation.

Canadians had a vendetta against the germans and refused to even acknowledge their humanity on a whole.

Canadians were the recipients of some of the most brutal german assaults, gas attacks and night raids. As well there was a rumour early in the war that the germans crucified a Canadian in no mans land. Since then all bets were off.

Canadian soldiers used to throw tins of food into German trenches during quiet periods then when the calls came for more they would throw grenades instead. Ensuring they killed as many Germans as possible.

Canadians also perfected night stealth raids where they would sneak into German lines and cut the throats of every other man. Leaving the Germans to wake up to their numbers decimated without a sign of the enemy.

At one conference at the Hague the Germans promised to stop using gas weapons if the Canadians agreed to stop using birdshot in their shotguns and the Canadians said no.

Canadians really don’t do war kindly.

Who are you people with more than like 10 tabs open at once? Do you guys just not close something after you’re done reading it?

In case anyone confuses him with Linus Torvalds:

When I look at American politics it really seems like almost all modern problems can be blamed on Nixon and Reagan.

It very well could be NATO doctrine. Militaries figured out real quick that you have to keep troops alive long enough to fight. Whereas it seems civilian workers are treated worse.

Funny how the military, being an innately fascist system (meritocracy) also happens to be the most socialist system many countries have. Room and board, fair wages, a viable path to promotion, medical care all in return for your work and possibly your life.

The military radicalized me to democratic socialism.

Okay, sweet. Then that’s identical to the system I’ve been told about for Canadian Forces and similar to what I’ve seen with other militaries. Crazy how that works. Especially seeing American states that are so pro military and anti-labour fail to meet the basic criteria even the DoD follows.

I’ve been told that the armies in many countries use sliding scales of work-rest cycles based on temperature and humidity. For example in Canada, above 35°C you may only have half the crew working 30 minutes on 30 minutes off. Meaning you have 50% of the work being done 100% of the time. Hydration and heat stroke checks are strongly enforced as well. The American army does similar if I’ve been told correctly.

How American civilians and labourers are not allowed these very same standards is insane to me. People die because of this shit and unions are just okay with this?

Belle province, all dressed steamies and an “Italian” Poutine. My god.

Sure as fuck ain’t Italian or a good meat sauce but as a combo that shit slaps.

Nope! It’s still used almost everywhere. Commonly used as a backup on demolition setups like a ring-main.

Not so sure about civilian applications in demolitions or pyrotechnics but most global militaries still use it from what I’ve read.
