And I'm telling you this. Until the corruption issue is dealt with the united state is not capable of winning a war. It doesn't matter how good our technology is, it doesn't matter how much money we have or how many people we have. If our leadership is shit we will lose.
The fish rots from the head my friend and if you want to maintain your pride your going to have to deal with the rot and stop excusing it.
he's part of the rot. He'll always excuse it.
This guy is literally in here like "yeah they totally get held accountable, what do you think they use interns for?"
And he isn't joking with you.
Zach is one of the biggest examples of cognitive dissonance you can think of. He wants to be on the same side as us. He watches crowder and such, and believes in a lot of the same things we do. But he is also a loyal soldier and believes things that are completely contradictory to that. Somehow he puts this all together in his head and doesn't see that he and his colleagues are an active part of the corrupt system he often talks about.
So he will talk about how people are totally held accountable while saying they use interns as scape goats as an example...and he's so brainwashed by the system that he's part of, that the ridiculousness of this doesn't even click in his head.
I'm not calling anyone a Nazi, but If America went full Nazi, Zach would be like "come on guys l'm against Nazis as much as you are, just get on the bus, this is just how it is dude. Don't worry they'll fire an intern over this one day"
Kinda like how he was anti vax right up until they told him to get one and suddenly "oh it's not so bad," and now he's anti booster, and you know as soon as they tell him to get one, the boosters won't be so bad.
Don't expect any sort of logic or consistency out of Zach. Part of him has his head on right and understands how things are, but the other half of him is entirely brainwashed by the corrupt system that he is a part of.
One of these days he won't be able to avoid this internal conflict anymore, and that'll be a bad time for him.
