    I mean that’s what my future looks like and I didn’t choose to work as a goon for capital. Most people alive today in the west are likely to be poor as shit in old age for a variety of economic reasons which do not justify joining a fascist paramilitary.

      I get it and neither of you are wrong but given the choice between keep doing your job vs. don’t do it and suddenly give up a cushy retirement I feel like the scale skews heavily towars the latter. Now there’s ample reason to get mad at this but this is why I propose an exit program - works along the same lines as any other of those.
