Not enough rubes are signing up to die for this decaying empire. What to do? I know! Let's make life even more untenable and miserable. Surely they will then want to defend the homeland!

I wish westoids a very "realize the government is oppressing you by enabling corporations."

If you don't trust the government (which is fair), then why aren't you realizing that the elites are the perfect vector for a loophole. "You see, we're not oppressing you because business is doing it instead. Businesses are run by private citizens just like you, so if he didn't enable them, THAT would be oppression."

I swear, morale has totally dropped from the ruling class' vocabularly. FDR knew he had to make some concessions to workers to make the case for capitalism.

I'd suggest drafting 4chan chuds since they won't shut up about the bad bad brown people, but I realized giving a bunch of far-right demons military training is a horrible idea, that's how we got ISIS.

unironically yeah. the military has a way higher tolerance for hiring sub-optimal, undercompensated folks, because they're allowed to treat their labor like prisoners/slaves & retain them as long as they wish. the soft officers might have a bit of a preference for motivated, ideological soldiers but they really only need them for officers, they can whip the enlisted that only signed up to fill their belly
