I mean I only care about people’s feelings insofar as they affect material results. I don’t think there will be a revolution any time soon but the obsession with moral atonement like “”“”““leftism””“”“” is a religion is entirely counterproductive. The demand for self-flagellation among former troops is part of a broader trend on the western left, which in it’s impotence has latched onto moralizing as it’s primary focus. I don’t think that spending years investing time in disparaging and admonishing troops is going to end well when the time comes. We don’t live in a place and time where angry masses with semi auto rifles can take on the largest and most technologically advanced military in the world. It wouldn’t be like Vietnam or Afghanistan, it would be a conflict of life and death for the Imperialist forces and they would treat it as such. Revolution in the imperial core would necessitate major defections from Imperialist security forces, most likely from those that are colonized people themselves.
