No like seriously. What the hell are these commenters talking about? I know the Trump admin’s been gutting some federal agencies here and there, but isn’t his admin full of natsec ghouls like that defense secretary? The dude is openly working with tech/surveillance oligarchs and neolibs still cling to the delusion that the bourgeoise does not control the state.

Also, they are complaining that Lockheed Martin hasn’t tried to shoot Trump for his shenanigans but he literally had 2 assassination attempts on him in recent months (over Ukraine lmao). Is history really something that only “tankies” are capable of remembering?

linky thing

    Its a ridiculous straw man. He makes out like the hundreds of executives and millions of shareholders involved in the Military Industrial Complex are a monolith with only one opinion.

    Things aren’t changing in ukraine because Trump is president, Trump is president because the balance of opinions in the MIC and other capitalists has changed.

      Ironically, this kind of thinking, that their enemies are a “hive mind” who are always in agreement on everything is a major hallmark of conspiratorial thinking.
