I’m sorry for contributing to the climate crisis and capitalist exploitation in the imperial periphery. At the time I felt I had no choice and didn’t realize the implications. Make better choices than I did and refuse to join the military.

The correct response: FTFY

Nope, you wanna push Putin's propaganda. That means I get to disregard everything you say. I owe you nothing.

Putin, (and Russia), is a capitalist imperialist just like the neoliberals in America. He wants his own capitalist hegemony. He rationalizes this by claiming America is worse.

You rationalize your decisions by thinking Trump supporters would do worse in your position.

You’re no better than Putin.

Edit: Since it was deleted. Your original rationalization is flawed. Joining the military does not take the place of a right-wing nut job. The military will recruit you both.
