But they still supported the institution no? Hitler's cook can make the same claim
Sure but by this logic every person who has paid taxes to the US, or imported things from the US, is culpable to a degree in war crimes. Is it kind of true? Yes. Is it a useful point? Not really, beyond pointing out the boundless capability of capital to abstract and distance its effects.
Your argument is "everyone is a sinner", what i am saying is being a hilter's cook or a deployed us army cook both are both conscious decision. A large chunk of taxes goes to building roads + other services. What is largely the effect of being deployed US army cook?
Can't believe i have to explain all this, i thought most people would be able to understand this without explanation
Is it a conscious decision if it's the only employment you can secure? The system we live under is designed precisely to coerce people into work that they otherwise wouldn't do under threat of starvation. There's a reason army recruiters go to poor schools.
Any cog in a looking machine is a killer, even if it isn't a bullet.
And neither were drafted.
Why go so far? Hitler's only confirmed kill in WWII was Hitler, great guy by their logic. Or not so great because he shot the great pacifist leader Hitler.
