The education system functions to indoctrinate, privilege, and filter.

If there's one thing that I learned from grad school, it's that talented people will be made dependent and subservient to death and doom for money... But more importantly because that's the social system they've been funneled into. They don't see any alternatives.

I completely lost respect for an intern when I found out he was going to a weapons company next.

I laughed and upvoted the meme but then I had to find it again and double check to see if it specified a country.

I'd say depends on which one and what lobby work they have done. If it is from the US or Russia, it is probably a big no-no.

If it is a European or South American defense contractor or weapons manufacturer, it varies.

The Devil vs an A10, who would win?

That might be a good buddy comedy about the rapture where Hell rises to the surface but the US Military's actually got it under control somehow. Like a damn minotaur comes through the fences and swings a helicopter into the pavement by it's rudder, but a dude in a turret on a humvee shreds it like swiss cheese and all the goblins storming the gate stop cold and kneel with their hands on the back of their head very nervously.

Someone was telling me about a series about a similar premise, which ended with the US military bombing Hell with all the civilians in it, out of essentially religious fanaticism.

Feels more fitting.

...oh, oh, there's an RPG setting i read like this recently!..like magi-punk high fantasy mashed-up with the legions of hell and heaven allying with various nation-states in open industrial warfare...
