"Connor O’Malleys best work yet"
I've heard that so, so, so many special forces people are conspiracy nuts who are into Q or other equally deranged shit. Makes you wonder if they specifically feed them a drip of carefully crafted lies that drives them mad or what it is exactly. Maybe it is as you mention all the warcrimes they do fuck up and fragment their psyche.
I think it's mostly just that they're pretty stupid right wing guys. The difference between them and your garden variety chud is that they have military training and have gone through the conditioning that brainsculpts people into mass murderers.
Being in special forces, from what I've heard from people who have been around them, is 95% just being stupid and/or deranged enough to put up with the kind of bullshit that differentiates it from more typical doorkicker boot shit. Most of that comes from rabid nationalism, but given that most of these dorks are chuds you also have bleed in from conspiracy theorists.
According to one of those SOF youtubers who recently did a video telling his audience not to hold SOF influencers up as heros, or hope your children grow up to become like them- he described the selection process as finding people on the sociopathic/narcissistic spectrum who are basically capable of doing fucked up shit, not feeling bad and being able to compartmentalise or rationalise that behavior effectively enough to not be too dangerous when re-integrated into society.
Q and most conspiracy stuff really hooks people on that spectrum too, I think, being in the know, being better than the sheeple masses etc. Add in an incentive to feel like all the time you spent learning how to be an efficient murderer is useful "just in case" etc. I can see why it attracts them.
I have a friend who has flip flopped all over the ideological spectrum over the years. They are over their most chuddy shit now and despite being a south asian trans girl, most of their friendship circle are ex-SOF. "They're good guys." etc. That friend has never been mentally stable and was deep in the Q hole for a while so I imagine that's why she so easily bonds with the boys from the 101st drag you out of bed brigade (or whatever.)
Literally Parallax Corporation stuff then. Not surprising. But all of that makes sense.
I only pay attention to this stuff very peripherally but I'm watching a video right now apparently the whole spec ops influencer world is in shambles right now because, surprise surprise, they are all unrepentant liars who have been telling bullshit stories, or other people's stories, to drum up business for their post-service "learn 2 shoot the bad guy" classes and brand endorsements etc.
Never believe the word of a special forces guy, I'm sure there are some ~~good ones~~ honest ones but they are by nature selected to be the sort of person who will lie to your face for personal gain and are incapable of feeling remorse. By design. They don't even need to brainwash the empathy out of them, it's just a useful portion of the normal human population that gets recruited.
Your boss is probably one too. Almost every single person I've worked for has been a high masking narcissist or sociopath.
