    FREED FROM CONTAINMENT: E-Girls In My Military? It’s More Likely Than You Think

    FREED FROM CONTAINMENT: E-Girls In My Military? It’s More Likely Than You Think

    From February 12th, 2023: If you were educated in the Failure Lorenz School of Journalism, it makes sense that you would see like three videos on TikTok and decide it’s indicative of a sweeping trend. After all, you only ever exist by hating outside the clubs you can’t get in. We take a critical look at this alleged “e-girl military psyop” trend and, using the immortal science, declare the US military to be in its flop era. Empire in decline vibes, indeed. Put your dicks away and pick up a copy of Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism instead. While you’re at it, cancel your subscription to the New Dork Crimes and give your money to us instead.
