November 7, 2025 / Sean Griobhtha / Crossing Rubicons / Op-ed - This report was first instigated by the content of X Rubicon and the process by which young people, especially men, are drawn into systems of war pride and violence, indoctrinated at pre-adult age before mental and moral breaking systems are fully developed and engaged.
The obfuscation that war and the military are a personal opportunity for learning and professional advancement is a longstanding valuable propaganda method, not just for military recruitment, but for the corporate ideology that demands the availability of the standing violent force. Just as the military has spent years and mountains of money in psychological studies to “improve” rate and accuracy of fire in combat, in essence suppression of human natural tendencies, with applicability regardless of all circumstances, instigations, and motivations for war and killing; so the military, with corporate assistance, has spent the same time, energy. and capital in the same field with the addition of entertainment to present the military as a justifiable alternative to the harsh nature of capitalistic society — a “brotherhood of warriors” with food and bed versus the “dog eat dog” civilian society. All this boils down to manipulation, primarily of economically disadvantaged young men.
