Lemmy is hilarious with this silly and clearly extreme takes. Upvotes for no one wants to be associated with the feds, downvotes for ehh maybe not everyone agrees with that. The fbi has thousands of fucking employees, and even more applicants who don’t get chosen. The overall “feds”, the federal government, has millions — clearly people want to work for them.
Yeh it’s not wrong to have different opinions but goddamn is kinda boring to have the same views, arguments, discussions, etc. As much as they like to think otherwise, most people on here are in the definite minority irl.
The US Federal Government is the single largest employer in the country if not the world. That’s true whether you’re talking about just the DOD, just the civilians, or both.
While I think you’re right, this is your opinion, not everybody elses

I think a lot of it is either folks on the edges of society (their opinions) or very young idealistic folks.
If I’ve generalized someone into one of those 2 buckets wrongly, well, it’s cause half of Lemmy acts like it.
Mind, it’s not that it’s wrong to have a non-mainstream opinion, or to be young, only that it generates a particular flavor of discourse lol

yes, there are literally millions of bootlickers. Overwhelmingly, they aren’t on Lemmy.
Wonder why? /s
You think working for the government makes you a bootlicker? Is there an ounce of nuance in your world? 😂
They’re here, they’re just lurking
I wonder what the breakdown is between:
IMO “want to work for them” conceals a LOT of people who’d rather do something else but feel like they’re wearing golden handcuffs of some sort.
