>>670 just mocking the "military am dumb" edgelord using the partial statement of someone I briefly met in my childhood who, although very intelligent, is today a neoreactionary (I think?) edgelord (not that he wasn't then, either). Hard to get a read on someone who talks about cultural and theological concerns in sometimes brilliant, other times awful ways... on Twitter... many many tweets a day. Yeah.

To paraphrase one of his recent takes (and he seemed serious enough; alas, his usual tone is at once both florid and grave, a joy to read and infuriating to think about), some life situations have to be objectively better than others, otherwise improvement wouldn't be possible. I personally agree with neither him (if indeed he does consider that to apply to his earlier statement) nor your statement. I think there are manifold worthy and un*worthy ways of life. I cannot accept the premise that the latter do not exist; I can accept that it is not up to humans to sort *all of it out, however.
