      Like Killmonger and Ross are both like "America is an evil entity that causes immense suffering globally" but where Ross approaches that with a kind of milquetoasty "but at least _I'm_ doing my best" philosophy, for Killmonger the violence and victimization is precisely the point

      That's why Killmonger _could_ serve in a cohesive unit with other SEALs, who are in reality closer in temperament to MAGAs like Dan Crenshaw, despite clearly being very conscious of institutional white supremacy It doesn't MATTER, as long as he wants to kill motherfuckers

      That's the whole thing, right, Killmonger is a no-hoper, enlisted-track nihilist, he joined the military to hurt people because all he wants to do is hurt people and he found the best capacity in which to be put to that purpose Agent Ross is a chill ex-jock with a college degree

      Heh. Have you ever read Le Carre's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"?

      I have not, I hear it get mentioned a lot though and then I read the wiki synopsis and get the reference and then promptly forget what it's about until the next time it gets referenced

      It's the anti-Bond. Le Carre worked for MI5 and MI6 and the book is pretty much an antidote for Bond-style thrillers. It shows all the flaws of British intelligence and how the whole damn thing is a bunch of fuck-ups and misfits, designed by upper-class twits.

      It's never been publicly confirmed that he despised Fleming, but it is confirmed that he despised the general Hollywood depiction of spy shit. So the book is about the sordid ugliness of an operation.

      And, it just happens to be EXTREMELY well-written. It's right up your alley. Your apt cynicism about military and intelligence service would be well rewarded by it. Also has one of my favorite depictions of lesbians-in-spy-service. Poor Connie.

      I really should just quote Wikipedia: "Most of le Carré's books are spy stories set during the Cold War (1945–91) and portray British Intelligence agents as unheroic political functionaries aware of the moral ambiguity of their work and engaged more in psychological than..."

      "...physical drama. The novels emphasise the fallibility of Western democracy and of the secret services protecting it, often implying the possibility of east–west moral equivalence." Anyway, for espionage that doesn't sound like a Clancy novel, le Carre is the way to go.

      The Spy Who Came In From the Cold is the classic depiction of a spy as a miserable, broken person with a miserable, broken life

          You've gotta be some kind of fucked up if your job is to lie to all the people around you all the time Either you took it out of some sense of duty and got fucked up by it or you were attracted to it because you were fucked up
