      you're probably right but I choose to believe that they are intentionally more malicious than is necessary because they enjoy getting away with evil

      Oh the State is definitely in the business of that. Want to see some real evil shit look up how the US Army uses modern marketing funnels + scifi movies to do hypertargeted recruitment

      strong prior that the army's recruitment strategies are about as disconnected from outcomes as everything else the government does

      Not sure what you mean by that...? That the org is too big to appreciate what it’s doing? That’s probably true; still the reality is the most gullible of bros are funneled and patriotpilled into thinking they’re joining a glorious battle of good vs evil

      you described the recruitment as "hypertargeted" but it is seems unlikely that the military is actually "hypertargeting" very well except by accident; I doubt that there is a tight feedback loop from recruiting outcomes to the people doing the targeting

      Replying to @AlexGodofsky @visakanv and

      army recruitment is about the least hypertargeted thing there is. You have a zillion NCOs in strip malls around the country coming up with their own ways to try to meet the numbers. I mean think about it if you need to hire like 100,000 people a year you can't be "targeted"

      at least in those cases my supposition was false, though - they do have strong incentive based on actual outcomes. (but they're not the ones handling deals with filmmakers or the NFL etc.)

      no, they're driving around to high school career fairs and stuff. Or hilariously there was one guy who would try to poach people out of my school's ROTC detachment and convince cadets to enlist

      in my home town the army recruiter office was in the same strip mall building as the DMV and they offered advertised in the DMV waiting room with "you can drive tanks right across the hall!" it probably worked really well actually
