Vietnam, Iraq, now Afghanistan. Tragedies beyond comprehension, all of them moral & military failures. Yet we continue to elect the same breed of people & acquiesce to what is now over $750B/yr in military spending. Let’s stop the false respect for all the warmongers in our midst

The brainwashing done to honor and respect military is very deep. It is presented as defense of country and the way we remain free. Until the collapse comes from within.

Pull out of Afghanistan is Vietnam redux.

Don't mistake the absence of war as peace. Those on the sidelines often don't have the same perspective or life experience as those in the midst of oppression.

The patriarchy, as the military industrial complex, has ruled civilization & destroyed many more for millennia. Humans are social in their nature, naturally. Our natures would be more suited to 'social industrial contracts' to grow an inclusive, sustainable & just complex.

Let the neoliberals burn 🔥. “The greatest coup in history [is] the plot by the wealthiest class of people to … return the world to an oligarchy reminiscent of the … days of robber barons and oligarch tycoons.” #Neoliberalism by Jonathan Riley link.medium.com/kj4RrFFAxib

Humans are insane. Democratic voters chose Biden over Bernie. They chose someone who wants to give them so much less over someone who wants to give them so much more. We live in a deeply insane world.

You gotta people to stop believing CNN msnbc fox News and all the MSM first. Otherwise you're just preaching to mindless puppets these people that believe the left is actually the lesser of two evils. That method of thinking is how we got here.
