Imagine if we imagined a world without war within 100 years and reverse engineered from there. Some people think that’s a naïve idea, but I think what’s naïve is to think the species will necessarily survive another hundred years if we don’t at least try. 1/3

We should have peace games as well as war games. We should have a peace Academy as well as a military Academy. We should have an army of peace builders as well as an army of military fighters. 2/3

The biggest threat to the survival of the species is our unwillingness to expand our imaginations, to even consider the possibility that there might be a better way. We keep indulging the magical thinking that it’s someone else’s responsibility to repair the world. But it’s not. It is ours. 3/3

You assume a world where there are no other assholes that start them. Unfortunately they exist no matter how many times you may chant kumbaya

Voting Blue is voting for war.

This is the crap that makes it impossible to take you seriously - you’re disturbingly naive about realities. You act like people haven’t been trying for literally thousands of years to end wars.

When you have so many self-identified "good Christians" believing they will be taken up to heaven when they die, they won't care what happens to the earth or what happens to everyone else, to those they call "godless" or just plain "not my kind!"

Stop dragging our species into American blood lust & the perverse desire of your country to never stop creating or being in wars. Americans have this unique ability to throw their hands in the air and say “whatcha gonna do?” instead of holding your filthy politicians to account.

Use a Gini-solver (stochastic search of stable inequality gradient - keeps economic inequality under control) voted by using democracy.

Nobody thought it was naive 100 years ago (WWI), or again years later (WWII). Perhaps it's not naive, but rather that we've been MISLED into believing that MIGHT (Conflict after Conflict) and MILITARY ENTERPRISEING was/is THE SOLUTION! A U.S. Department of Defense makes SENSE!

We’d be close to the jetsons by now, if we didn’t elect corrupt capitalists for over 100 years. #DisruptTheCorrupt #democracyhypocrisy @UAW @ShawnFainUAW @Rashad_Richey @profwolff @BernieSanders @ninaturner @cenkuygur @taylorswift13
