One of the oldest playbooks in the history of barnyard animals. This playbook has been used for centuries and continues to this day. In order to sell a war, a politician "needs to lie" to its own people. They have to get their people to hate the other side and convince them they are under immediate threat. You know, Colin Powell holding up a vial of laundry detergent saying Saddam Hussein was planing to use chemical weapons on Americans. And the barnyard animals fell for it.
But people are starting to wake up to this by now saying, that country who you want me to hate has never done anything to me. Why don't you Mr or Mrs politician put on your military uniform and go hit the front lines?
To his credit Muhammad Ali saw thru all this crap back in the 60's when he refused to fight in the Vietnam War by saying, “I ain’t got no quarrel with those Vietcong.”
I think the USA is well on its way to become Libya. Hell, we could even make the argument that America is already a turd world nation with its growing homeless and drug infested population, and the near elimination of the middle class.
Look at who's in charge in our government. You have freakshows like Rachel Levine and other transgender individuals in the military. Many of the alpha males in the military did not sign up for that shit and are vocal about leaving. How about the other freakshow, transvestite Sam Brinton?
Anyone think America has the barking dogs to fight an actual war without one of these freaks stressing about having a broken nail during an actual gun battle? I sure as hell don't.
I don't mind people being stupid. I expect it. But what I do have a problem with is stupid people having the vote. They vote for stupid things that everyone (including the non stupid) end up paying for.
The Men Who Run the World feel the same!!! As if they'd ever allow the barnyard animals to make any important decisions... Powerful people are all about control.. and democracy is kryptonite to them
It’s very easy to be generous and nice when resources are plentiful and humans don’t breed too much. That will never happen. An accelerating consumption rate and human greed is responsible for all wars; civilization is unsustainable anyways unless you somehow magically conjured up genius physicists to exploit energy from alternate dimensions.
The world is diminishing in energy and resources, whilst global populations are rising and climate refugees are flooding across borders causing political turmoil, and in that turmoil authoritarians are taking advantage to power grab by causing more war. What, amongst all of this chaos causes war?
Excessive human greed and breeding. There is no need to war if the world was cooperative, resourceful, intelligent and self-limiting. All wars are to control the flow of resources and utilize them. Westerners have higher intellect than the rest of the world, hence why they receive a larger share by merit and by preference over third world countries. Ask humans why they keep burdening others with mindless consumption.
They always want more... I have a few employees working for me... salary increases get determined in January.... they'd be quite upset if I told them I have new policy to combat greed... I am not giving anyone a raise....
Now imagine if I said I am cutting your salaries by 25% ... cuz you really don't need that money cuz you just waste it on buying more stuff... of course every single one of them would quit and find another job if I did that
Anyone who disagrees --- feel free to report to work on Monday and ask for a salary decrease
Yes if only 8 billion humans would hold hands and sing KOOMbaya all would be awesome.
The thing is ... I assume that you are living a relatively cushy life... you have plenty to eat... a home.. a car... a job... you live in a secure safe country... you have medical care.... good roads... you went to a decent school
If you got what you are asking for ... an equitable division of resources... spread amongst 8 billion+ humans equally.... you are gonna need to take a HUGE hit to your standard of living .... cuz the majority of people on the planet live in poverty...
So those of us in the winning countries... would get hammered ... if we want to drag these billions out of poverty.
Are you ok with that? You can actually start by donating 2/3s of your income and assets to poor families in the 3rd world.

He knew back then politicians love to sell war!
The thing is ... if too many Americans did what Ali did... America would end up like Libya...

Libya is gonna look like a paradise... in the very near future

Yeah, they don’t let us decide elections
And it's the government's job to make their people "stupid aka barnyard animals" so they can vote for stupid things and stupid people.

“Greed is good.” Gordon Gekko, “Wall Street”
Everyone is greedy.
