War is always powerful people making up fake reasons for poor people to kill each other.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

Capitalism is working great if you ignore how it\u2019s about to destroy our ecosystem and kill everything.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

Socialism is the collective\u2019s best self-defense against sociopaths.<\/p>\n

In the old days the rulers would kill those who criticized the dominant power structure. Now they just make sure such people never ascend to prominent platforms or positions of influence.<\/p>\n

Imperialists see the American people as nothing more than local fauna who need to be kept from interfering in the business of the empire. That\u2019s why keeping Americans poor and ignorant has so much institutional support; it keeps the local fauna away from the gears of the machine.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

The only way to justify support for western interventionist foreign policy is to believe that western interventionism is ever actually humanitarian in nature. The only way to believe western interventionism is ever humanitarian in nature is to be an intellectual infant.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t buy into the narrative that Democrats are resisting leftward movement in order to appease Republicans. It\u2019s so much worse than that: they\u2019re not appeasing Republicans, they\u2019re appeasing their own donors.<\/p>\n
