What Pisses me off about War
It's not just the bombings
Every time there’s a new war, like the one just started in Iran by the US and Israeli fascists, my first reaction is always disbelief and anger.
Another war? Again? And with the fake WMD excuse, again?
It’s 2026, we have life-saving medical technology; humans have mastered flight and millions of people fly every day; the internet has connected people all over the world, and… the government is still dropping bombs on kids.
At first, the anger is at governments. Those mafia organizations filled with psychopaths who crave power and control above all else. The evil people who want to tell you what to do, and have no problem killing you if you disagree.
Eventually, though, the anger and disbelief moves on from the politicians and soldiers doing the murdering, to… you. And no, probably not actually you. If you’re reading this post, you’re probably as anti-war as me. But you, as in, all the other people out there. The brainwashed fools posting on social media in support of murder.
Those people.
That’s who pisses me off. The ones who worship at the altar of the military industrial complex. The ones who hang American flags in their yards and cheer when bombs fall on innocent people. You.
None of these wars could happen if at least a significant minority, if not an actual majority, of people didn’t support them. Over 80% of Israelis support bombing Iran. Think about that. Over 80% of Israelis are either brainwashed or mentally ill enough to want innocent children to die.
There’s no other way to put it.
Imagine, for a moment, that you’re a parent. You’ve dropped your kids off at school in the morning and you’re heading into work. As you’re driving off, you hear an explosion behind you. A plume of black smoke rises in your rear window.
Your heart sinks.
You drive back to the school, and find it on fire. Rubble, body parts, screaming.
You dig in the rubble for days, and find that all three of your children are dead. Why? Because some piece of shit coward in an airplane 10,000 feet up in the sky pushed a button and dropped a bomb, killing everyone in that school.
I want you to imagine what that would actually feel like. Really think about it. Think about what having everything taken from you, by evil and callous people, would feel like. The grief, the anger, the confusion.
Nobody capable of basic empathy and imagination can support war. It’s simply not possible. The moment you put yourself in the other person’s shoes, all the justifications, the propaganda, the why’s - they all fade into meaninglessness.
War is evil. EVERY war is evil. Every politician that’s ever started a war is evil. Every soldier that’s ever willingly pushed that button is evil (conscription is a gray area). And if I had the comforting belief that a hell existed (I don’t), they’d be in it.
And as long as we’re surrounded by callous, un-empathetic people who support murdering little kids, we simply cannot move forward as a society. Until we figure out how to wake people up and get them to grow a backbone and stop supporting the lies and the murders, how can we build a better society? If we can’t even agree on basic principles like “dropping bombs on kids is bad” - everything else just seems futile.
From the first brothers talked about in the Bible, man has been murdering men for their entire history. At the flood of Noah’s day only one family was found worth saving. The same at Sodom and Gomorrah. And men are (worse) today. We know all government meaning (control of the mind) is evil. Today the country voted biggest threat to world peace in world wide polls each year is the self centered self righteous USA. A country giving glory for its beginnings to a pedophile, rapist and murderer (Christopher Columbus) And glorified its so-called flooding fathers that were propagators of genocide against native Americans. Many were slave holders and were rapists and murderers as well. There have been plenty of incidents with plenty of evidence that this country is evil and yet most of the people in this country support of the evil. They vote for evil politicians. They volunteer for a criminal murderous military and they stand as brain dead lemmings and do acts of worship to a cloth idol that represents and glorifies all of the evil murderous politicians and war mongering leaders such as the over 40 criminals called presidents. There have been too many evils committed by this government to list hereabout let’s look at a few and let it sink in. The My Lai Massacre, The Dresden Bombing, the sanctions used to murder innocent people around the world. Pearl Harbor ,911, weapons of mass destruction and many more. And the criminals in this country still can make the obviously self centered hateful statement( America first). Give me a break!
100% agree!
The politicians, the wars and all that is only a reflection of what the majority of the people project. The root of all this is the individual person and the war (unresolved conflict) inside them. The war inside manifests as the war outside.
For example, many Cambodians living in the villages near the border with Thailand still have what my friend calls Pol Pot syndrome - they are suspicious of their neighbors and don't want them to succeed, they even actively sabotage others, they don't work on themselves or cooperate, etc. And surprise, surprise now there's a border war with Thailand going on for months.
Heal yourself, heal the world.
