As you are acutely aware, it takes a great deal of nuance and moral flexibility to consistently be on the right side of history.

I know, I know.

When the one guy was slaughtering tens of millions of his own citizens and the other guy was banging his shoe on the dais and declaring that he would bury us, they were the good guys. Today? f-16s motherfluffer!

Ukraine by your logic was asking for it. Especially when being extorted into weakness by the last administration and Rudy.

good video, thanks for sharing, Feral.

RIP anti-war movement in America

among other takeaways, I guess.

If you want to re-invigorate the antiwar movement and throttle American militarial aggression, reinstitute the selective service, i.e., the draft. In my experience, nothing focuses the American electorate's attention like the random plucking of 18 y/o Americans to go fight and die, > 58,000 in Viet Nam, in a war Americans don't understand and have little interest in. For reference, see Japhy's video above.

I'd like to thank all the republican fascists, and their enablers. Strong work:

My biggest fear is that you are correct.
