 Great post!  It feels as if there are very few people that truly take an antiwar stance.  The culture is so brainwashed to join a team, don the pom poms, fly the flag, and cheer it to "victory".  Dennis Kucinich was on to something with a Dept of Peace in his platform. 

IMO, most wars are not good for the people, but instead benefit the few.  And that seems obvious, but then why do we allow it?    Per Assange and Orwell, the goal is not successful war, the goal is endless war... because we've always been at war with "Eastasia", right?!

And endless fiat helps enable endless war.  I remember inspirational videos from Andreas Antonopoulos and Roger Ver discussing the power of bitcoin to help end this cycle (Sadly those two crashed and burned.).  That notion helps keep me a btc believer.
