Oddbean new post about login | logout Call me old fashioned, but I think the U.S. should stop funding endless wars around the world that result in the deaths of millions of people and only serve to enrich corrupt politicians, the Military Industrial Complex, and bankers.
Wow just reported you for alt right hate speech
ICCs (Information Industrial Complex) makes MICs child's play It's #VirtualAge warfare
Blocked.
I don't think "old fashioned" aligns with the fact that the US has always been at war with some country in the past. :)
US should just stop being the armed wing of the global imperial bankster oligarchy
After being at war for 230 out of 248 years since 1776? https://image.nostr.build/c2b02d30972f7a843c6602a45477e68914c7a2e4e14c29ab7222e270085295de.gif

Possibly your finest work sir
Wish it was. Watermark top right.
Well… curating great memes is also work 💪
Problem is that you have set yourselves up as the world police. And you can't just suddenly drop a responsibility that you have taken without leaving an awful mess. For example, a large number of countries have foregone developing a nuke since they are under the US/Nato nuclear umbrella. Remove the umbrella and you get a whole bunch of new wars, and also many more countries feeling the need to develop a nuke. I don't really like the US hegemony and the financial system it is based on, but I prefer it to Mad Max world. Fine, clean up your act, and avoid CIA ops to overthrow governments and run drugs etc. But pull out of the other things very carefully.
Most wars since 1945 have been proxy wars, with both sides funded by a Great Power. "World Police" are just as unaccountable, lawless and self-serving as the very worst domestic police, and for the same reasons. If instead every village had a nuke, wars would be few, brief, and used as talking points for generations. (Nuclear Winter was always a lie. )
Damn you really just out here sayin it n shit. Wild idea. Crazy.
Old fashion? 🤔 War has been around since Time started via the funds of the masses through religion or government only Bitcoin can fix this
