Putin offered a ceasefire deal. It was turned down.
Hamas has offered multiple ceasefire deals. All turned down.
China is calling for peace talks.
You’re told these ppl are your enemies. Meanwhile the US is amping up to send your kids to war. Who’s the actually enemy here?
Trump isn't evil because he's another Hitler, he's evil because he's another Obama. SO much emphasis gets placed on how different Trump is from other US presidents, when all the evidence of his actual presidency showed the most evil thing about him is how similar he is to them.

Artificial scarcity is a feature of capitalism. Empty houses surround homeless people, tons of food waste encircle hungry people & unused medical resources sit idle near dying people. A commodified world that "takes necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes"-MLK
Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nearly perfect in its immorality, which makes the size of her audience all the more ominous & symptomatic as we enter a curious new phase in our society. To justify & extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil.”

🤔The result of being dominated and manipulated by an empire built on lies in a post-truth world?

The House passed a Pentagon budget instead of funding healthcare, public education, and infrastructure.
Start framing the cost in what it costs each of us.

I don’t believe anything. I know taxation is theft on the grandest of scales. Especially when it’s taxation without representation. The thieves aren’t providing what the people want and need, but are using that stolen wealth to crush credible dissent both domestically and abroad.

Ask an American what he thinks about the "American Empire," and he would get stumped. Doesn't matter how educated!
'Wha...wha...what? No, we are just like... ya know... spreading freedom and democracy... and fighting the bad guys."
It's like propaganda for a 5th grader!
At 16 at my high-school army recruiters came put on a show in the cafeteria trying to hype up kids to sign up to go fight for their country. They set up a table in the hallway and for reference that was me in the picture below when they tried to hand me a fucking card I laughed.

On this day in 1964 was the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was an altercation between the USS Maddox and 3 North Vietnamese boats. The US government lied about what happened to justify our involvement in the Vietnam War and nobody was ever held accountable for the misinformation.
