Real America is currently trying to reclaim precious ground that we have lost through our negligence in forgetting that our wars were fought in order to sustain truth in the face of advancing lies that absolutely rob us of our freedom
We could get into a big, living room brawl about “Why do there have to be wars?!” And we used to, you know, when we were kids who didn’t know any history. And in the 60s-70s that argument was finally allowed to progress to the extent that it did - largely because the music industry showed the rest of the business world how much money could be made from the products of the unprecedented perfect storms created by 20th century sheltered naïveté.
I know there are a bunch of words here strung into what resemble sentences, but what the hell is this?
This is incoherent.
The anti-war movement was right on several counts in the 60s and 70s. First, it was killing 100k youths who were somebodies children. Second, we were killing lots of civilians in south-east Asian (not on purpose). And we were not doing anything worthwhile. We did not have the ability to hold the land without killing hundreds of thousands of people.
Life was not perfect in Vietnam before the war. It was not perfect after the war. And it was horrible during the war. Comparing it to other south-east Asian countries Vietnam has done ok without us.
America needs to understand that its own war machine likes to be used because thats how it makes money. You can’t sell bullets and missiles unless you fire the old ones every once and a while. So the American military infrastructure will always suggest that we need to start a war. And we need to question whether we can improve anything with tanks and missiles. Might does make right in this world. But might also spends a huge amount of our money and it kills a huge amount of people. Is Ratheon’s stock price really worth all the government debt and death.
“the music industry showed the rest of the business world how much money could be made from the products of the unprecedented perfect storms created by 20th century sheltered naïveté.”
Lots of truth in that sentence. And its cute, too.
