    As an American, fucking good.

    I know this is a horrendously unpopular belief in the selfish, sociopathic civilization we’ve made, where we’re comfortable starving our own citizens for not being good enough capital batteries, but I don’t equate amassing the most capital as making you the most right or most good in a conflict.

    I in fact feel less safe that the biggest guns against humanity’s heads are controlled by the wealthiest, most sociopathic human nations.

    Capitalists are very clear about how little human life means to them in the face of new profit opportunities.

    It’s a small blessing that throwing endless money at war doesn’t necessarily decide every battle.

      The United States was already designing military systems designed to prevent drone attacks. We expected those types of attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria but it did not occur.
