This war also does not reflect the will of the people. Nearly 70% of Americans oppose another war and reject the endless cycle of military interventions carried out in their name.

The world does not need another US-made catastrophe. Venezuela deserves sovereignty. Latin America deserves peace. And people in the United States deserve a future not stolen by endless war.

    I’ve always disliked comments like this. Like, you’re not wrong, but you’re also just kinda delivering defeatism wrapped in a cloak of “telling it like it is.” If you’re gonna say something like this, at least include a call to action for change or something. Even if it feels meaningless, it’s gotta be more meaningful than just saying “yep, we’re fucked.”

      I agree. I’m as pessimistic as they come but I’m starting to realize that futile resistance beats defeatism and resignation. Don’t just fight in spite of the fact that you’re likely to lose, fight because you know you’re likely lose. I mean, if I’m going to lose, I might as well go down fighting.

        What are you going to do? Or can you not say without self-incrimination? If you don’t reply I’ll just assume you’re doing something based like planning a CEO assassination
