Push back on the idea that “Iran” could possibly be your enemy. Iran is a nation of 81 million individuals, most of whom are just like you and me. That the hired press has already flattened an entire nation into one singleminded entity is an act of silent but ruthless propaganda.
Many of us are equipped with nonsensical vocabularies and are thus doomed before we even start.

“America” and “Iran” being “at war” just means that corporations (alongside national leaders and the hired press) are converting human life into capital the most direct way possible.
The terminology used to explain war (“national security,” “American interests,” etc.) is another way the press shackles us to ideas that aren’t our own. America is a nation of 325 million people. Why do a missile company’s shareholders get to determine what my best interest is?
If they control the words you think with, they control the conclusions you will use those words to draw. This is how a population is kept under control without excessive violence.
