In case you didn’t hear today it was confirmed the last US strike in the Afghanistan war killed an aid worker and his family- including up to 7 children

A horrific failure at every level that killed innocent civilians and children with a bomb we paid for.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff “Declined to comment as to whether anyone will be disciplined over the strike, noting that the investigation is ongoing. "I have nothing for you now because that involves personnel issues," McKenzie said.”

War is horrifically messy and should be avoided at all costs. At least this time DoD admitted they made this tragic mistake and took responsibility. But also at what damn cost- Jesus.

This is just my own opinion-

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past near 4 years thinking about major obstacles I’ve noticed in progressive organizing currently and through out the 20th century (from research on social movements for my classes). Here are a few of the main ones
#1 The movement not taking care of itself and by that I mean the organizers not taking care of themselves. People acting as if a social movement is a campaign with a quick sprit and finish line and not an ultra marathon with no clear finish line.
#2 the orgs not having any hierarchy and being too horizontal resulting in attempts to make everyone happy ending up with no one being happy. The orgs that had a much more strict structure consistently outlasted the ones that didn’t in the 20th century.

I’m testing something-

Second amendment
I’m trying to figure out what triggers the IRA accounts- like if it’s just a word or phrase/phrases that triggers a response or if they have like some more sophisticated system with AI similar to GTP-3 or actual people
I meant GPT -3

If you think vaccines are tyranny just wait until you hear about the thousands of in prison for selling a plant that’s now legal in some form in most states and also lose their voting rights as a result
Or the kids and adults that die because our government would rather protect guns than kids.
Or the patriot act

The biggest enemy of the progressive movement is itself and it’s infatuation with retributive justice. I am so fucking tired of people fighting each other more then fighting for true transformative and restorative justice.
What little we have of democracy is already in grave danger- we do not have the time to waist focused on petty drama and bullshit when future generations are count on us and in many ways we are counting on us.

The 21st century will be largely defined by massive disinformation campaigns and information warfare at a scale never seen before enabled by social media.

If the Democratic system is to survive such campaigns it must develop a major apparatus to protect itself.
Who needs to go to war when you can make a country destroy itself by electing strong men populists, convince people vaccines don’t work and their government leaders are a bunch of child eating pedophiles?

We have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
There’s a lot of ways “protecting itself” could go horribly wrong and certainly people way more qualified then myself should work on it to avoid that.
