Studying history has made me realize the system isn’t broken it’s doing exactly what it was made to do.

It was never about helping people, it was about making a few men richer and using the 99% as Canon fodder to protect their wealth.

The system only ever helps people when the that wealth is threatened (typically by war) so they need us to buy into the system more- they do so by giving us a tiny amount more of say, money and resources.

We shouldn’t increase the military budget one cent until we get universal healthcare, free college, eradicate homelessness, massively reduce poverty and address climate change.

We just have to prioritize feeding the American people instead of war.

#WarIsTheft

Democrats, Republicans and nearly all elected officials of every party are puppets of the military industrial complex. There are jobs in every congressional district that depend on the war machine.

As a result there is basically nothing we can do to change that until we decrease military spending that will cost jobs in every congressional district- which is why it’s practically impossible to cut spending.

Our Republic is on the brink of war with itself. We have more guns than people and only so much hate until it turns into actual armed conflict. We need leaders who unite us. Not politicians who divide us.

We have to deescalate.

It’s easy to make our enemies people and not systems. Our real enemy is the system that brought us here, it’s money in politics, corruption, racism, poverty, militarism and climate change.

All of which pose a greater threat to people than any single country.

There is no reason we need to spend as much as we do on the military industrial complex.

If you want a job making machine gear it to fight our climate emergency not inventing new ways to turn kids into skeletons.

It’s possible and necessary to defend ourselves from our adversaries intentionally and environmentally. But we can’t just keep acting like the only threat we face is in the form of other countries or groups.

Our climate emergency represents just as big a threat as a superpower

We have to dismantle the system that enables the NRA to pay off our politicians and oil companies to trade in our future for this quarters profit.

Our generation was born into a world full of problems we didn’t create but we have no choice to solve or die trying.

We’re going need to be to be a lot better organized and strategic. They have 1000x the funding we do so we need to figure out how to get them to waste 99.99% of their resources. While relying on what we have but they don’t- the people.

We’re going to need to get a lot better at organizing and gathering intelligence. We will need to have strong leadership, longterm planning and prioritization of our goals.

I hate writer’s block

I’m on the last page of this paper on Florynce Kennedy’s use of storytelling in her book Abortion Rap and need a way to really pull together a compelling conclusion.

I figured it out.
