    Most people don’t understand the concept of the industrial military complex. There is only one way forward to end the madness and that is to dismantle this system permanently.

        You are not going to be able to stop this with a game of whack a mole. I am not a fan of a violent solution, but if done it would have to be universal all at once since this concept has already spread to every nation in the world.

        Without a doubt an industry that can only grow from death and destruction is inherently a threat to human life. Couple that with fascism and you have a government that conspires with corporations to engaged in wars of opportunity for profit. A closed loop of human destruction that grows like a cancer.

        I think the real solution is just getting the wealthy to dismantle the system. It sounds kind of silly and simple, but they are the only ones with the power to actually change anything at this point in a meaningful way.

            I am not sure I agree with this. Even if the threat of violence is effective I am not sure it is the correct thing to do. I think we can both agree there may be solutions we haven’t even thought of yet.

              It is manifestly not the correct thing to do. Coercing people under threat of violence is an inherently evil act.

              And I fervently hope there is some other solution, but humanity has had many thousands of years to think of one, and none is forthcoming.
