    My Yankee family took down fascists across Europe and also in the Pacific theater some 80+ years ago…

    And then the yanks spent the following 80 years propping up fascism all over the world. Funny that.

    As for your comments on Vietnam vets, I’ll just say this: The whole war was just one massive continuing My Lai massacre, and only about 25% of the US troops who went there were drafted. The idea that they were all innocent little babies who were dragged from their cribs and shipped off to a war they wanted no part of is just another brick in the foundation of lies the USA is built on. I will shed no tears for child killers andremoveds.

    Death to America.

      Oh hell yeah. Neverending war. Hasn’t changed one iota… War industrialists are among the vilest humans on the planet.

      I remember hearing the jets taking off - some 35 miles away - from my dad’s farm in the hills, when Reagan invaded Grenada. Every 30 seconds. for hours as they did a bug out and mass movement of equipment to support the operation. All night long. Was in High School then, and nothing has changed since then.

      You really want that death for America to happen?

      Kill consumerism.

      This imperialism continues because it’s the only way to keep the economy moving.

          Consumerism is the engine of capitalism. You can have consumerism in a socialist society and will still have the violence.

          People want their materialistic shit and will allow death, destruction and degradation - somewhere else - for it to happen.
