If I have to choose between being the bully or bullied, and there’s no third option, no way to not be either, I would choose to be the bully.
Regardless of whether or not this analogy is accurate, this how our military and country feels about use of military force and this philosophy is founded considering the aggression we have is a human trait, not just us, and that psycho and sociopaths define history more than the rest.
Bombing places and doing genocide only creates more enemies and more reasons to hate us. It’s so fucking stupid, we literally spent 20 years in Afghanistan learning that lesson (not to mention Vietnam!), but apparently some people still haven’t gotten the message. Other countries somehow avoid being bullied despite not being bullies, the US is the biggest bully on the planet and gets blowback as a result.
Our leaders know it’ll happen, they count on it, more enemies means more justification to funnel money to the cronies in the military industrial complex. The real suckers are the ones who buy into that bullshit when they’re not even profiting, when their tax dollars are going towards lining the pockets of a Raytheon executive.
Yes, opposing the genocide of the world’s poorest people is definitely anti-american.
More like opposing the use of military to respond to direct attacks on it.
…when said military is in the process of supporting a genocide, yes.
