"Fuck War"

[kpete]

Fuck War
Indeed.

I'm not sure exactly when I started seeing myself as a pacifist. It's one of those words which to Very Serious People means "you like it when the bully punches you in the face don't you dirty fucking hippie!" But what I've learned over the increasingly many years of my life is that the existence of just about any war in which the US is involved means that the Very Serious People, with all the power they have, fucked up completely. Even if that war is, in some sense, "necessary," it still means that the people who run this place screwed up and at the very least should resign in shame before sending people off to kill and be killed. But they don't. They go on Meet the Press to talk about how awesome they are.

3. It took me forever to figure out that Presidents just want to be the Commander in Chief of the war

machine. Period. All the rest is just bullshit for stupid people.

4. We need a different approach to peace.

All is fair in love and war.

Love your enemies unto death of war.

The rewards of helping one another are greater than those of killing if the fear of war can be defeated. Specifically, the fear of being conquered that keeps us fighting, on the offensive.

In a sane world, love conquers all. Heaven should not really be directly involved.

7. Fuck War, Indeed.

Love bomb and keep own house in order.

May be next year or may be 100 years, but the USA will meet an existential crisis from the outside because of the destruction from within unless the good of the People again matter.

8. I became anti war on June 30, 1967

My cousin was killed the same day he got there. His body was never recovered. Neither my uncle nor my dad's shoulders were straight again.
