āThey got money for war, but canāt feed the poorā Tupac Shakur
Anytime I mention the >$845 billion annual budget for the Military Industrial Complex I am always greeted by either confusion, deflection or anger.
Anger is the one that gives me that kind of self mutilating joy. Such sadness and disappointment at my fellow human that they feel the need to take up verbal defense of an entity that literally has more money than any other entity on Earthā¦for ādefenseā
Whatās worse than an exploited worker in false class solidarity with billionaires? Military Industrial Complex bootlickers.
Itās not their fault. America is the most propagandized country in the history of the world and itās not even close. Germany? North Korea? Wake up.
Have you looked at a screen ever? What is advertising? What are commercials? Who owns the news? Who owns the media? And why? Exactly.
Itās in our nature to think weāre the good guys. Weāll already justify our own actions to ourselves regardless of their external effects unless we suffer immediate negative repercussions.
You take that part of our nature and subject us to a literal non stop, inescapable propaganda machine in every home, public space, purse, and pocket and how can the masses in America not have the consciousness be corporate captured?
We know in our hearts poverty shouldnāt exist in the world with so much wealth. But what our eyes see and our ears hear, our mind believes. And those two senses are under a never ending attack of seduction by entities that want us to live like donkeys chasing the carrot to avoid the stick.
And if weāre too buys mentally, verbally, and physically fighting each other or buying things or working ourselves to the bone to avoid poverty, then we certainly canāt unite for the greater good of the 99%.
