It’s important to remind ourselves that there was no anti-war candidate on the ballot last election. And there is no stridently anti-war faction of the corporate media. Thinking back to George Carlin again: “You have no choice.” The current insanity results from an unholy marriage involving American neocons (who permeated Biden’s cabinet, as well as Trump’s), AIPAC money, Israeli government non-stop aggression (capturing large swaths in Lebanon recently while everyone has been focused on Iran), the U.S. military-industrial complex lit up for profit, good old political corruption, absolutely no concern for destroying the lives of thousands of innocent people using sophisticated bombs (just like we saw in Gaza), American conservative christian politicians who see anything Israel does as an existential religious war and all the shit that we don’t know about and we’ll probably never know about (cf. Epstein saga). That’s how I see this war.
