My company costs the government billions each year for weapons that haven't been used in nearly 80 years. Talk about inefficiency!

Nukes and nuclear nonproliferation.

Shout-out to republican department of energy head Rick Perry who wanted to get rid of the DOE thinking it was just solar panels and windmills. TEXAS MAN THINK GOVERNMENT ENERGY BAD.

But you can't have "everyone" reject war without including warmongering fascists in the category of "everyone".

Seeing as you acknowledge how difficult that is, are we on the same page about how unrealistic your original solution is?

[-] papertowels@lemmy.one 2 points 5 days ago

No it's not easier than everyone making the right decision for anything else, but it is the right decision.

I'm going to propose something.

The most idealistic, "right" decision, done in the wrong context, is the wrong decision.

For example, let's say all of Ukraine rejects war. They no longer resist Russia.

Did we save the world? No. That is appeasement, and that didn't work out to well with Hitler.

Again. Prove the worth and viability of your ideas by encouraging the ones throwing the punches to reign it in first, before applying such lofty and naive ideals to those trying to defend themselves.

EDIT: I'm not going to bother. You believe that all it takes is for everyone in the world to reject war, with no viable plan instead of hand waiving "education will fix things". Wishful thinking at best, forced indoctrination at worst.

No shit there would be no war if everyone was against war.

Tell you what, you manifest your dream with the Russians first to get the invading forces to be against war and I'll take you seriously. Until then, the real world will go on, with or without you.

That's cool! I'm willing to bet that's outside of the norm for most folks. If y'all want to prove me wrong I'll happily provide a venmo ;)

Some nuance - nobody is freely giving housed folks money to buy drugs and alcohol either.

God the center of that must feel like being in a carwash with the spinny bristles.

The solution is for everyone to reject war.

Aw shucks, is that all it takes? How'd we overlook that?? We'll get cracking on that right away.

In the meanwhile it makes sense for a country being invaded to do whatever it can for self preservation, especially in a defensive manner.

This is my favorite visualization of how obscenely wealthy the mega rich are.

You'll notice he's not the one saying this, she is.

Some people just feel more attractive when they are cleaned up down there.

And before you go off about how it's the patriarchy, etc, I'm one of those people and I'm a dude.

I don't think anyone is surprised, I feel like anyone who criticizes the government there has a very legitimate threat of getting disappeared.
