I can see this as an informed upload by a rightly concerned human being, and I respect you for this. I would also like to offer my perspective as a 52-year-old man who up until his mid 30s took politics and world events at face value.
So what has changed? Well I began recognizing that left and right red and blue was divisive and limiting. I couldn't help but see that the world didn't change much depending on who sat in the big chair.
Then I started wondering if this might be a microcosm of the global macrocosm? I now believe, and though this may not have always been true, at this point in our history no one could get near the leadership position in a near-peer nation anymore without having a piece on the board.
Crazy right? What's the motivation? Well I'll tell you. Military spending. How could any Nation justify spending the significant majority of its annual budget on more weapons, better weapons? We need an enemy. Without an enemy people will start to say hey, why don't you spend some of that money on domestic issues?
Our global leaders can't have that kind of ambiguity, they need to continue to openly advance weapons of war and use them occasionally so people either patriotically defend their position or out of fear just don't say anything.
So what's the motivation for that? I don't know about you but every time I see something on TV that displays shock and awe I can't help but to think "Wait a minute, that could be me someday."
I don't have any answers here, I'm just a man trying to make a better world for his children, but non-violent resistance on a global scale is the only hope we have other than just turning away, de-stress and just let them blow themselves to hell if they want to this badly. At least I know one thing, I know where I'm going, and I know where they are going. They get to burn not me.
