The war media constantly tells us how dangerous the brown people are and how we should keep preemptively bombing them. Obviously that whole narrative is insane and the only reason we're still fighting in Afghanistan (and we ever started fighting in dozens of other nations) is in order to spend more money on armaments. None of it has a thing to do with security; all of these stupid wars have made us less secure. You'll never hear that on any of the cable news channels, though.
- aww_dang 5y agoPredictions of the War on Terror security state being turned inward have all come to pass. Domestic terrorists are now presented as the biggest security threat. Expect a similar outcome for the new biosecurity state. Of course, these views are near heretical. Just like questions about the drug war decades ago. Then there are the horrors of a climate apocalypse which we must not question. NPR can give themselves a pat on the back while promoting all of the above, without acknowledging their participation in the War on Drugs. It is all a bit rich, beyond hypocritical. Observe that most of the topics above are flame war material here at HN, well...
