Since we're complaining - I'm so tired of the (hopefully) thoughtless use of "we". It is incredibly presumptuous. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of the artificially simplified narrative portrayed by WWII propaganda posters - where if you do your part, Rosie the riveter, then we'll save the world†!
†Saving the world means unwittingly working to further the military industrial complex, undermining your long term interests, terms and conditions may apply, see reverse side of poster for eligibility and placement in the new power superstructure.

- serge2k 11y agoyeah, fighting that nazi's was all about furthering the military industrial complex. That whole pearl harbor thing wasn't really the japanese attacking, it was obviously lockheed.
- woodman 11y agoyeah, taking advantage of a crisis is impossible and never happens.
