War is a joke, a board game, to politicians.

None of them seem to give a goddamn about horrific suffering and death as they draw lines on maps, and plan "deals"

I am asking for condemnation of Putin, Trump and Netanyahu as chief villains. I'd call out Hamas, but the leadership role seems to be a relay race to assassination.

Power, territory, money. Their gains are not worth one single life or injury. Insensitive, sociopathic blockheads.

Maybe they will go to some hell, but the plain fact is that they have brought hell to this planet.

And people participate in their brutality by harboring greed, hate and ignorance. Yet, people base their lives on these, being well indoctrinated by the surrounding culture, and it's not just ours, it's damn near universal.

• Too much, and never enough.
• Hate other nations, cultures, colors, lifestyles.
• Ignore suffering. The price of coffee matters more.

And the worst are those who use religion to "justify" these universally vile behaviors.

Well, I do live on a mountain of sorts but I'm not going to preach. Nobody listens to me anyway. But people should listen to their hearts, the ones that feel the pain of those close to them, and no others. They should ask why wealth is concentrated among the very few, and they should learn to see through the lies.

Those who voted against "Genocide Joe" guaranteed the massacre and destruction of Gaza by Bibi and his right wing ally Trump. Those who believed the utter bullshit of lower prices guaranteed higher prices, fattening the fatcats, and consequent destruction of social services and national security by Donald Chamberlain.

And there's a lot more. Even the good guys make blunders that nobody or few call out. No Merrick in particular.

Will more people find the antidote to greed, hatred and ignorance? There is actually one more big factor, and that's learned inability, the "let someone else do it, it's above my pay grade" mentality, which impressed on people by those who are GLAD to do it for you, because they do it TO you, whether it's running government to grift at your expense, or to manage or preach, and molest those who really are powerless.

Speak out. Our posts and protests have encouraged leaders. They lead when we lead them.

Blast the lies. Even if many believe the bullshit, even subtle facts might eventually sink in.



Or just post a FAFO flag or two.

And when idiots refuse to listen, speak to "good guys" and encourage them.
To take action.



And more.
