This fervor for war is the result of the capitalist regime that orders our globe.

Killing masses is the ultimate growth industry. Those dead will never organize nor protest for fairer working conditions. Those surviving will shackle themselves to the grindstone for their preservation.

The Shock Doctrine is not just for the third world anymore. It is us for whom those cannons are aimed.

Thanks Nate, for your passionate portrayal of the travesties perpetrated by the ghouls that run our Western societies. Can any of us in the West truly appreciate the disgust that East Asians and the Global South have for the tenants of exceptionalism our governments bandy about?

To justify our ruler's story of good versus evil (the West is always good) history must be either not mentioned or rewritten. That's why this bit of context is so valuable.

Spending limits are only there for us, not for our rulers, of course. The mass media never told us that spending limits are not genuine limits but simply a choice about what to spend money on.
