    Myself, I don’t think this is in preparation for imperial colonialism, which honestly is becoming to sound like the word “woke” now, but for the opposite side where the second I hear it I toll my eyes and wonder what dumbass take I’m about to read says.

    It’s definitely a opinion piece paid for by people who profit from war, and is 100% just another ultra-capitalist trying to influence public opinion to make themselves richer.

    The only ones who benefit from war are the dictators and shareholders of weapons manufacturers.

    This isn’t “imperial colonialism” is “capitalism that profits on death is still good, full steam ahead”

      I mean it could just be that the person who wrote it is the sort of loonie who believes what they wrote and want to share that opinion with others. Very likely it was just to promote their book with the same opinion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Morris_(historian)#War!_What_is_it_Good_For?

      Yeah, while you’re sitting there jerking off in the enlightened middle, “O’Brien”

      This article is ten years old, you know, from when MAGA was putting itself together, but you can bet your ass that idea is alive and well.

        Oh, by no means am I trying to be “both sides”-ing, it’s very clearly one side in the wrong trying to pull everyone off a cliff, and the other “side” (usually just a bunch of people with no official support because it’s not profitable to go against the military industrial complex) trying desperately to prevent it.

        I’m just getting as tired of hearing the phrase as I am “woke”

          Gosh it’s just so annoying hearing about how we’re entering the final resource wars of humanity and people continuing to use the SPECIFIC FUCKING WORDS FOR IT.
