I think people overstate the case about the “constant forever wars”, quite honestly. And I say that as someone who is a harsh critic of US foreign policy. The reality is that the period starting at the end of World War II, all the way up to today, has been the most peaceful time in most of the history of civilization.

Civilization itself, going all the way back to the Roman Empire has been a forever war. We have existed in an era of the Long Peace. Sometimes called the Pax Americana.

The number of people dying in wars has been in precipitous decline. So when people act like this so-called “American Global Empire” has been an unmitigated war machine that has made the world a far more violent place, I actually don’t know WHAT THE FUCK they’re talking about.

Here’s a chart of the last hundred years of people on this planet who have died in wars.

I have no fucks left to give, right now. I'm alarmed by the geopolitical risks I see, and I think people need to wake up from their luxury narratives.

The world needs you to give a fuck and there are people who still believe in the song you sing.
