Once you're awake, you can't keep playing the government's game. Sooner or later, you have to take a stand, and he did. Many from my generation who served and fought in these wars have come to the same realization. For that, I'm truly grateful.
Thank you for your service 🤝🫡 and thank you even more for waking up to the racket and opting out. It definitely isn't easy especially when you brothers in arms that paid the ultimate price for a lie
🫂No need to thank me. I appreciate the sentiment, though. Honestly, what pisses me off is that more veterans aren't awake yet and part of this movement. There are Bitcoin vet groups out there, but they're a very small minority.
the hilarious thing is that at the rate they are going the lead time to get back to pre-war diesel distillation will take another 10 years. already at 5 years.
What's the best way to reach more vets with this info, is it information that is missing or it's simply a case of a lot of them drinking the koolade where they are told that all their efforts are about defending truth, justice and the American way?
You hit the nail on the head. What many people laugh off as "brainwashing" is, in reality, a powerful form of conditioning. Reaching people requires direct, personal conversations rather than public arguments. It also requires spaces, both online and in person, where ideas can be discussed openly and complex issues can be explained without the noise and pressure of the crowd.
Indeed! You can never force a new worldview on a person even if it's the "correct worldview", without a personal road to Damascus moment, real transformation never takes place. While fora like Nostr, X etc can be helpful in planting certain ideas or presenting an alternative worldview if one is already curiously questioning the matrix programming; more real man to man candid conversations are required where people actually talk to each other. More so when you're trying to reverse deeply ingrained ideas that now form a core part of someone's identity
That's from Smedley Butler, a retired Marine major general and two-time Medal of Honor recipient, the most decorated combat veteran of his era. He published War Is a Racket in 1935, laying out from his own career how business interests profit commercially from warfare.
