WAR
by Seb
Humans killing other humans
on a mass scale
has always been a part of humanities
quite brutal tale.
From hands to stones, to knives, to guns,
to atomic bombs and so forth,
the destructive power of humans
now threatens all life on planet Earth.
The reality of war is very foreign for some,
yet extremely real for others.
Just imagine the complete destruction and loss of your
home, culture, childhood, friends, sisters, and brothers.
Sadly the free market has no consideration
for how that would feel.
Instead, it reinforces the rich to profit off another
billion dollar arms deal.
Far over 100 million people have been killed
in the wars of the 20th century alone.
It really is the most primitive and brutal waste of lives,
resources and time humanity has ever known.
Some estimates for the total number
of humans killed in all wars in history
goes up to 1 billion people,
and until this day so much is still invested into making drones, battleships, tanks
and all kind of military equipment
more and more lethal.
Currently, we also have more than
100 million soldiers worldwide.
The task of these people is not to protect
the human race from another species,
but instead, it is to fight and kill other humans
with dividing beliefs of national pride.
Many believe being a soldier
is a very honorable thing.
That seems like a highly subservient point of view as
it’s always the poor who die in battle and never the king.
To me, real honor has to do with unity, understanding and non-violently refusing.
We must shift our attitude from
one of fear and aggression
to one of courage and compassion
before we all end up losing.
Just like those who lost their lives
in Nagasaki and Hiroshima,
Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Armenia, Russia, Iraq,
and the list would never end.
We have to start understanding who benefits and why
we have war if we truly wish to change and transcend.
Sadly, the causes of war are still not properly
presented in today’s average history class,
as most books don’t touch upon false flag
operations, the military industrial complex
and the upper banking class.
Students need to learn that the mess
in the middle east is not an error.
It is a highly profitable situation where big
oil companies, arms dealers and banks
make insanely high amounts of money
off manufactured terror.
They also need to learn that there is a big difference between what is reported by the mainstream media
and what is actually going on in places
like Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.
War is unacceptable, yet in today's market
system it is structurally inevitable.
Hence, in order to overcome it we must
design a new socioeconomic model
where profiting from mass murder
is systemically impossible.
Maybe instead of spending so much time and resources on how to improve and profit
from mental, physical, racial, geopolitical
and ultimately self-destructive torture,
we should invest our energy on creating new
sustainable and peaceful social structures
where we use understanding rather than violence
to bridge our differences in culture.
