war is menstruation envy
"war is menstuation envy" ~t.c."
fuck. doesn't bush get it? doesn't everyone who supports war get it? you bomb them, they get pissed off, they bomb us. eventually we all stop bombing each other, but in the end nothing is solved, because what is left is people who still hate each other.
there is no way in hell we are going to solve the "war on terrorism" by bombing iraq. in fact, i'm sure that we are only going to screw over ourselves even more, because we're going to piss off a whole lot of militant people who hate us. i can't believe that anyone who supports us going to war with iraq doesn't get that.
we've pissed people off. there is a reason why what happened then happened. there are reasons why we are hated. and if we kill innocent people--- which is inevtiable in war-- we are only going to continue to be hated. we are only going to continue the cycle of hate between THEM and US. no, i don't consider myself included in the US, because i don't hate the THEM.
actually, to be honest, its the US that i dislike far more than i'd ever hate the THEM.. i commune with the US everyday, and so i see the ignorance all around me. in fact, the other day i discovered that i'm related to someone who could be put into the US category, to a small point. so, yeah. i dislike the US because i see it, and i hear it and it simply baffles me.. and the US well, i'm supposed to be included in that US and i don't wanna be included in that US. and i get accusations thrown at me on a regular basis because i don't want to be included in the US in their context, i have defined my own context of US. a lot of people don't like *my* context of US, or they don't get it, or they don't want to sit back and listen, or they just don't want to think that much.. they are enjoying being brainless as usual and yet getting to be activists finally by putting an american flag in the back of their car (and the usual question is-- by people in my context of US-- was it there before? the answer is 99% of the time, no).
so, war. it just continues the cycle of hate and violence. and we live in a different world now. one that is global. bush wants a global economy, yes? but he doesn't seem to want a global humanity. in fact, all of those patriarchs don't want a global humanity. in fact, so many people don't want a global humanity. people don't want to break out of their old thinking of US and THEM, its too fucking hard. well, live a day in my shoes--- a day when i'm crashed and on the bottom-- and then tell me that breaking out of the US and THEM thinking is too hard, okay?
because global humanity is the direction in which we HAVE to move if we are to survive. if we don't, we're screwed. and do we want some mouse like human being who thinks with his penis and doesn't believe in the rights of all people in this world to destroy us? because he will. he wants too. he went up in front of congress today to try too. he's going around the world, saying that he represents ALL OF US-- well, all of us, those of us who live in the usa-- saying that WE want war, that WE don't care about global humanity.
and as dan rather just said... and "and thats part of our world tonight.."
