      Military spending accounts for HALF the total US discretionary budget. We've got the largest, most powerful, most well equipped, well trained military in human history. We can just let that stand around, we gotta USE it. 10/

      People like Tucker Carlson believe the purpose of the military is to win wars. Well, you can't win the war if you don't HAVE war. Endless war. And so, the military option has become not just the first option, but the ONLY option in nearly every case. 11/

      Hell, war has become our LIFESTYLE. Look around, how many Americans do you see dressed in camo? With those beards they think special forces all wear? The military terminology. Tacticool sunglasses, flashlights, and electric SEAL beard trimmers advertised on every channel? 12/

      We think we're Spartans. Perpetual war in a society of perpetual warriors, obsessed with the appearance of manly vigor and the ever present threat of violence. But these are NOT the traits of a civilized nation, rather the ideology of brutality, barbarism, and oppression. 13/

      This is how the Nazis thought with their ideology of conquest and war based some bullshit idea of Aryan superiority and manly vigor. This is the ideology the Bushido warrior, again obsessed with superiority and manliness. 14/

      Those like Carlson spew the same ideas. That's they embrace the same symbols, the Swastika, the Valknut, the Confederate flag, the sword, the gun, the fist and the boot. Because in their mind, that's strength. Violence is strength. 15/

      In those societies, war wasn't something to be avoided, but an endless condition to be embraced. War became a lifestyle. Yet, all of those warrior nations are gone, their shield-pounding testosterone-fueled manliness defeated by nations and races they regarded as inferior. 16/

      It's ironic then that those like Carlson, who shout the defiant slogans of Ancient Greek warriors, should bemoan the supposed loss of modern manliness when they themselves would have been dismissed as less than men by the very ideologies they idolize. 17/

      If we must fight, then we will fight to win. But in a democracy, in a Republic of the people, by the people, and for the people, the military exists not so that we MUST fight endless wars. It exists so that we DON'T HAVE TO. 18/18
