Western propaganda means people always oppose the last war but not the current war. The US provoking and sustaining its Ukraine proxy war is no more ethical than its invading of Iraq; it just looks that way due to propaganda. Ukraine isn't the good war, it's just the current war.

It is only by the copious amounts of propaganda our civilization is being hammered with that this is not immediately obvious to everyone. In the future (assuming we don't annihilate ourselves first), the propaganda will have cleared from the air enough for people to see clearly and realize that they were lied to. Again.

Always Opposing The Last War But Not The Current One

Mainstream punditry in the latter half of 2022 is rife with op-eds arguing that the US needs to vastly increase military spending because a world war is about to erupt, and they always frame it as though this would be something that happens to the US, as though its own actions would have nothing to do with it. As though it would not be the direct result of the US-centralized empire continually accelerating towards that horrific event while refusing every possible diplomatic off-ramp due to its inability to relinquish its goal of total unipolar planetary domination.

Advocating World War Three Is Just Mainstream Punditry Now

Love like there's no yesterday
like you're the first to ever love
like it's fresh and for the first time
because it is fresh and for the first time
and the illusion otherwise is just a trick of human perception
Love like a hermit crab that said fuck it
and cast aside its shell forever
Love like a three year-old rides a tricycle

Love like the nukes just started flying
Love like two middle aged bloggers
making out in the rain while Australia floods
Love like cobwebs and calliopes

Love like a geyser of starlings
pouring from your chest cave
Love like God just cracked you open
and gazed at all the parts of you you're most ashamed of
the things you feel most guilty about
and chuckled sweetly
at how you think any of that matters
in this roaring ocean of infinity
Love like an intimate ultrasound
of the world that's waiting to be born

Love like everyone's watching
and you're a slutty little attention whore

Love like peacock angels in screaming orgasm

Love like you deserve to love
and be loved
because you do
because you do
I swear to you on my accordion heart
and my warzone womb
and my eyes that are brimming with my grandmother's tears
you deserve to love and be loved
you do
you do
and it is safe
and it is right
and it is good
Love like tender holiness kisses

Love like swampwater messiahs

Love like watching My Dinner with Andre for the very first time
home alone with the lights out
and a box of tissues
and a mind full of wonder

Love like eating an orange while listening to crickets

Love like a heartfelt impromptu pop song serenade
from an adoring lover
who cannot sing
Love like a mother noticing that her prattling child
will never be that age again
Love like you are a very young primate
in a very old universe you do not understand
and your accomplishments mean nothing
because everything's so big
so all that matters is love
and loving
Love like a scarecrow saint

Love like a balrog buddha

Love like babies eating ice cream

Love big

Love hard

Empty the tank

Leave it all in the ring
There's nothing to save it for anyway

Love Like There's No Yesterday

A recent Cambridge study found that this hostility toward China has been on the rise in recent years not just in Australia but throughout the "liberal democracies" of the US-centralized power alliance. But what's interesting is that public opinion is exactly reversed in the much larger remainder of the Earth's population, with people outside the US power cluster just as fond of China as those within that power cluster are hostile toward it. This relationship is largely mirrored with Russia as well.

"Among the 1.2bn people who inhabit the world’s liberal democracies, three-quarters (75%) now hold a negative view of China, and 87% a negative view of Russia," the report reads. "However, for the 6.3bn people who live in the rest of the world, the picture is reversed. In these societies, 70% feel positively towards China, and 66% positively towards Russia."

New Study Finds The Rest Of The World Supports China And Russia

Leaked documents reveal that the US intelligence cartel has been working intimately with online platforms to regulate the "cognitive infrastructure" of the population — the information systems people use to feed their minds and think their thoughts.

If it is the job of the US intelligence cartel to regulate society's cognitive infrastructure, then it is the job of healthy human beings to disrupt the cognitive infrastructure.
