I know, this war is very abnormal culturally. in this case I think it is because the USA openly went looking for violence without even trying to give a real casus belli. Usually they don’t skip that part and the government and media does a thorough job of fabricating a palatable justification that most people can swallow. Freedom or WMDs or whatever, you know if you live in a Western nation, something to give some sort of higher meaning to slaughter and destruction.

they didn’t even bother this time, not really. It’s in someway even more insulting than being lied to and shows the growing weakness of democracy in the world that so many governments now have this attitude of “it doesn’t matter what you think, because its happening and you can’t do anything about it”

and well, if it doesn’t matter what we think, why should we care at all? But all the compliancy cuts both ways. soldiers dying, innocents dying, bombs dropping, it all just fades into the background until it’s right in our faces. The world has become more violent and we’re used to it, it doesn’t bode well.

the aggressor bears responsibility for all that ensues from their aggressive criminal acts. This is true in civil law, and also in a illegal war of aggression like this. The Nazis were hanged for this.

i don’t think it is a library where you check out books, it is a “reading room” where you can only read the Obama books while on site

The proletariat cannot trust the petite bourgeoise and vice versa. As a class they can only aspire to enter the ranks of the haute bourgeoisie and in the meantime typically try to imitate their exploitative culture, lifestyle and morality in order to do so. Otherwise they fail and sink back to the ranks of the proletariat. Only the laboring proletarian classes possesses the revolutionary potential to seize the world and its capital to work for themselves and all of humanity.

In times of great crisis and extreme exploitation, the petite bourgeoise will occasionally be pressed economically so hard by the monopolistic haute bourgeoisie that they will end up siding with a proletarian revolution for their own survival; but in such a case the victorious proles, as the leading class now, must end the petite bourgeoise’ exploitative practices, dispossess them of their petty capital, and dissolve their class into proletarians themselves. This fundamental contradiction in their class interests is insurmountable and generates conflict.
