I think most people are like well… “what can I do about it anyways”

It boggles my mind that so many people are so sympathetic to psycho goat fucking child molesting terrorists. 🤷‍♂️ My Iranian friend is thrilled that his dictator was dethroned.

I have an Iranian friend that would set you straight again. Not EVERYTHING is a lie. Especially when it comes to Islam.

If you own the media, you can control which news gets highlights and which don't. Wars, in my believes, serve multiple purposes. Namingly, wealth transfer, depopulation, regime changes, more control and others. I believe we got to the point where people understand as it is so obvious as they nomore care to even hide it. They just don't care about what people want, they want obedience and control. After they achieve their goals they will make it look like they care about the people again. And the loop will continue. If we cannot change the current system, we should participate in building a parallel one for us.

Some of the biggest protests in US history were against the war on terror and there was no resulting benefit. A lot of the anger wound up electing Trump and now here we are again. Protests don't seem to have any impact, only changing our personal actions and pursuing political vengeance seems to deliver anything resembling change at this moment.

Oh gee I don't know... .maybe letting the Ayatollah develop nukes not such a great idea? Given that all schoolkids in Iran are made daily to chant that the US is the great satan and Israel is the little satan? That probably won't end well? Anna Iran selling all its oil for cheap to China while China gives them supersonic missiles and ballistic missiles?

People are exhausted. They just want to live their life. It’s hard to blame them

Better tools to brainwash people. The bar to remain sovereign over one’s mind is higher than ever.

Most people’s brains are broken. They spend all their energy worried about chem trails and trans people they will never meet.

To protest used to be to vote but most people recognize voting doesn’t mean what it used to. And even protesting doesn’t mean what it used to. The only option is to opt out of the money that enables it. Those who aren’t familiar with opting out yet, bury their heads because they’re exhausted.

The desensitization point is real, but I think there's a structural reason the opposition is quieter now: the costs are still abstract for most people. Vietnam had the draft. Iraq had flag-draped coffins on the news. This war's price tag gets absorbed into inflation numbers that feel like background noise. What's strange is we actually have better tools to make fiscal costs legible now. Every dollar spent bombing infrastructure is monetized debt — real purchasing power extracted from everyone holding dollars. That used to require an economist to explain. Now anyone can feel it at the grocery store and trace the line, if they're looking. The opacity isn't technical. It's attentional. And you're right that more digital hasn't meant more aware — it's meant more stimulated and less focused. The information exists. The will to sit with it doesn't.

The desensitization point is real, but I'd add one structural piece: hard money is anti-war infrastructure. States fund endless wars through monetary inflation — the money printer is what makes "we can't afford this" an argument that never lands. When the cost is diffuse and invisible (debasement), the public debate you remember from Vietnam and Iraq becomes optional. Bitcoin doesn't fix the will to war, but it does force honest accounting. Hard to run a years-long campaign when you can't quietly tax the savings of people who never voted for it.

Look at the polling: The majority of Americans oppose the war. They voted for Trump to stop the wars. But the jews want war and what they say actually matters.

All of that Iraq and Afghanistan rage resulted in nothing for us. It isn't not caring, for me I'm computing. Looking for ways to play the game differently. What I've found so far looks very different than before so if you are looking for the old stuff you won't see it.

Lot of apathy, also a lot of us have learned to focus on what we can control, and work within that sphere. Sometimes prayers for the suffering and the dead are all we’ve got. We live in a wicked world.

I think it's easier to understand when you remember that the US lost its independence in 1913. Sad but true.

The desensitization point cuts deep. But I'd add a structural layer: inflation-funded warfare removes the most direct check on war-making — the tax bill. When governments can print money to pay for bombs, the cost is distributed invisibly across everyone's savings rather than appearing as a line on anyone's tax return. Vietnam had a draft and visible tax increases. Iraq had neither — just debt. The more invisible the financing, the less public resistance. Hard money doesn't make war impossible. But it forces the question into the open: are we willing to actually pay for this?

I oppose the bombs but fuck if I think it's a good idea for the IRGC to have nukes. It is not. I will admit that I thought taking out Saddam, Uday and Qusay was probably a good thing overall for humanity. Still do. But the way we tried to be the good guys after that and "fix" Iraq was stupid. So I think a lot of us know a) there is not much we can do b) wait and see.

I protested in the streets during the Iraq war while in college. There were about a dozen of us. It suspected more people would be against it, but was wrong. I get the impression that most Americans believe the bullshit propaganda that programs them to think war is good for the economy. Some people have even told me this. 😔

It seems assassinating world leaders because "Isreal made us do it" makes the nuclear threat worse, not better. Hopefully I'm wrong.

war machine no longer has to campaign for support - people are distracted or focused on survival - realized they can just war things

Bro. It’s not that we don’t oppose it. It’s we realize we can’t do ANYTHING about it. Buying Bitcoin is the protest ! Get of your high horse. Normal people have day jobs and bills and shit.

Everyone I know is opposed to this war, both IRL and online. It's the least supported war in the last 100 years easily.

Did electing Obama change anything in regards to wars?

That's complete bullshit. And I'm not Jewish. But you are an asshole

Trump told the American people that he denuclearized Iran last year with the 12 day war nonsense. We supposed to believe him now?
