      Oh, they could. They could have joined this cluster fuck of a war. The Tories 100% would have. So there’s that.

      Every “democracy” appears to be functionally equivalent to capitalist dictatorship. When money owns the majority of the political class, the only difference is the illusion of choice.

      The success of each countries corporations and 0.001% is the “national security”; not the lives of the actual population.

        I’d like to see landowners, owners of property and owners of physical businesses given a “national security” tax. That’s what’s really being defended. But you can imagine the squealing they’d do if they were told to put their hands in their pockets.
