None of the propaganda around war can disguise its true nature. It is massive organized violence for the purpose of expanding government power. It is the height of statism and it is the greatest affront to freedom. Governments will go to great lengths to convince people that war is glorious and those who oppose it are cowards. None of this changes the physical reality of war: mass destruction of human life, shooting people because of the racket they are fighting for, bombing people for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and poor men dying for the benefit of government sponsors. Wars make governments more powerful and more powerful governments are better at ripping people off.
The destruction of combat is an affront to freedom and denies us the prosperity of peace. Governments use war as an excuse to increase taxation. When they can frighten people with a foreign threat, this is much easier. Once convinced, not only will they pay their taxes enthusiastically, they will attack anyone who suggests taxes should be lower. When fear fails to trick enough young people into joining the military, governments enslave people with “conscription.” War diverts an incredible amount of productive capacity from serving demand in the market to destruction. Immeasurable future labor is lost from the dead and wounded.
To make a society support the crazy ideas behind war, governments need to instill an intense sense of collective identity, which is in itself an affront to freedom. The great tragedy of war is the deception behind it. Yes, it’s quite tragic when someone is murdered, but it is far more tragic when mass murder is so clearly preventable. War is the height of statism and the greatest crime against freedom. It is only possible because individuals are willing to commit horrific acts when doing a government’s bidding.

Lots of respect Adam. Much respect for a former military person to "wake-up" from the programming that leads people to join this world wide death cult= AKA the military and police institutions. The only way I see humanity getting out of this downward spiral of what could be known as WW 3 IS TO get the order followers of the police and military to quit. We need to get them to leave their posts and/or just stop following the orders of their owners...I mean their masters...I mean their leaders...I mean their "chain of command". Infiltrate the cult of ultimate evil and HEAL :). We need to ask them to quit, come home, and heal themselves so that a potential People's Militia could form which the founding fathers talked about.....
What's up Adam! I love your man on the street videos, dropping red pills like a boss!

i personally think that there are worst crimes against humans then murder. taking the dignity away like rape or taking the family away - like emptying out of self esteem and love a person could be worst then murder. in case of nations, maybe enslaving is worst as well..
