"Make Art Not War"...

Sure I can vibe with that.

But if War must happen (and war does happen and *is happening* irregardless), might be nice to be on the side that's not imperialistic, that's not genocidal, that's not nihilistic/apocalyptic, that's not s**cidal...

Just sayin'.

____

Say no to war, but more important & more urgent than that (imo) is to stop killing people.

And failing that (and we do and will continue to fail that), we should strive to help minimize human suffering, as much as we each can, in whichever way we each can.

Namaste. πŸ™

___

The genocide of one people can never justify the genocide of another.

The sovereignty defense of one people can never justify the imperialistic subjugation of another.

Imperialism & genocide continues happening anyway (though human activism can and do mitigate, however little it may).

The past is the past, the present is the present, the future is the future.

These are my philosophies and my positions. (Some of them at least. I reserve full right to update upon new learnings & information.)
