exposing a modern poster to the war discourse from 2001 and watching them explode like a Victorian orphan taking the One Chip Challenge
@ancient_catbus Truly astounding to me that America's turn to unhinged open imperialism and perpetual war against a philosophical concept that could be stretched to fit any "enemy" we so desired only cost literally one woman her job.
@ancient_catbus Can’t we all just give war a chance?? 🥺
@kaelef @ancient_catbus Please ! Think of the war childrens !
@ancient_catbus In a really civilised society, we would throw this kind of motherfuckers into the sea with a trebuchet.
@ancient_catbus Reminds me of his lesser-known 1992 editorial "Vanilla Ice Has a Plan To Stay On Top, And It Can't Possibly Fail"
@ancient_catbus @talia_christine I’m sure he’ll soon ask a cab driver in Kabul his thoughts on where the US went wrong.
@ancient_catbus In case someone is in today's lucky 10000 regarding this: We have a unit of time specifically named after this paragon of brilliance and integrity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_Unit

@mihailim @ancient_catbus I
Was indeed in today’s ten thousand and thank you 😝

@ancient_catbus

Somebody needs to sit down and read the God damned Charter of the United God damned Nations.

"Give war a chance" how about we give BURNING YOU ALIVE ON NATIONAL TELEVISION a chance!

@ancient_catbus all we are saying

Is give war a chance

@ancient_catbus

thanks Tom, you're the best

I'm sure your opinion is as spot on today as it was 23 years ago

@ancient_catbus
Get Your War On from 2009
@elithebearded @ancient_catbus OMG - I love Get Your War on. 15 years later, nothing has changed.
@elithebearded @ancient_catbus Get Your War On was brilliant. There should have been one for the Trump years.
@elithebearded You have no idea how much I miss Get Your War On.
@ancient_catbus I have marched in only a handful of protests in my life. The giant anti-Iraq War march through downtown Vancouver was the best one I've ever participated in. Not only was there so much positive energy in the streets that day, the Canadian government seemed to listen and they declined to join the coalition.

@qole @ancient_catbus I went to the big one in DC. So. Many. Entryists.

You heard more "Free Mumia" than anything about Iraq.

@ancient_catbus "I have no doubt, for now." would make a great epitaph.
@ancient_catbus to be fair, a taxi driver told him that.
@ancient_catbus 'Give War a Chance' if only there was a clandestine network of terrorist sleeper cells that could have whacked that guy
