I talk about how outrageous war is a lot because we should all be talking about how outrageous war is all the time. War is the most insane thing people do and the fact that it's actively pursued by the powerful should enrage everyone. Don't ever let them desensitize you to this.
If someone flips out and shoots a bunch of people it's in headlines for days, but if powerful individuals calmly orchestrate the slaughter of many times more people overseas it barely makes the news. This isn't sane or normal, and it's so vital that we remain aware of that.
It's so important not to let them rob you of your humanity by convincing you to ignore imperialist warmongering. Don't let them put cataracts over your eyes and calluses on your heart like that. Mass military violence is a horror that should send shockwaves through your core.
