Speaking of fake anti-war people, it kills me that various people on Newgrounds were critical of the Iraq war, but not Clinton's No-fly Zones. (Or for that matter, Obama's drone strikes.) In other words, last decade's anti-war movement consisted mostly of frauds, intellectually dishonest cowards, and partisan hacks.Shane Skekelhttp://fightingseraph.newgrounds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20077444.post-19576639933114923082015-11-16T22:48:47.753-06:002015-11-16T22:48:47.753-06:00Thanks for writing this, Sheldon. We are slowly go...Thanks for writing this, Sheldon. We are slowly going back to the status quo of the 17th and 18th century, but with 21st century technology. Quite bad.<br /><br />Also, no religious alternative to the State. Which is also pretty bad. Atheocracy is as bad as theocracy.<br /><br />People here want less freedom and more State. More control, more "security". They don't realize the moral qualities of the functionaries, the legislators and the executives. People think "they" (the ruling class) are better and know what to do better than them. This is mostly an effect of public education.<br /><br />For anyone reading this, a clarification is in order. There are many fake anti-war people in Europe. Basically, they are only against "capitalist" wars (also called: neoliberal wars, conservative wars, patriarchal wars, reactionary wars and antidemocratic wars). Most antiwar europeans have no problem with wars to establish communism, ecologism, or wars to fight the market. The only thing they hate more than free market is the "jews". Anti-semitism in Europe is today a communist/marxist/socialist earmark, for the most part. Very few "rightists" have any ill thought for the jews today. Of course, this can roll back to traditional european hate for the jews. But as long as communists hate the jews, the right-wingers and burgoisie will not show any hate towards the jews.<br /><br />You will not find a real antiwar european in any university.<br /><br />europeannoreply@blogger.com
