This picture... How does anyone think that putting these two in front of your flag looks patriotic rather than all the worst, nightmare aspects of militaristic?

#Militarism is exceptionally dangerous, which is why it was always excluded from the @EIB's portfolio. But now we're using "dual-use" to circumvent that, to send €6b to the military industrial complex. This is lunacy. The bank should go back to the job it was supposed to do.

Militaries and arms companies can reduce emissions, but you can’t greenwash an industry of mass murder and destruction https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/2023/07/20/militaries-and-arms-companies-can-reduce-emissions-but-you-cant-greenwash-an-industry-of-mass-murder-and-destruction/ #ArmsTrade #EndTheArmsTrade #Militarism #MilitaryWarCrimes #Colonialism #ColonialOccupation #FossilFuels #ClimateEmergency

President Joe Biden’s decision to send potentially hundreds of thousands of cluster munitions to Ukraine has drawn wide condemnation. And for good reason.

Two F35s just flew quite low over my home.
They cost Dutch taxpayers about €130 M each.
Fuel consumption is variously quoted as about 2 gallons per mile or 22 gallons per minute.
i.e. stated in the same way as domestic automobiles that's about 1500l/100 km.
Military emissions are ignored by international agreements on climate change.
But those things are but a tiny fraction of the aircraft flying over our heads.
This is grim.

Basically the layer two #LightningNetwork has made it easy to spend money when a person really wants to spend, without transaction fees and mining. But perhaps #LN's greatest achievement is solving #communication without #spam. (see our past writings re for example #SphinxChat if memory serves)
Its highly, highly #enabling. We'd say its 'enabling' quality has *accelerated* #militarism, and online attacks on #banking infrastructure, all in hopes of quashing an advancement in progress.

They want to boost #militarism, and bugger our chances at achieving sustainability. Obviously Afganistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, et al were not enough for these non-elect cretins, they now want us to blame #Russia and no doubt #China for everything.

Business, especially big business, is now organized like an army. It is, as some would say, a sort of mild militarism without bloodshed; as I say, a militarism without the military virtues.

"Tucker was the cable host who most:
* Opposed US proxy war in #Ukraine;
* Denounced #CIA, #FBI and #DHS for its systemic lies and corruption;
* Devoted himself to a pardon for #JulianAssange;
* Objected to regime change efforts in Cuba;
* Criticized #Trump Admin's #militarism." - #GlennGreenwald

🎬 This scene from "Room for One More" (1952) is #Fascist AF!
🇺🇸 The wayward boy comes correct for god, family, community and flag and is rewarded with a Eagle Scout pin in a ceremony #AlbertSpeer could have produced.

I don't actually track these things very closely. I wonder if the jingoistic nostalgia/revisionism peaked during the Howard government? But the new arms race vs China will surely see the tradition maintained.
