🇺🇸 Today I learned of the "War on Violence". Paradoxical as it sounds, I felt it perfectly captured much of US domestic & foreign policy.

From the "War on Drugs" to current conflicts, the US continues to invoke the prevention of violence as a pretext for unleashing far more of it on the world 🪖🚀💔

Screenshot of the TV show Marshals preview on https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0L6EHGWD6NDPAO6VEZAM68BVYX/. "War on violence" is underlined in red, with an American flag resembling arrow pointing toward it. In the background, a U.S. marshal is riding a horse, and two U.S. Marshal badges are circled in red.

I'd like to congratulate violence for winning the war on violence...

    Has anyone watched Yellowstone? I watched a short on youtube a few days ago and since then a lot more. It looks kinda dumb and like a country music fans fantasy but I have to admit I'm a bit morbidly curious.

    It started when we invaded drugs. Then next was Terror and I guess now we're invading violence. I can't even find those on the map. I hope they declare a war on sadness
