    Sounds like a boomer stuck in the cold war era. There can be a world without the military industrial complex controlling narratives. This defeatist "it's the way it is" attitude is exactly why democracy has failed and we're in a military / tech oligarchy, with increasing anxiety and poverty being inflicted on the wider population. You are in good company, at least you have that.

      Lmao I was born in the late 80s.

      Also that’s like… not at all, in any way, what I was expressing. I was saying that for entities who either can’t or don’t want to utterly annihilate each other, in a tactical and strategic context, grinding conflicts will NEVER go out of style.
