A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.
From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).
The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations
I think for a lot of people seeing Bernie systematically crushed by the establishment was a wake up call. It demonstrated that the system cannot be reformed from within and that ultimately the bourgeoisie will close ranks to protect their own interests.
No matter how much you read or understand, someone is always going to come along and show you an essay from a century ago proving you wrong. Your classification and understanding of the issues is fundamentally misguided because you don't understand some niche schism that has absolutely no bearing on anything tangible to our world.
We've built a monolith that now stands unintelligible to the masses. Sure you can join our movement but first I need to to slog through 3 massive volumes of dense theory, then read everything written, by x,y,z, leader, and don't forget the rebuttals. It's almost impossible to get into because it requires years of dedicated study. It's worth it, but it ends up being an unending intellectual persuit more than anything.
It's chemical soup animated by electricity. Everything our bodies do is in response to some preceding event. You're alive because of an unbroken chain of life stretching back to the simplest natural chemical reactions. It's been a nonstop craving for energy and resources ever since then.
Humans give themselves far too much credit. Everything living on the planet is equally just as alive as any of us. We share a massive amount of genetic similarities to not just animals, but also plants and fungi. I'm not saying we should sacrifice a human life for that of a fly, but rather that, to the fly, it's life is just as meaningful and important as ours. Our existence is barely a blip in the planets history.
The dinosaurs spent millions of years dominating the Earth. How can we say, in our measly 200,000, that we are Gods favorite and uniquely bestowed a soul? What right have we to claim to be so elevated above all other life on Earth? We eat, breathe, die, the same as everything else in this world. The passage of time is unavoidable.
