There is no peace movement, there won’t be ever again. Citizens will ignore the wars and entertain them selves by rage posting about either the red or blue team
There's no draft, nobody feels any personal danger so they don't care - the peace movement of the 1960s was a direct result of young white men fearing the draft, deciding that made them an oppressed group, and looking to the recently successful black civil rights battles as inspiration to start marching and occupying places.
Now, they just fear brown people in their neighborhoods, bombings by people who dress funny and write in squiggles, and international pedophile rings - things that, if anything, threaten them even less than wars they will never see. Some of them fear that wars and mass imprisonment will end, because they're employed in the industries that supply those things.
I think we all actually are legitimately powerless to stop the war machine and the majority of Americans who actually support it... so the rest of us are lost to apathy.
And yeah, I believe that we are legit powerless to do anything about it. No party is a peace/non-intervention party.
I don’t think that most Americans support the war aspect of the machine. It’s apathy for some and learned helplessness for others.
It's up to us who believe something else to convince more people and achieve critical mass, which will make the difference.
