All these “War on” political grandstanding does is kill a lot of people, increase a lot of taxes and inflate the poor into destitution.

War on Drugs. War on Terror. War on Cancer.

Same pig but different shades of lipstick.

Slogans like these help them keep expanding and hurting the people.

Edit: you've unfortunately been posting a ton like this (unsubstantive flamebait and name-calling). Please don't! We're trying for a different sort of forum.

If you want to silence people speaking their minds and instead of humming along and cheer your neo-communist vision of the future.

Then by all means go ahead and cancel me.

Keep your precious silicon valley socialist/totalitarian club to yourself.
