Same as when we started bombing the last several nations we attacked, the “educational” programming is now heavily steeped in emotional programming about the last great war and how we all pulled together, did our part, and raised our flag. The implication: (more or less) this enemy is that enemy, this fight is that fight, this cause is that cause. It’s us for the sake of us. But no one asks now whether or not we aren’t worth saving, whether we’ve become so monstrous in our violence that we shouldn’t win, that perhaps even the illusion of self-defense that we use to cover our agression is a defense that shouldn’t be made. Perhaps we’d serve the world and benefit ourselves more by a sound “defeat”, though in reality we are not under attack, not under seige, and the sirens at night, the alerts, the “threat”, is just our posturing, our great lie.
