I just finished WHY WE FIGHT, a documentary about America, war, empire, the military-industrial complex, etc.[sigh]
Sometimes I don't know why I watch stuff like this. I already live with a huge sense of anxiety. But still I'm drawn to that which makes me think and feel restless, those things that cause me to think (and hopefully live) differently.
It's quite the film.
And partner that with McLaren's latest book which I'm reading. I just read the chapter on military spending and the myth of strategic sufficiency. Wow.If you want to have your mind blown and your heart broken open, check these two things out.
