When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

*Focusing on recent / ongoing conflicts!

    Gotta be detached from reality to think the following don’t exist in USA:

    • martial law (eg. ICE)
    • security state expansion
    • changes to legal system
    • censorship
    • crackdowns on protests

    It’s also very strange to act like USA is not involved in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

    This meme gets 1/5 stars.
