Why did this post make you ask if I'm really Black?

During the Iraq war I let people gaslight me into thinking I didn't know enough about "foreign policy" and "global politics" to say the war was a bad idea.

I would hesitate because, I'm not an expert on those things.

But I was right then and I'm right now.

You don't need to be an expert, it's not "so complex and best left to high level people." You know enough to see this makes no sense.

@Uair

We could halt the suffering caused by addiction so easily. At a fraction of the cost, with a tiny fraction of the attention and effort that has gone into this avarice driven war of choice.

None of these people care at all. Not even enough to do some performative things like IDK visit a recovery clinic and pat the people on the shoulder and say "I feel your pain" or whatever. Can't be bothered to even look.

But that pain will do for an excuse for their war.

No one buys this at all right?

We wouldn't spend a few thousand dollars on housing or rehabilitation ... but we'll sink millions just to keep those poisons from our borders.

Even if it were true it'd still make no damn sense.

Trump and congress care about drug addicts so much that they have gone to war to save them. Wow. There is no other way to keep opioids and the damage they cause out of our communities. We have been backed into a corner. The only solution is bombing the boats they claim are going to ... OK well not to the US... to Jamaica maybe. And maybe the boats didn't have opioids on them ... please don't look too closely this is all to save your wretched cousin from drugs. Because they care so much.

You can think about #sauropod necks for you whole life and never run out of questions to consider.

Here is a good video from a small but great channel.

The more I find humans confusing, frustrating and disappointing ... the more I like ants.

That is how I arrived here.

At least ants are good. At least the ants will survive and thrive someday on this planet.

War is hell.
What is it good for?
Making lots of money*

*not for you LOL. and if you don't agree you hate America.

@jenesuispasgoth

"Democrats" This word covers a huge variety of people and not all of them are doing the same thing at all.

"Libertarians" To the extent that they ever have any motion at all they have been totally captured by right wing think tanks and are worse than useless.

Look it's regime change it's what we always wanted. It must be what we wanted because its what we get no mater who gets elected.

Having another day where I feel like I need to go around saying "sorry for the USA I'm sorry about America I try to make it not like this but nobody listens to me"

This is what Matthew Hopkins tried to warn us of and we did not listen.

@cinebox @kristinHenry

Um. there are eight legs this is an arachnid of some kind.

@kristinHenry

Beetles move differently despite having the same number of legs. It's much more of a "crawl" Though most insects keep at least three legs on the ground at once.

I think the tiny waist of ants helps them to walk like that.

(video shows a beetle on glass walking it moves it's legs in sequence rather than in two tripod groups of three like an ant.)

@kristinHenry

I've often freaked people out by spotting a queen ant from a great distance... but they way they walk (due to all of the junk in the trunk) gives them away. It's a more exaggerated version of the typical ant walk which is also distinctive. IMO.

(Video shows how ants walk: with their legs in two groups of three like alternating tripods. )

@kristinHenry

I love this.

The next time you see queen ant notice the way that they tend to waggle as they walk. It's a similar kind of thing but different mechanics.
