lyrycsyntyme commented on: Mr. Putin Is Crazy by williamjroneyiii 4 years 36 weeks* ago* Not nearly the whole world. 2: Not nearly the whole world. 2 different countries containing a billion people each have either explicitly taken Russia's side or are actively trading with Russia at this moment. Beware of propaganda, on all sides. It misleads us all, everywhere, and the rich get richer, stronger, more powerful. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: IN THE LAND WHERE SUNFLOWERS GROW by joy 4 years 36 weeks* ago* Sunflowers are beautiful.: Sunflowers are beautiful. Beyond attachment to the desires of men, at that. There are no good guys in war, and if one peels back the onion further in this case, it is found just the same. We present (only) our side of the story, Russia (only) presents theirs. Ukraine has their own. The truth is somewhere inbetween, held in the hands of small children, and all 3 entities have spent most of the last decade dreaming of how to make those hands a drone's target. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: THE MAIN REASON FOR NO MORE WARS by joy 4 years 36 weeks* ago* During the Korean War, bombs: During the Korean War, bombs and ammunitions, largely produced by the United States, killed 25% of the entire population of what today is known as North Korea. To do simple math, this means that about 1 in every 2 children likely lost a parent. We wonder why it's so easy for the government there to be anti-US. We've never tried to wear the smoldering shoes and understand, let alone put them on our own children's feet and have them walk a year through life. By the way, the potato famine created due to cruel british restrictions led to about a 25% death rate in Ireland, as well. In this case, it would be the grand children of the suffering who started the IRA, equipped with weapons after returning to "fight for the british" and die as infantry in massive rates in WW1. To stop the cycle of war, we're going to need to stop empire. That's where it begins. The heart of a few wanting to control the many. Most of us are capable of slipping into this mindset of wanting to make others do things our way. We must personally overcome that, and then encouraging others to do the same. If and when enough people have learned to "live and let live", the public will see the oligarchs of the world for what they truly are. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Alan Jay Lerner revised by saiom 4 years 36 weeks* ago* States are pies for oligarchs: States are pies for oligarchs and their puppeted rulers to divide. In this era, the dividers usually work together. Sometimes those knives clang and clash over an especially sweet piece of the pie. The civilians gathering the crumbs below face the sharp end of their bickering blades. [ go to comment ]
