Congress did not delacre war, making all orders to attack Iran, illegal. Soldiers are obligated to refuse illegal orders. Yet none are. Don't put your hope in soldiers to prevent Trump admin from committing horrific war crimes, or lightning the constitution on fire and seizing power.
He got torn apart by Trump behind closed doors and now he's overcompensating for his failures by being even more abusive than usual to try and salvage this and win daddy Trump's approval again. Because conservatives think hitting harder and being less empathetic is obviously the solution and since Trump is a raging narcissist and has zero empathy, the standard for what's acceptable is anything that doesn't harm Trump. Why would anyone think Trump, the racist, serial child rapist, would give a fuck about some brown children getting blown apart?
Cuz he's a bumbling idiot who convinced other bumbling idiots that he's smart. He never has a plan, he just wings everything, making decisions on impulse like a toddler.
It's perfectly fair to debate the degree of responsibility individuals have. However, there is a limit to the effective resistance and wisdom each individual is capable of when constantly bombarded by propaganda all day every day. Its in our schools, our media and entertainment, the news, the marketing campaigns of corporations shoving ads in our face everywhere we go, in the political messaging, even academics and science is used to propogate falsehoods and distortions. It is not reasonable in my view to expect an individual, especially in the education and science hostile red states, to be capable of navigating the labyrinth of propaganda and deceit to find truth. We are shaped and molded by our cultural environment from birth and just being capable of acknowledging your own culture is maybe bullshit is a significant feat.
We are not built to resist the intensity, frequency or repetition of the messages we are bombarded with. These groups are also pouring billions into finding more sophisticated and effective ways to shape our beliefs and behaviors. We are, from beith, under siege from a relentless attempt to make us behave one ways that benefit others and not ourselves.
I don't know how much is whose responsibility but the individual isn't the one who is creating the situation that necessitates the question. So primarily it's the fault of those manipulating that population for creating the situation in the first place. Their goal is control. The more effective they are at that, the more responsibility they have.
Schools should be required to only teach facts across all fields.
