While it feels unfair to say "we", what have you done to stop this?

Have you protested? Written to your representatives? Contributed to a NGO fighting these things? Etc.

Or did you let your tax money fund this destruction with little opposition?

I'm being harsh, and probably a hypocrite. But it's easy to be against something in words, but do little to change it sitting comfortably and safe at a distance.




> Have you protested?

I did. I even almost got arrested on multiple occasions for it.

> Written to your representatives?

Hell, I went to Washington DC and their local offices on multiple occasions and told them to their faces what I thought of them for doing what they were doing.

Didn't do a damn thing, could have done more. Should have done more.


We can't even vote for one party over another, since both are pro-war.


Stop voting for parties, vote for people instead.

Doesn't always work out but I think the odds are better.


I left the country.

Now, I sleep soundly knowing my taxes get wasted on road works instead of death works.
