As someone who grew up politically during the Iraq war saga, it really amazes me there's not more widespread opposition to the current war on Iran, which is astronomically expensive and destructive, and demonstrably unpopular.
We’re talking about millions of people displaced! Global supply chains and economies destroyed! Thousands killed!
It used to be a trope that the craziest warmongers in the U.S. wanted to “bomb Iran” but I once felt that it could never happen.
Yet here we are and it kind of feels like the American public sleepwalked into it or simply just isn’t interested.
There was MASSIVE public debate about Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine, and Gaza, but seemingly very little on Iran.
It’s like the most digital we get, the more desensitized to war we become, even though it has become much easier to actually see what is going on
