Summary

The author expresses vehement opposition to war, criticizing the artificiality of national borders and the political machinations that lead to conflict, emphasizing that citizens, unlike governments, have no interest in warfare.

Abstract

The web content presents a passionate anti-war diatribe by Frank T Bird, who decries the concept of borders as imaginary and the resulting conflicts as senseless. He points out the absurdity of citizens being drawn into conflicts that are instigated by governments for their own gain. The author emphasizes that the common people, who are often of diverse nationalities and live harmoniously, suffer the most from these political power plays. He suggests that the true decision-makers in wars are shielded from the consequences of their actions, while ordinary citizens bear the brunt of the suffering. The piece calls for a rejection of the notion that citizens are complicit in their governments' wars and advocates for a clear distinction between the actions of governments and the will of the people.

Opinions

  • Borders and national identities are fabricated constructs with no real basis in the lives of ordinary people.
  • The citizens of the world, who generally desire peace, are manipulated into supporting wars that serve the interests of politicians and corporations.
  • The true nature of war is obscured by media and propaganda, which falsely present conflicts as being between the citizens of different countries.
  • Politicians and government officials are portrayed as cowardly and disconnected from the realities of war, as they do not suffer its direct consequences.
  • The author suggests a radical solution to global conflict: pitting world leaders against each other in a gladiatorial contest, symbolizing the futility and brutality of war.
  • There is a call to action for individuals to recognize the artificiality of war and to refuse to be implicated in the violent actions of their governments.
  • The piece condemns the corporate interests that drive wars and warns citizens not to be deceived by the perceived benefits of conflict.

BORDERs ARE MAKE-BELIEVE, YOU MORONS

I Will Never Be At War With The Russians

Citizens don’t fight wars. Governments do

Beautiful Moscow (Wikicommons)

I’ve met loads of Russians in my life, and I’ve loved every one of the bastards.

It’s one reason I am so fucking mad when I look at my newsfeed and see that,

‘Russia is gonna invade Ukraine’

Cos I know it means that the US supposedly must go to war with Russia. And that means Australia — the US’s mentally disadvantaged younger brother — will follow their older sibling into that war.

I live in this imaginary country called Australia, and everyone I know here would never start a war with the Russians or the Chinese or anyone for that matter.

Part of the reason is that many of my neighbours are Chinese, and there are at least a couple of Russians on the block.

We don’t walk out into the street in the morning and start swinging our cocks in each other's faces, and we don’t try to take over each other’s gardens to make more room for guests at our summer barbecues.

We live together in relative peace.

samer daboul

Sometimes it baffles me how we ended up getting ruled by morons.

Then I remember that people without morals rise to power because they have more options at their disposal.

You can’t get to the top without ramming your cold metal dick in someone's arsehole until it bleeds and having someone’s cold metal dick rammed in yours till it is as raw as a badger’s tongue. (Politically speaking. Nothing to do with actual anal sex which is perfectly reasonable)

  • Countries aren’t real. You know that, right? Someone made the name up at some point.
  • Borders aren’t real either. They are make-believe.
  • Do you know some fucker from marketing designed yer flag at some point?
  • And some music nerd wrote the turd of a boring fucking national anthem that you sing each day with your hand on your heart like a mental patient.

Everything is fabricated by someone at some point.

To argue that someone does or doesn’t own territory in the world holds less weight in reality than discussing the origins of the Griffindor common room.

It’s not real, you fucking morons.

Governments need to grow up

Imagine being a graphic designer for the military.

‘Frank, we are starting a new crack unit. We need a badge that reflects our courage and strength under pressure. Do you think you can handle it?’

SIR YES SIR

Military badge by FTB

How often do ya think about the fact that somebody somewhere does marketing and design for the military?

Who comes up with the scary badges, the tough-looking uniforms and the word names of crack units?

Do they hire someone on Fiverr? or, more likely is there some knob sat somewhere in a US military uniform working on an iMac?

Which unit were you with Son?

Sir, the United States Graphic Design Corp Sir.

Everything is make-believe. Crack units, badges, flags, names of countries, borders, ranks — it’s all fantasy. A DANGEROUS FUCKING FANTASY

Have you ever noticed that citizens never start wars?

Citizens don’t invade other countries.

We want to get on with our lives. We don’t give a fuck about territory. And yet somehow, we get hypnotised into using language that suggests that we are at war with the citizens of another country.

The media sucks us into thinking we are at war. But, we aren’t.

It is governments that are going to war with each other. It has absolutely fuck all to do with any of the people.

But governments never get fucked up by war. Even in a nuclear war, they will be hiding underground.

Politicians are the fucking cowards that hide in safety, directing their marketing teams to write Uncle Sam scripts to conscript the people into,

‘fighting for the cause’.

The people who have fuck all to do with the war are the ones that suffer.

  • We are the ones who get fucking drones flying over.
  • We are the ones getting hit by the missiles.
  • We are the ones losing our loved ones.
  • We are the ones who end up living in hell

While the cowardly cunts who are actually at war hide in safety.

Do governments make your blood boil yet? (Wikicommons)

We need to stop using the term WE when we talk about going to war.

We are not going to war.

THEY are going to war — our governments — against each other.

It has fuck all to do with us, and we need to make that clear.

And it’s fucking UNFAIR that the Media trains citizens to refer to wars as being between US and THEM when they are between THEM and THEM

Government v Government

We should stick Putin and Biden and Xi Jinping and Boris Johnson and all the other tie-wearing psycho-lunatic bellends into a giant arena.

Give them gladiator weapons and make them wear skirts. We can watch them hack each other to pieces since that is what they all seem so damn passionate about.

We can make a reality TV series about it called:

Politicians Decapitating Eachother

The Romans used to watch people hack each other up cos they had no internet (Wikicommons)

Now, of course, there will be over-educated fuck-knuckles who try and explain the politics of war to me, I’m sure.

Yesh but Frank ya know, the balanshe of world power ish….

Fuck you.

There’s no fucking excuse for going to war against another country, and if you are a citizen that thinks it’s a good idea, you are nothing short of a psychopathic excuse of a piece of shit.

You are everything that is wrong with the world.

I want to find every Russian in the world and every Ukrainian and Chinese person — in fact, fuck it, every citizen of the world— and say:

  • I WILL NEVER BE AT WAR WITH YOU.
  • I WASH MY HANDS OF THIS GOVERNMENT’S VIOLENT ACTIONS
  • THE CITIZENS OF MY COUNTRY HAVE FUCK ALL TO DO WITH THESE ACTIONS

FUCK GOVERNMENTS — PSYCHOPATHIC MAFIA-RUN CORPORATE STOOGES.

We suffer because of them.

They wage war to support corporate interests and nothing more.

Don’t be a fool that thinks there is a benefit to any of it.

WAR What is it good for? ABSOLUTELY FUCK ALL YOU PRICKS

If they want to fight wars, let them fucking do it themselves — in an arena and let the rest of us get on with our lives.

War or Peace? (Wikicommons)
