By Caitlin JOHNSTONE | Medium | December 22, 2018 Since I last wrote about the bipartisan shrieking, hysterical reaction to Trump’s planned military withdrawal from Syria the other day, it hasn’t gotten better, it’s gotten worse.

I examine all three in the context of a failing economic system, recounting the history and economics of the UK's relationship with the EU, and complain about how some of the world's great entertainment franchises are run by total incompetents.

It is absolutely bat shit crazy that endless war is normalized while the possibility of peace and respecting national sovereignty to any extent is aggressively abnormalized. In a sane world the exact opposite would be true, but in our world this self-evident fact has been obscured.
