War drums thundering in the distance,

Another tragedy exploited for public insistence.

Meanwhile media continues to demonize any resistance,

Seeking to quell dissent with persistence.

The masses are raised on doses of propaganda,

Never taught to question if there's a shadowy agenda.

North Korea, Syria, Russia, Iran and Pakistan,

No one ever considers why we've already drawn invasion plans.

This isn't some cry for conspiracy,

More of a reminder to reflect upon history.

Dead children broadcast to produce motives,

While diplomatic attempts are corroded.

If you disagree, than you are the enemy,

Publicly shamed and regarded as a threat you see.

So Mr. Media Mongol, don't tell me who I'm supposed to hate,

Blindly accepting your narrative so it's easier to accept their fate.

Because when you regard someone as subhuman,

Atrocities are easier to swallow when they're shoed in.

Critical thinking has always been the enemy of powermongers. That's why they are one of the first caste's to dissapear/ be oppressed.

  • Soviet Russia - purged

  • Chinese revolution - purged

  • Cuban revolution - purged

  • Iranian revolution - purged

  • Russia - purging and oppressing

  • Turkey under Erdogan - purging and persecuting

  • Teaparty - Scientists are the enemy

  • Trump - fake news / the press is the enemy

It's just so depressing to witness it first hand.

Visiting voat is like visiting a friend who has had their mental capabilities diminished from excessive drug use or something.

The general IQ and critical thinking skills have decreased to such an astounding level that it's nearly physically sickening some days.

I used to know that the new user base didn't reflect general society, but now I'm just not so certain of that.

I'll never tell someone what to think, regardless how much I believe I'm right. But I implore on every single person, just fucking think for yourself.
