    Handful of evil bastards have convinced billions of grown ass men and women that the Boogeyman is a real.

    Buckle up, cause shit’s about to hit the fan.

    We need another pandemic to straighten things out for humans.

      The war in Ukraine seems quite real, and so does America’s growing isolationism and taste for autocracy. In a visibly more unstable and divided world, a greater focus on defence is sensible.

      How we are going to pay for it however is another question.

        People’s safety cannot be guaranteed solely by weapons, which we all have a ton of. We see the result of that defensive doctrine in the middle east.

        Stability breeds stability : guarantee people’s food security, healthcare access, decent housing, social tensions relief programs… That’s what makes a country united against uncertainty.
