My dude, I am a statesian and I'm gonna be honest, I don't give a shit about the dead ones. They are dead. For them the struggle is over. They are free. I care about the alive ones. I've been picking up the pieces of capitalism and the military industrial complex, especially predatory loans and people naive about the tax structure of the country and helping them figure out how to not only protect themselves from undue taxation but give back to their communities at levels they are comfortable with,for so long I don't want to admit. It's thankless work but someone has to do it

    Except those dead ones had families that cared for them. Dead children that will no longer get an education and improve the world. Dead people who were in the workforce, delivery drivers, postal workers, cooks, nurses, teachers. I'm sure you'd care a whole lot more if you're relative was sick, but there aren't any doctors alive or even a functional hospital around, and you wouldn't even be able to drown your sorrow at your local maccies is closed because it can't get ingredients delivered.

    I get that it's impossible to feel a personal sorrow for everyone who dies in a war, but you can at the very least emphasise with them.

    And who will spend the rest of their lives angry at those who killed their families.

    That is how you create future terrorists.
