When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

*Focusing on recent / ongoing conflicts!

Gotta be detached from reality to think the following don't exist in USA:

martial law (eg. ICE)
security state expansion
changes to legal system
censorship
crackdowns on protests

It's also very strange to act like USA is not involved in Ukraine, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, etc.

This meme gets 1/5 stars.
