Conscription causes antiwar popularity. No draft at the present, although I did hear somewhere that the giant Pentagon wants to draft women into the military. With luck, that's fake news because women have no business killing folks.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:23 am So I'm not the only one that has noticed the absence of an anti-war movement in the US. I suppose it's just not 'trendy' at the moment.

Being is just gonna happen no matter where you are. To be, requires no movement. To be, is the still axis around which movement of becoming, swirls. The swirling is to move life to where conditions are conducive to change.
Those who immigrate to the country in order to be, and not for the purpose of becoming, bring the old ways and the wrong state of mind.
Another reason that the United States is the greatest country on the face of the earth is because of the set of divinely inspired principles that were recognized and codified by serious intellectuals possessed with an accurate knowledge of history and human nature. Given their circumstances they were driven by the need to gamble their lives and destiny with the all-in conviction required to live by those recognized principles.
This spirit appeals to immigrants who have the ambition to leave the past behind and step into the present, something that gets forgotten with the cultural clinging emphasis upon diversity as strength, during conditions of radical change of life (immigration), in which cultural diversity is nothing more than a load of mental baggage that sinks the becoming.
The US state of mind that encompasses the facts of human nature, which includes the corruption of ever-present truth, even encompassing the human nature intellectual growing pains that negate all via cynicism, allows for the change of becoming.
