DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://mastodon.social/@sibrosan" class="u-url mention">@sibrosan</a> So, after reviewing articles and my notes, it seems pretty clear that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BigBanks</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeaponsManufacturers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WeaponsManufacturers</a> encouraged Putin's invasion of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Ukraine</a> because they would make an obscene amount of profit from such a war. For whatever reason, some western nations (including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Trump</a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#USA</a>), did not nip Putin's bluff in the bud, and their hesitancy emboldened <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Putin</a>. This is what happens when war profiteers are running things. No thought given to civilian deaths, destruction, and environmental damage. Same thing is going on in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Israel</a>. We should have said, "Hey, cut it out. You're committing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WarCrimes</a>!" but instead the US supplied even more weapons to Israel ('cuz <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Raytheon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Raytheon</a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LockheedMartin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LockheedMartin</a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Boeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Boeing</a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Halliburton" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Halliburton</a> ) need to make enough money to keep buying members of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Congress</a> (and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HouseOfLords" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HouseOfLords</a>). Does THAT answer your question?

GOSAn interesting article in The Independent claims the UK is now officially in its first ever 'Age of Atheism'. (<a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-atheist-god-belief-gervais-b2622164.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-atheist-god-belief-gervais-b2622164.html</a>) as there are now more atheists than theists in the UK.Clearly great news but makes it even more of a mystery why we still have 26 christian bishops appointed to law making positions in the House of Lords, why swearing on the bible is still a thing and why kids are still legally obliged to be force fed christian content in schools and why christian nationalists are on the rise amongst Tory MP's.We won't stop until its all gone.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#religion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atheism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#atheism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Satanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Satanism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#christianity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/theism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#theism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HouseOfLords" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HouseOfLords</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Parliament" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Parliament</a>
