You may have taken my response too seriously, (police state, 5 years, my own prediction. I did write “might” instead of “are”), my bad.
But this part is worth discussing. You see, while you’re right in that a handful of people benefit directly from these wars, aren’t you also now holding this up as the reason to not be concerned about these signs? (Insofar as your concern is for the poor bastards that tried to do this), and isn’t “their”, that is, the 1% concerns now an umbrella providing real (perceived, my opinion) security? Aren’t you now coming off as glad (I’m not saying you personally are, just that it could be interpreted that way), that everybody knows not to mess with you in your soil?
I’m not trying to question anything you wrote, I just didn’t realize you were completely serious
about it and responded in a half serious tone myself.
Now, being completely serious, I doubt that anybody in power cares who the citizens think should be “droned”, I agree with what you said, its the people in power’s best interest what’s going to trigger any action here. My best guess, this isn’t going to be treated as a national emergency, they could spin it that way, its just my opinion that they won’t
I’ll just finish by letting you know that I am from Mexico, living in Mexico and acutely aware of the way the US intervenes here, like for example how the violence has escalated BECAUSE of the US war on drugs, and funnily enough, this proves you right, when you talk about blow back.
Edit: Oh and about the public putting up with any shit: About this part, I’m sorry to say, you are clueless and its a little bit insulting for you to say it, especially since a lot of this has come about in your name, not supported by you personally, (as you’ve made clear) but that distinction only matters if you live in the US, to everybody else its still the US buying drugs and the US pushing us to fight it, so long as the bloodshed stays on our side, once it reaches your soil though… like you said, blow back.
