Everyone’s anti-war until the war propaganda starts.

Virtually everyone will tell you they love peace and hate war; war is the very worst thing in the world, and no healthy person relishes the thought of it.

But when the rubber meets the road and it’s time to oppose war and push for peace, those who’d previously proclaimed themselves “anti-war” are on the other side screaming for more weapons to be poured into a proxy war that their government deliberately provoked.

This is because the theory of being anti-war is very different from the practice. — Caitlin A. Johnstone
