    Task failed

    Yes. Every effort to prevent the war failed. Still seems like we should move in the direction of the movement's most successful aspects. No one remembers Kerry's limp-dicked criticism of the war. People do remember the WMD lie.

    you’ve spent 2 hours reading articles and applying an (often useful) heuristic

    And we've made it to the projection step of anti-intellectualism.

      I haven't read any articles actually. Why would I read articles on this when I cant verify their content or materially engage with the subject matter.

      Unless I wanted to take the opportunity to preen of course.

      There were no successful aspects of the antiwar movement. Not if we're measuring the movement by is (ostensible) intended purpose. ANSWER may have been successful in making you feel popular or smart. But that's not what I care about.

            What mentality is causing climate change lol

            A few banks own the military & the oil industry. It's not a matter of "mentality."

              Greenhouse gas emissions are causing climate change actually. Not banks or oil.

              That's you. That's what you sound like.

                No. I'm describing the actual social power which prevents change from happening. It's not a "mentality."
