This is all a stark illustration of what has become a deeply cynical but highly effective tactic. Support for institutions of militarism and policies of imperialism is now manufactured by parading them under the emotionally manipulative banners of progressive social causes.
I'm reminded of an article I read a little while back:QuoteThis is all a stark illustration of what has become a deeply cynical but highly effective tactic.

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
Ironchew: Despairingly they refuse to give into despair and see no bright end of the tunnel...oh, this fills me with such despair, that they will not despair. Oh despair~
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
