If the problem was as simple as a few individuals and had no benefits it would not persist -- this is a Hollywood view of the world that won't help you understand your opposition.

Things that benefit only few can persist for a very long time. And US politics is full of those.

No, it's quite simple. US imperialism only benefits the select elites of the country at the expense of the poor.

Why are you denying the absolutely destructive power of the US military and it's abject failure in not only making the world safer for Americans but explicitly more dangerous?

Are you personally benefiting from US imperialism?

  • This was not the point of GP's comment. The point was that your reductive take on the military-industrial complex as "a few dozen psychopaths" is simplistic and won't help you understand your opposition.

    Also, please refrain from making personal allegations.
