well, i was depressed, and back when i was depressed, i smoked ALOT of weed, and weed makes me think, and when i think i think for along time, so i was once thinking about the government, for a long time, and i asked myself whats the REAL meaning behind war? well for some, people may think that war is for power and control, sure ok sounds good, BUT what if war is meant to cover up some major problems that the government has, like back when iraq was being invaded, did ANYONE pay attention to what is happening relatively close to us? if there were some shooting next door that would have made your local news but they were to busy broadcasting the war? what could have been going on right in front of you? because you were all to blinded by the war?
now the government may read this and if its right i could be dead by morning but if they so chose to read this just know this, to me, your on a "thin leash"
anyways rant over judging off what i "wrote" here what do you ppl think?
"what if war is meant to cover up some major problems that the government has"
This is absolutely true, in some cases but not all. In an example from the UK government, where I'm from, many people on the left suspect that the failure to try and avoid the Faukland's War in the 1980s was partly due to Margret Thatcher's dip in popularity as Prime Minister. It's no secret, and I'm sure the government isn't coming for you, silly, so don't worry. Wartime generally sees a temporary boost in popularity for a country's leaders, so allowing a war to happen is a dirty trick politicians can use to get themselves out of sticky domestic situations. I'm sounding like a right conspiracy theorist here :P I'm sure there are American examples too, but I don't know enough American history.
But there are situations where the opposite is true, such as the Vietnam War. President Johnson was unable to execute his domestic reforms because the length of the war made him unpopular, so he actually *suffered* domestically.
So yeah, what you say is sometimes - but not always - true. That's what I think :P
( Sorry OP, I know this is way off-topic. I couldn't resist :P It's a very good question by the way. I wish more people had responded; maybe they will later :) )
are depressed people more likely to see through illusions in life?
