With 935 words, you'd think David Swanson could make a point. You'd think.
"How
Dare I Oppose War with Libertarians" is how you find the column but,
grasp, even if you find the column, you'll never find the point.
He's getting complaints, he writes, for announcing he'll be speaking at an anti-war rally with Libertarians.
Which Libertarians is the obvious question.
This isn't just about the government's war, a fact that escapes David.
A
lot changed on June 24, 2022. Prior to that, we could easily speak
with non-leftists against the war. There were rights and legal
protections.
Then DOBBS was
handed down and ROE V WADE was struck down while Justico Clarry Thomas
made clear in his concurring opinion that he now wanted to take on birth
control rights (do away with them), to take on marriage equality (do
away with it) and to take on what two adults do in the privacy of their
own bedroom. Justico Thomas -- a huge consumer of porn -- suddenly sees
himself monitoring every bed room.
No, we're not going to stand next to anti-abortion crazies, homophobes or people who want to terrorize trans persons.
Is
that who David is going to be standing with? We have no idea because,
despite using 935 words, he never names any speaker he'll be appearing
with on stage.
That does
make us wonder: Is he doing that intentionally? Does he grasp that he
has to cover these people up or he won't get support?
We
have no idea but without knowing who he is standing with, in the
climate we now live in, he's on his own and he made it that way.
