There Is No War On Drugs, Extremism Or Terror!
The governments of USA, UK and Europe appear to be fighting many wars. They claim to be fighting a war on terrorism, extremism, hate speech, drugs, fake news. They fight secret wars, drug wars, information wars, we could be approaching a war on Russia while still fighting Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Falklands. They do spend a lot of our taxes on fighting these wars.
But surely thats OK isn’t it? After all these wars are being fought for us and against enemies of freedom, right? Wrong, if they were fighting these wars for us they would be fighting wars on poverty, exploitation or oppression! I believe these wars do not exist and there is only one war that is real, that is the war rich/establishment vs poor/the rest of us. They call them things like the “war on drugs” but what does the war on drugs lead to? It leads to harsh punishments to drug addicts instead of help and support. Pablo Escobar has been dead for over 25 years yet Cocaine is still as easy as ever to get your hands on. There is just different middle men, making the money and controlling the supply and I bet the men at the top are not Colombian but American and state sponsored.
They stir up race wars and use racism to keep us divided but this war is not about race its about control, if we are all focusing on each other how can we focus on the real enemy? Which is the corporate and bank controlled state.
The so called war on terror has led in an increase in terrorism because if you fight terrorism using terrorism all you are going to end up with is more terrorism. Than we have the war on extremism and hate speech, but what is extremism and hate speech? There is no clear definition on extremism or hate speech and this is deliberate. In my view most of our mainstream media could easily be categorized as hate speech and promoting extremism but thats not who they are after. The war on extremism, fake news and hate speech is really just a war on your freedom of speech, they’re not going after the corporate media they can and do carry on printing their hate filled racism and propaganda daily.
The government use fear and hate and create problems to control us, without problems there would be no need for a government. These problems are than solved by your government usually at the cost of a little freedom from the people and little more power to the state.

Hi, Wolvoman80! Great passion and truth in your post, thank you. I caught two "than" in your text that should be "then" please change that so the next reader doesn't have to stop and wonder what you are saying as I have.
In my opinion, we have to find an issue that could unite all the ordinary people together to dispute the top layer of society. And this issue should be, in my opinion, the weapons of mass destructions they have and produce. There is no justification for our government or any one in possessing weapons that can annihilate everyone indiscriminately. I have just started making some posts on the issue here https://steemit.com/philosophy/@simonluisi/activist-protester-against-nuclear-armament
and all over my wall this week.
Wolvoman80 , what is the government to you ? Anybody that works for them, like city librarians or the police or are you strictly talking about elected politicians?
I'm talking about governments in general it seems that human nature and greed take over but I acknowledge among the worst offenders are the USA, UK and Europe
