Also, I have seen the phrase “national security” thrown around twice today, in two separate, distinct contexts. Whenever that phrase comes out, it means the government has done, is doing, or is about to do something unethical. No such thing as a state, only cooperating tribes of people. And ‘national security’ is a euphemism for ensuring the security of the oligarchy, their pet state tribe, and maybe the people, if it’s convenient. In that order. State security is irrelevant. Only life matters.
