When the war on terror started and Western society took off its mask to reveal itself for the hapless anti-human monster it had always been I was quite depressed. I had a few issues of my own anyway but the constant news reports of gruesome deaths, torture camps and the way society embraced the new normal saddened me.

I was training Qigong back then and we always talked in class about the constant injustices playing out. My trainer said that the coalition of Western forces would eventually lose the war on terror because it was at best an imperialist venture that didn’t respect human life. It was just a front rather than a genuine war that needed to happen, things could have been done differently.

The way artists twenty years later reacted to the defeat of the occupation of Afghanistan was a case in point. The previously occupied were still the bad guys and now Hijabs would go back on, isn’t that part of their culture though? Does everyone have to grab a uranium enriched hamburger missile and embrace Western values because that is the way it should be?

Can you see what I am saying? Even in defeat we still criticise what we can’t control, yes CONTROL! Yet can’t control, get over it and do something less destructive and anti-human, anti-cultural. Nothing has changed and the wholesale destruction of Gaza and its citizens is what coalition militaries are all about. It is no surprise the Australian government has nothing genuine to say because they are part of the anti-human force of the past twenty years.

They have been killing innocent people the whole time, look at the Australian SAS and their track record, it is all just swept under the carpet and it is horrific. If you want to change anything it has been made harder by the fact that we are marred by stricter protest laws, heavy handed militarised police and a system that does not respect life or culture (Aboriginal deaths in custody) really it is so far gone and I have no faith in Western culture or its double standard values.
