I watched this movie called Frozen, not the Disney one.
It's funny, my wife and my stepmom were like, you want to watch Frozen?
And I was like, okay, I guess.
But it was actually a movie about, like, people stuck on a ski lift.
And I was like, oh.
And then they get eaten by wolves, just something.
I'm like, wolves don't do this.
I mean, I guess they're starving, but that's not how wolves, but whatever.
The point is, I think that an LG, anyone smart enough would understand, it's the same thing with the military-industrial complex and the liberal economic order and all of these things.
You don't want to agree with, you don't want to watch the horrible things the U.S.
has done around the world.
You also don't want to live in a second or third world country.
Second or third world meaning, you don't want to be in third world, an undeveloped nation, unaligned with limited resources.
Second world, you don't want to be a vassal state to one of the global hegemonic powers.
You don't want to be working at the behest of China, which has become one of the dominant powers on the planet.
And so...
It's easy to look at the system and complain about it and criticize the actions of the United States without seeing the alternative.
That is, if we were being chased by wolves and bombed every day, we would be begging for this system.
I'm not justifying the bad things the U.S.
does.
