“The US hunts down and kills very many innocents abroad by drone. It’s a bit of a sport—so much so that decadent New Rome has even established a ‘new medal that honors drone pilots and computer experts’ for their long-distance killing prowess. War-time slaughter has just been industrialized, streamlined, made more efficient in our times. Compare the demographic and economic indices of countries the US has invaded—for their own good, of course, but without their consent—before and after the ‘merciful’ intervention. The latter-day Rome has mechanized the warfare-state’s killing and has refined its propaganda wing to an art.”
