The most serious issue on this planet is wars and unnecessary deaths.

[CreamCat]

In particular, wars going on in the middle east. There are people who orchestrate deaths in middle east to maximize human suffering and deaths, and they get rich for it and do not get punished for it. They feel joy from killing people. This is bullshit.

If you care about humanity, this should take this seriously.

The same people who are doing that are controlling USA. They will keep controlling USA no matter who the president is. Which president people choose matters less than stopping the death machine because the death machine will also control US presidents. Even Donald Trump is just a russian puppet. An individual cannot fight an entire industry of psychopathic death machines even if that individual is the US president.

It's important to expose those rich bastards.

I don't get it, are you saying the Russians are pulling the strings behind the Middle East conflicts and the US govt? Is anyone controlling Putin or is he the top dog? This sounds like a conspiracy theory, what's the evidence? 

[CreamCat]

I didn't say russians are directly behind the middle east wars. I merely wanted to say that US presidents are puppets in one way or another. Trump is a russian puppet because russians own trump financially.

Donald Trump is not just a russian puppet. He is probably also a puppet of military-industrial complex.

@CreamCat  ah yes that makes sense, in the current system politicians need a lot of cash to get elected so end up owing a lot of favours in return. I think Leo suggests in his politics videos, state funding of political parties & election campaigns to reduce this problem, which sounds a good step.

Why are people and their wars the most serious issues? What about nature? The ecology might just collapse around us while people are busy fighting each other. 

The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction. Bird species are starving and dying for this reason How many articles have been published about this topic? Very few. 

We don't like to deal with this topic because we all know we personally contributed to the destruction. It's easier to be angry about those "mean powerful people" who control politics and enjoy killing. We don't want to deal with the fact that we are all selfish. Killing insects, animals, each other is the same thing.

"The US military is the largest institutional consumer of oil in the world. Every year, US armed forces consume more than 100 million barrels of oil to power ships, vehicles, aircraft, and ground operations—enough for over 4 million trips around the Earth, assuming 25 mpg."

"The US military is the biggest purchaser of oil in the world."

"The U.S. Department of Defense remains to be the nation’s and the world’s biggest polluter, producing 750,000 tons of toxic waste annually. This rate was higher than the toxic waste generated by five of the largest chemical companies combined. According to experts, the Pentagon’s hazardous pollution trail came in forms of depleted uranium, oil, and jet fuels as well as pesticides, defoliants such as Agent Orange and lead, and other chemicals."
