I'm getting so tired of being part of the American industrial military Complex. There is so much blood directly on my hands for just being born in this godawful evil empire and I wish my $5 to charitable causes or volunteering or ANYTHING made a difference in the long term but it feels like nothing I could ever do could stop children from dying in Gaza and Kherson and the Mediterranean on flimsy inflatable floating deathtraps sent across the sea.

“AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST JONATHAN M. Katz’s new book, Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire, is an explosive deep dive into the forgotten history of American military imperialism in the early twentieth century. At its center is one of the United States’s most fascinating yet little-known characters — Gen. Smedley Butler, a Marine who fought in nearly every U.S. overseas war in the early twentieth century. In this exclusive excerpt, Katz documents how Butler played a pivotal role in an equally little-known episode, in which a cadre of powerful businessmen tried to overthrow the government of the United States, in an episode that anticipated the events of Jan. 6, 2021.” - Rolling Stone
