People Don’t Want Wars—Nations Want War, and Billionaires Get Richer

People don’t want wars. Nations want war—at least, that’s the vibe when the civic script switches from “we just want peace” to “don’t worry, it’s not your bill.” The bill, though? Blood shed, trauma, $ debt, and higher prices—filed under “profits not people,” like your body is just another line item they can charge interest on.

And somehow the system still acts shocked that people don’t benefit from war. Ever. Peace is the front-desk smile; war is the backend auto-pay. Defense contracts profits soar, war profits record high, and the whole time billionaires get richer—while ordinary folks get the refund policy written in rubble.
