      'cause when it’s in reverse it ain’t wrong no more

      Warfare’s the terrorism of the rich

      This is like mobster tactics or something, terrorist tactics is indiscriminate bombing, collective punishment, scorched earth, torture, targeting civilians, targeting humanitarian efforts, disproportionate responses. Everything they’ve been doing until now.
