"If you work a job where you do something useful, you are on the losing side of this economy. All the real money is in this socially useless, no-value-creating, hypertrophied, metastasized finance sector. Every gain in finance is matched by a loss. It all amounts to – literally – nothing." by @pluralistic
Call it cynical, but we do need a serious re-evaluation of our concept of "worth". When we talk about economic growth, honestly question what is is that is growing.

@mizblueprint it's interesting to compare the Vietnam war at its least popular, when about sixty percent of Americans surveyed said that it was a mistake. Today, about 32% of Americans support the war in Gaza, so about 68% do not. The question is phrased differently, but the numbers are close.

@mizblueprint the question is not whether US citizens were involved, but how much we are divided.
One interesting thing is this analysis of polls from the time:

@coldfish the polls are very different from what you're assuming. About 71% of Republicans support the war; about 8% of Democrats. 25% of independents.

Interesting answers. I'd say, yes, but it's not apparent yet.
