I’m going to post less about this stuff because an impromptu twitter thread can’t do it justice and I don’t want to spam. I’ll be writing about this and more offline. — PolitiTweet.org

The only way we’ll get the change needed to stop climate change is if we threaten that entire system on a global scale never seen before. — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy is not in danger because it has never existed here. Today MILLIONS of people that can’t vote because mass incarceration and millions who can vote but have no representation because they don’t live in a state. — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy is not in danger because it has never existed here. There right now, today MILLIONS of people that can’t vote because mass incarceration and millions who can vote but have no representation because they don’t live in a state. — PolitiTweet.org

But once it’s not threatened they start to take back that power through ridiculously undertaxed capital gains, voter suppression, income stagnation, predatory lending and turning the 99% against each other to divide any threat to the system. — PolitiTweet.org

The system only ever helps people when the that wealth is threatened (typically by war) so they need us to buy into the system more- they do so by giving us a tiny amount more of say, money and resources. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

It was never about helping people, it was about making a few men richer and using the 99% as Canon fodder to protect their wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Look up what we did in Guatemala in 1954 just because the interests of the United Fruit Company were threatened- the CIA backed a coup there ousting a democratically elected leader to prop up a right wing dictator. — PolitiTweet.org

Creating international conflicts to fuel arms sales, displacing millions of people, then using the resulting xenophobia to sell arms domestically, profits surge Repeat the process on the next country typically somewhere in the global south Military industrial complex 🤝 NRA — PolitiTweet.org

This doesn’t mean we don’t have a military or funding for it every country needs a way to defend itself. It’s just to say when we spend more than the next 11 countries combined on our military I think we could scale back that spending and be more than fine. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

If we ever want to change it we’ll have to find a way to shift that funding to keep those jobs but gear it toward things like, cyber defense/offense, green energy, climate / renewables research, healthcare, building affordable housing, building high speed rail and more. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the biggest mistakes we made post WWII was not massively scaling back the military industrial complex. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

As a result there is basically nothing we can do to change that until we decrease military spending that will cost jobs in every congressional district- which is why it’s practically impossible to cut spending. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Democrats, Republicans and nearly all elected officials of every party are puppets of the military industrial complex. There are jobs in every congressional district that depend on the war machine. — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t increase the military budget one cent until we get universal healthcare, free college, eradicate homelessness, massively reduce poverty and address climate change. We just have to prioritize feeding the American people instead of war. #WarIsTheft — PolitiTweet.org

I really do not deserve the amount of credit that I get- as it's the people you don't know who make literally anything we do possible. But also they are people you can't necessarily know the names of due to the death threats we get and the danger this work can put them in. — PolitiTweet.org
