A side view of "participating in the running of the world"

"The world is united, good, it's good for me to sell arms."

When slogans such as morality, ideology, national interests, and democracy are shouting loudly, people are busy killing each other. Instead of participating in meaningless arguments, or killing others, or being killed by others, arms dealers use one Participating in this "cruel" world from a bystander perspective, paying with one hand and delivering with one hand, makes both parties happy. It ignited my perspective on the world like thought rape, and it left my desk smashed in surprise.

After the disintegration of SL, "angry soldiers and mountains of ammunition" became a favorite scene for arms dealers. Officers were not well paid back then, as they are now. So I smuggled weapons from the treasury to make a little money. Who doesn't have a mother and a baby at home to support.

Interesting.

Interesting.

The huge plane loaded with arms landed in Africa, and the African people swarmed the arms and were very happy. In the end, the large plane returned to its original appearance as if it had been corroded and decomposed by nature. The process is full of poetry and poignant irony. Human existence, with all its morality and so-called meaning, is like a hilarious joke.

By the way, there is always the supreme truth, the barrel of a gun brings out power. "People who play ballots are not suitable here", it's just a game for adults to fool people.
