Been thinking about how awful I\u2019d be as a Senator. Just constantly saying stuff like \n\u201cNo, of course I don\u2019t think that the American military is profoundly \nevil. I would never disrespect the troops like that. I merely believe \nthat the \nAmerican military is profoundly evil\n\non the margin\u201d\n\nuntil my constituents threw me in a volcano
this is why Gabriele d'Annunzio means so much to me, reading about how he drove Italians to WWI with a speech tour parodying the Sermon on the Mount where he told people that counter to patriotic myths they were likely to die in pointless maneuvers and be instantly forgotten but as peasants this was a better use of their lives anyway
