It’s not nice to send your children to be slaughtered in some distant land to defend your avaricious dreams of empire, then wrap them in the flag and commemorate their loss with great displays of ersatz sentiment and buckets of crocodile tears. And almost immediately after send a new batch of cannon fodder to fight your next imbecile imperialist gamble!
There.
Something new:
Not a fan of Kipling by any stretch of the imagination but in this case he got it so right:
If any question why we died,
Tell them, because our fathers lied.
Something old:
Malditas sean las guerras y los canallas que las apoyan.
Julio Anguita

Kipling was deeply changed, devastated and bitter after his son dissapeared. His son was one of those many made to advance utterly pointlessly into machine gun fire at Loos.

That anti-establishment anger rarely finds itself commemorated now.

Unfortunately what survives and lingers (ad nauseam, alas...) is the racist,empire-lover, jingoistic "white-man-burden"ista. Some mistakes are hard to outlive. He should have thought twice before opening his big patrician gob.
Nice to have you back.

It's pretty curious to me that the most warlike leaders are the ones who demand non-violent protests against their schemes. As in any one-side, dysfunctional relationship, they demand a particular response, but never respect those who they demand it from.

Really fine work here, dolores. It's hard to go wrong with red and black. Vaguely related: are you a fan of Mendez by any chance? (link)

Re. "leaders". Bullies one and all, that's what they are. I'd like to see bullying classified as a mental illness, as it is that, instead of say, mere sadness (now re-classified as clinical depression and ergo warranting antidepressants :-) )
Re Red & Black. Agreed. I get through periods when, lefty to myself, I'd do nothing else but R&B doodles.
Re. Mendez. Much to my shame, never even heard of him. I do now, though. Duly noted and 2b explored.
And that's two I kind I feel I owe you. The other one was the Japanese "stacked" royal dolls. Checked them and one thing led to another and ended in the divine Kokeshi dolls. Working on one right now. It'll be for you. There. :-)
Have a grand weekend.

I only heard of him about three years ago myself, despite my art-fart background. I think I was reading a glossy mag in a Midwestern U.S. airport, of all things and there he was.

Serendipity, or synchronicity, or mere plain fluke are all wonderful things. ;-)
