Well, as someone living in the United States, I live with the saddening understanding that our military spending indicates that we're willing to immiserate large swaths of the world's population for increasingly diminishing returns.

It's authoritarian enough that I have no choice but to support our military decisions through the taxes I pay.

It's colonialism without the responsibility of administering large populations.

I don't know if there's a solution though, there are other sharks vying to do far worse.
