The arms trade is worth trillions. Peace movements run on donations. What does that say? #PeaceBuilding #EndWar
I’m no expert, but I believe we already live in a world of plenty. What we lack is the will to share it fairly. Do you agree? What would a real peace economy look like to you? #PeaceBuilding #GlobalUnity #EndWar
Borders and markets treat resources as investments (or weapons!) instead of essentials to be shared. Water, wheat, oil—they’re all leveraged to dominate rather than to provide. And that, more than ideology, keeps wars burning. #StopTheWarEconomy #PeaceEconomy
Imagine if instead of arguing who “owns” the tap, we asked who is stopping us from sharing the flow. It isn’t ordinary people—it’s elite power structures that profit from scarcity and division. In a world of plenty, we only run out when those in power tell us to. #SystemChange #TogetherForPeace
But it’s nobody's fault where they were born. If we managed resources together instead of hoarding, there would be enough for all. It's not the resources, its the management.
The flaw in this model? It assumes scarcity; perpetuated by capitalism’s narrative of endless competition—pitting the “haves” against the “have-nots.” Dividing and Conquering. #ScarcityMyth #Justice
It’s an old story: empires have always fought to grab land, oil, grain, minerals—whatever they could take. The justification changes, but the logic stays the same: control resources, control power. #HistoryRepeats #GlobalUnity
I’m no expert… But I can’t help noticing that most wars, #Ukraine included, trace back to the same thing: one nation wanting the resources of another, but unwilling to follow established global rules of trade. #PeaceBuilding #EndWar
I wonder what conveniently distracting disaster they have scheduled for exactly the same time as this press conference…
Every missile built is a school unfunded. Every tank bought is a hospital denied. #PeaceBuilding #EndWar
It’s almost like he has no idea about why profit-first corporations prefer secrecy, patents and obfuscation to maintain their market share. No wonder his businesses fail.
Why is #Peace a niche topic? I say because of our addiction to PROFIT. What’s your thoughts?

Once the government is incompetent, the private corporations get to take over and save us. #privatization

It’s so cute that people still believe American MSM has any interest in tough questions. #StockholmSyndrome
Let’s treat bullets the same way the US Gov treats insulin- push the price so high that the folks who need them can’t afford them.
23 global youth leaders gathered at The Hague Youth Peace Summit to map peace and justice solutions—next-gen changemakers.

Children holding assault rifles always bothers me, but now that ZERO of these numpties are standing up for America’s freedom (as they always threatened to), I have even less respect for families like this. Posers, all of them.
People laugh, because war makes no sense. As one essay puts it: absurd moments give us new perspective on human resilience.
Read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (please!!!). It EXPOSES how the US take over countries - first is social/political, next it’s economic “pound of flesh”, and if that fails, the military move in. 40 years of this has finally come home to roost.
“Turn away from the negativity and create some positivity.” I like that. (Did I just make it up, or is it out in the Public Consciousness?)
A group of youth in Derry challenged elders: 'Don’t push our voices aside.' Young peacebuilders are leading the conversation. buff.ly/te9kXY4
#TimelineCleanse “Contrary to the belief that it might take huge strides to be a true peace-builder, Dawson asserted that all it takes is the courage to simply take one first step to make the world more just.” What’s you first, simple step? Turn away from the negativity and create some positivity
“Socialism will save us all but capitalism will only save ME.”
‘This is not your grandfather’s peace movement.’ Diverse youth at Peace First NYC Summit proudly declared peace is now radical.
Playwright Henry Naylor says: ‘War correspondents are the funniest people I know.’ Even in chaos, humans find humor.
As always, Trump’s gambling on a short-term fix to his crashing economy, but he’s playing with fire! Europe, BRICS, Canada, and more could unpeg from US$ and suddenly all America’s debt will come home to roost. Bye bye America, if that happens.
Billionaires, Media, lawyers - in that order.
Is all of this the dark before the dawn? 🙏 🤜🆙
Good help Americans if he dies before he’s out. Regardless of cause, he’ll be branded a martyr and his death will be blamed on Biden and the lunatic Left! JD would use it to take over America. Thank you for your attention on this matter
In a viral New Yorker exhibit, images of the Iraq War showed how conflict's absurdity distorts everything it touches.
5 Things Every Business Leader Should Do To Shield Themselves From A Cyberattack Authority Magazine interview: Dr. James Norrie discusses top 5 things every Business Leader should do to shield themselves from a cyberattack
This post is 30 years too late.
This is why the world can’t have nice things. Hoarding wealth should be considered a mental health issue.
Really??? American “Mainstream media” is owned by the same oligarchs and corporations who are making money hand over fist thanks to Trump!! They have NEVER spoken truth- they are propaganda systems for capitalism. You’re surprised?? Then you haven’t been paying attention for the past 30 years! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Agreed. It’s so frustrating how quickly people forget that 99% of America media is owned by the billionaires and corporations who are making money hand over fist thanks to Trump’s policies… as if they are going to lift a finger to help or inform the masses. Laughable.
Exactly. Great comment. Every time we try push a peace agenda, we get railroaded by “influencers” and glossy headlines. Peace shouldn’t be a niche!!
Maybe it’s time to start believing women.
Ahem. ANY country who build their economy around military warfare are an obstacle to peace. America, Russia, Israel, North Korea all come to mind.
One nuclear bomb in 1945 killed 140,000 in Hiroshima by year’s end. Decades later, survivors still suffer cancers. War’s absurdity is generational.
One of Americas (many profit-above-all) bad turns was allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to the public. It’s one of the driving forces of not trusting science or doctors. “Trust the Media, man”. Sad.
If everyone on the planet simply sat down quietly for 1 hour, we’d have all experienced World Peace. We’d also have scared the crap out of the corporations who think they control us.
Since WWII, an estimated 70–85 million people were killed—about 3% of the world’s population at the time. The absurdity is that we still keep choosing war.
If peace is a group project, remember: everyone has to do their part—or the grade (and planet) suffers.
💯⬇️
Me too. Men like these are an embarrassment to our gender, and, like Trump, deserve to be laughed at, pointed at and mocked out of their comfort zones.
UN Peacekeeping: Ngok & Twic Dinka youth leaders reaffirm commitment to peace — building bridges through dialogue and joint action. buff.ly/Pzey60c
World War I ended in 1918. By 1939, the world was at it again. Absurd doesn’t begin to describe our memory for mass death.
The post‑9/11 wars caused 4.5–4.7 million deaths (direct & indirect). Most were civilians. How absurd that ‘security’ became slaughter.
While I don’t disagree with the move, it further proves that the only people who benefit from Trump more than the Media are the Lawyers.
Im no expert but, in Putin’s Russia, Oligarchs get away with anything and own everything. Oligarchs in American believe they should too. THIS is the Putin-Trump collusion. It’s all about WEALTH and POWER. America is being destroyed to give Billionaires more power and FREEDOM! Crony Capitalism!!
Yup. 🤜🆙
UNICEF USA: Youth advocates worldwide step up with real projects for change — from peer education to digital tools for safety. buff.ly/vVjONvL
If arguing online could end wars, we’d have world peace by Tuesday.
Imagine if we fought peace like we fight over parking spots—we’d already have it everywhere.
Peace talks are cheaper than war talks. Plus, the snacks are better.
Elizabeth Warren: "The one thing I want to remind everyone is when Democrats get in power again -- and we will -- we've got to change the rules. We've got to change the rules on the impact of money in politics and we've got to pass the voting rights act again and make sure there is true protection."
The stew has been stirred, the scum is surfacing and can now be plucked out. The next recipe will be better than the last, provided we learn from our mistakes (this time).
TAX THE BILLIONAIRES They can afford it. We the little people keep the economy going NOT THESE BILLIONAIRE PLAY BOYS! If it wasn’t for us they would be flat broke!
PUNCH UP!
It's stories like that tham make me fear America will never grow up and focus on its priorities. Corporate media has enough control over American minds to make Joseph Goebbels blush. It's one thing to remind Corporations that hey need us more than we need them, but this is ridiculous.
"War is hugely profitable - I don't understand how these Peace Talks work." #Peace #Profit
If wars were really about peace, then divorce lawyers would also be marriage counsellors.
Comment ‘peace matters’ on a creator’s post. Tiny nudges build bigger habits.
If we can make memes go viral, why not peace? At least peace doesn’t require a Wi-Fi password.
Talking about peace won’t make you a hippie. Talking about war just makes you a bad dinner guest.
World peace meetings should serve snacks. Nobody argues while eating nachos.
It never ceases to amaze me how, in this modern day and age, how Christianity continues to create BIGOTs who don't realize how far removed they are from Jesus' teachings, yet so quick to tell me I need MORE Jesus in my life. Astounding. #religion #jesus #hypocrisy #uspoli
You aren't even tolerant of other people's opinions or faiths and now you're admitting you're homophobic as well. FYI you are doing NOTHING to sell me (or others) on the benefits of organized religion. I'm fairly sure if we both met Jesus, he'd like me more. You're a bigot. Isn't that a sin?
'zactly.
Talking peace online isn’t naive—it’s necessary. Silence leaves the narrative to others.
America's solution to low military recruitment: America piles debt on to its _students_ just so they could offer to take it away in exchange for them putting their lives on the line for a corrupt regime. Got it. I think this is a form of Blood Money, isn't it??
😅😂😅😂😅😂😅. That's funny.
And there we have it, folks. Once again, it takes no time to prove that you have no use for unity or tolerance. Folks who lead with religion are far too quick to judge others. But I understand if you refuse to accept that.
Solutions are everywhere. We just need to invest in them.
Meh. Christians loving what Trump is doing is everything wrong with (your type of) Christians. Jesus would be angry at both of you.
And that, my friend, is why you and your movement will fail. The rest of us have evolved past the hypocrisy of 'one religion is right and all the others are wrong'. Why would others respect you or your believes if you don't respect them or theirs??
🤦♂️
We certainly do. I believe government should put EVERYONE first. Religion puts non-believers second. See the problem? Democracy & religion are antithesis of each other. Christianity more so than any other religion!
The gospels say Jesus HATED organize religion, and religious leaders, from what I have read. He certainly didn’t want religion in government. He was modest, and NEVER told people what to believe. It was their CHOICE. Keep it to yourself.
Good god (pardon the pun). A) you and i DO NOT have Jesus in common B) you and I know VERY different history of Christianity if you think it’s reputable. Christianity has started more wars and killed more people than ANY other religion. I’ll stick to Buddhism, thank you, where tolerance is REAL!
Actually, it’s the INTOLERANCE for people who mock religion that are the problem. No one should tell anyone else what to believe, and no one should be judged for what they believe. Therefore, religion MUST be a personal choice, and NOT part of Gov. Gov is there for everyone. Religion isn’t!
Religion and government should NEVER be united!! They MUST both operate independently. Government MUST be based on freedom of thought and tolerance of others. Religion is the opposite of that! A religious government would be divisive by nature because religious people can’t help but judge others.
