All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatre

Summary

This quote suggests that those who are not directly involved in fighting or experiencing the consequences of war are often the ones perpetuating war propaganda, spreading misinformation, fear, and fostering hate. It highlights the irony that the ones who don't personally face the horrors of war are the most vocal in promoting its continuation. The statement criticizes the disconnect between those who actively engage in war and those who endorse it from a safe distance, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the real impacts and costs of conflict.

Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws--but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted--when we tolerate what we know to be wrong--when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened--when we fail to speak up and speak out--we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.
