Normal

End result of absolute relativism

There's no good there's no bad, everything is equal to everything, etc, pure nihilism

...

One might say "but in the universe, what does good or bad means ? There's no good or bad when a planet collides with another, or when a star explodes"

Which is true

But what's lacking here is context

You're not a star or a planet, nor 1 million miles tall or a subatomic element or a god or a pure spirit, that's what those pompous fucks forgot in their train of "philosophical thoughts"

You're a human, with a personal history, on earth, at a given period of History, that's your place, that's the scale, the point of view, the context from which you have to see/judge things

Otherwise nothing makes sense, existence is pointless, skip to the end credits and kill yourself

"Gold Star"... What an insulting term to apply to people who's loved ones died either truly believing they were "defending 'Merica", or just taking advantage of the fact, if they live, the military does offer some amount of job security...

This imaginary "Gold Star" has got to be a "Star of David" right? Remind them they died fighting wars for Jewish bankers/money lenders, who are raking it in on interest on loans taken out by the Military Industrial Complex...........

Would be fucked up if the people ever woke up to the fact that the North American continent is about as geographically isolated as can be in regards to the rest of the world, and by just simply securing our points of entry and borders we could actually provide domestic security without sending our young people off to play Commando..... But no, we're real "bad-asses" invading, occupying, and dominating camel jockeying, dope-growing, goat herder land.......

It's not the star of David. It's a five pointed star and the term "Gold Star Mother" goes back to after WW1. During times of conflict, families of soldiers would hang "service flags" to show they had loved ones fighting. These flags had blue stars, one star for each service member of that family serving in that conflict. If the service member died in the conflict, then the blue star was changed to gold.
