Friday essay: Are wars and violence inevitable, or is there another way to live?
Militaries want films like Top Gun because they make the armed forces seem glamorous, exciting, social and sexy.

As Time hailed the power of the protester, the rate at which mass protests succeeded in meeting their objectives was plummeting, from two in three during the early 2000s to just one in six by the early 2020s.
