Anti-War Voices Are Being Shut Down
By Davis Trax
There is so much tension in our countries relations with Russia and with what is going on with Ukraine. It seems like all we see is news about the possibility of war and that Biden is warning us about what we will do if Russia invades Ukraine. It seems like most of the country is in favor of going to war, and while that may be true, what definitely is not true is that all of the country wants to go to war.
Personally, I don't want to go to war. I don't like war in general and I don't want there to be a draft because I would definitely get drafted and I don't want to fight in a war. Platforms like CNN serve a general public that would want to see this war happen, but there are many antiwar publications that are being thrown out of the light. Websites like ANTIWAR and American Conservative are fully against the war happening, but these voices are shut out because the government wants us to believe everybody is in favor of this war and that because these websites and news sources aren't as popular as CNN or Fox that they aren't credible. It might be the case that there are more people that want to see this war commence, but that doesn't mean that there aren't people who are against it and those people need to be heard. I wish more antiwar voices who are staying quiet speak up for the rest of us and explain that this war is possible but not necessary. There is always a more peaceful route in settling even the most diplomatic of arguments. We all have a say in what happens for this country, right? Aren't we a democracy? Let's protect this country even further.
