People like Peter Thiel of Palantir make $Bs off taxpayer-funded contracts, selling tech tested on Palestinians to US gov't to collect data on American citizens.

People of Europe are making it clear to European & American elites: they'll no longer be deceived into supporting US-led proxy wars.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."
