The Entanglement of Militarism and Humanitarianism Broadens the Geographies of Violence
Humanitarian crises and violent conflicts take place in an interlinked, multidimensional context. Killian McCormack and Emily Gilbert challenge the idea that humanitarianism is a neutral endeavor and instead aim to reveal the “violent geographies produced through militarized humanitarianism.”
![militarized police](https://worldbeyondwar.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Militarized-Police-300x247.jpeg)
Police Are a Lie
The parallels between the police-prosecution-prison system and the war system are extensive. I don’t mean the direct connections, the flow of weapons, the flow of veterans. I mean the similarities: the intentional failure to use superior alternatives, the ideology of violence used to justify horrible ideas, and the expense and corruption.

Why Can’t Anti-Imperial Wars Be Justified?
Let’s say that we are participants in a popular democratic socialist human-rights-loving movement and successful and fairly-elected national government, and we’re invaded and overthrown by a rightwing military, foreign or domestic, with horrific violence. What should we do?

Canada’s War Problem
The F-35 is not a tool of peace or even of military defense. It is a stealth, offensive, nuclear-weapons-capable airplane designed for surprise attacks with the potential to intentionally or accidentally launch or escalate wars, including nuclear war. It is for attacking cities, not just other airplanes.
