Honest blunt respectful feedback: the problem in this is that "our way of life" is a bit of a shit show in the sense that there are SO many people living a pretty dreadful life in America. So, if you are saying you want to protect a great lifestyle for the top 1% (IDK what's the right threshold) then, it feels off

100%. And luckily we have already noticed how access to information makes most people much more reluctant to fight someone else's fight / war. Nelson Mandela said one thing that always stuck with me: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." I think that's the key.
