  • It never occurs to them to question who actually benefits from the western population chanting “IRAN BAD! REGIME MUST GO!” in unison like a bunch of animatronic theme park animals while the drums of war are beating louder and louder. It never occurs to them that someone can simply oppose the warmongering agendas of the US empire on principle, because those agendas are reliably disastrous and the US empire is the most tyrannical power structure on earth. These things never occur to them because most westerners spend their entire lives in a propaganda echo chamber which constantly feeds them stories about how evil the western empire’s enemies are, while telling them almost nothing about the empire’s own abuses.



  • All the more reason to outlaw and ruthlessly discourage any attempts to do it again, regardless of how innocuous an actor tries to sell it. The billionaires didn’t implement their policies in one fell blow, they are centuries patient and cunning. Like the serpent didn’t actually lie, it just failed to tell the entire truth, and/or didn’t grasp all the unforseen (latent) possibilities and their implications, leading the first self-aware astray. That’s not entirely bad, a long, winding path of learning painfully can yield invaluable lessons, the “badness” is in allowing whitewashing and revisionist history, which should have the head crushed under the heel, figuratively speaking.
