“Just one more front I swear we’re gonna win on this one.” Or as I call it, the Israeli strategy
You have any idea how difficult it is to explain to libs how this isn’t normal?
my biggest hurdle is they never seem to know or care. they are completely checked out about imperial processes and contented to accept that when a GOP president does something overseas, it’s probably bad, but when a dem president does something, there’s probably a good reason for it. and that’s the entire critical lens: a bifocal that lets them ignore the rest of the planet.
frankly, the surest sign ive found for uncovering a fellow leftist is, in discussion, realizing they pay detailed attention to and have a memory of what the US and its vassals & clients do overseas in its name.
because what the US does overseas is intimately connected to domestic processes and the patterns make material analysis much more obvious than the vibes-based bullshit libs soothe themselves with.
Obama voice: “We air striked some folks.”
When Obama made that mistake - it must have taken me at least five minutes to figure out why. We all misspeak. But I knew this case wasn’t a garden variety slip of the tongue. There was a reason. Finally - I realized the obvious. “Folks” is a very non-Obama word. Once he started running for president - he must’ve practiced using it naturally so he’d never seem stiff and Spock-like to folks when he used it. But when torture came up - like an ESL student trying to avoid making a mistake with an uncomfortable slang - he made one.
maybe it’s a sign that he think of the electorate and the people who got tortured as the same thing. you know. folks. morons. not the sort of people who get to take smiling photos with george bush and his wife.
I guess “we tortured some hew-mons”

Death to America
Airstrike addicts: “bro I’m not addicted to airstrikes bro I just need to do them every single day”
“I can quit bombing civilians any time I want bro!”
“Bro just one more bombing raid and we’ll be the undisputed global hegemon again bro, the end of history is a single destroyed hospital away bro”
“Bro it’s almost like you don’t wanna be part of the greatest nation on earth. Do you even war crime bro?”
