US liberals going full “rootless cosmopolitan”:
On the one hand: good riddance to bad rubbish.
OTOH: this makes it pretty obvious that the US doesn’t actually give a fuck about the future welfare of the Afghans, no?
Although it isn’t getting anywhere near the same traction, it appears that the attempted freakout over the Jan 6 “coup” is the new Russiagate.
A massively overhyped issue, portrayed by the Dems as an existential threat to US “democracy”, all while studiously ignoring the absurd hypocrisy of their arguments in a global and historical context, all while not actually intending to do anything useful in response.
Smokescreen.
Fascists have a more realistic understanding of US politics and history than liberals do:
…although it’s still wrong.
Yes, actually committing to the values Dr King espoused is totally incompatible with the working-as-designed white supremacist status quo USA.
However, co-opting a whitewashed version of a mythological Dr King, and using that co-option to pretend that a brutally white supremacist plutocracy is actually a progressive democracy…that is perfectly compatible with the real-world USA. And that’s what was done.
Reminder that “community policing” is a euphemism for counterinsurgency.
…and that’s before we even get to the discussion of “to what extent are the conditions in Venezuela the consequences of historical context and foreign attack?”.
