Wanderthread Redux (Part 2)

Good Taber thread:

The Clintonites were Reagan Democrats, the current mob are Bush Dems, the next lot will be Trumpist.

I’ll never watch "Oklahoma’ in the same way ever again.

And the USA really isn’t “new” at all.

btw, I think I’m being radicalized.

Men are going to have to face up to their responsibility for patriarchy; white women need to deal with their support for white supremacy; etc.

And Black Americans, at some point, are going to have to explain to the Global South why so many of them collaborated with the empire.

From the perspective of an Afghan or Vietnamese villager, the Black GI is not the oppressed one. Ditto for the Native Americans and Mexicans who faced the Buffalo Soldiers.

This:

…generally frames the situation as Iranian aggression.

But note the timeline:

  1. Azerbaijan invades and occupies Karabakh.

  2. Azerbaijan and Turkey stage military exercises on the Iranian border.

  3. Azerbaijan begins harassing Iranian truck drivers.

  4. Iran responds by staging its own military exercise.

Incidentally, Joe Kassabian is planning to move to Armenia.

Pretending that this is acceptable or reformable is not naivety; it is collaboration.
