If you didn’t know any better, you’d think we were actively in a shooting war with Russia instead of just sending billions of dollars to the opposition. What a fantastic distraction tactic from the tidal waves of domestic problems we’re facing here.
It’s been pretty impressive to witness. I clearly remember the insanity leading up to Iraq War 2, but at least then the US was an active combatant.
There are books to be written about this era. It likely comes down to 1) the US insistence on the “rules-based order” which is essentially a one-world government with DC as the imperial center, and 2) late-stage capitalism shoring itself up with a descent into overt fascism.
It’s especially interesting to see people who consider themselves to be anti-fascists support Ukraine, which is being run by fascists, and then get mad when you tell them this. It’s like reality is being overwritten before our eyes. We’re even seeing people downplay the formerly understood concept of MAD because they want America to attack Russia so badly.
Meanwhile inflation is at an all time high, the climate’s getting worse, and Joe Biden is one of the least popular presidents in US history. And when it isn’t Russia, we’re still talking about Jan 6th, which I’m starting to think was indeed an inside job on some level because it keeps coming up despite nothing actually being done.
It’s insane, isn’t it? I know we like to shit on Orwell, but this kind of thinking that can get flipped as if from a switch is literally examined in 1984. These rabid libs who thought they were anti-fascist but who were really just anti-Trump spent all their time frantically searching for hidden Nazi symbols in everything from “OK” gestures to the shape of the stage at the Republican convention (or CPAC or whatever it was) to the “3” gesture made by the Jeopardy winner… and now you show them LITERAL NAZIS with full regalia and Hitler salutes and youth camps and midnight marches with fascist slogans and they see nothing.
Adam Curtis is going to have to make a documentary about this.
Adam Schiff, may he go with Bandera, has been a major force behind Russiagate, arming Ukraine, and the 6 Jan hysteria. I’m sure it’s a coincidence and that he is acting in good faith.
