Exactly. All these people online with their heads suddenly exploding like the US empire hasn’t been fucking shit up for many many decades. Trump is just the latest and most ridiculous manifestation of what the USA is at its core.

Like, ICE are a violent collection of belligerent bros who need to be kicked in the teeth, but does anyone remember post-9/11 when Arabs were disappeared, or the countless inhumanities done to black people for the entire country’s history? Buffalo extinction….anyone???

Let’s stop acting like the country was a fucking role model until the second Trump came on the scene. It’s just a Trail of Crocodile Tears to me.

The country has always been a monster, and even worse, will likely always be a monster long after the orange turd has been flushed.

What an amazing suggestion

Incredible. The man was a fucking legend.

Absolutely, though even if there was more thorough media coverage I’m not sure I could keep up with it. A little while back I decided to focus more of my attention on Latam after deep diving the Mideast for years. Ask me about anything east of India and I’m even more clueless.

Fascinating. I hadn’t thought about Yunus in years and hadn’t been following Bangladesh at all.

Please add me to the Imperialiam Reading Group and ping me whenever in the future you plan to read another book. I just discovered this group today. I’m especially annoyed I missed this particular book, but I hope to read it on my own anyway.

Truth. Still, solidarity with Cuba. I hope to be there within the month.

That’s definitely a bonus for them

What what whaaaa??? I thought the US was a force for supreme goodness up until the millisecond that Trump became president.

This was most definitely the turning point. And just who were George Dubya, and Clinton, and Reagan, and Nixon, and goddamn Kissinger, and Robert McNamara, and the Dulles Brothers, and all the slave owners who founded the country?

A shining city upon a hill, manifest destiny, exceptionalism. Well-meaning promoters and protectors of democracy forever and always. Just what would the rest of the world do without you?

/s in case anyone actually needs it.

The world seems full of people who work as unpaid corporate lawyers. I’ve run into several of these types in person. I imagine that the Venn Diagram of these people and those who snitch on their colleagues is a circle.

I assumed your username was referring to this because I’ve sometimes seen it referred to as AANES. I guess it wasn’t.

Goddamn you’re making an excellent point here. Then I saw your username and it all made sense. Clearly you appreciate actions more than mere words. Good stuff.
