Journalists should be exposing inconvenient truths about powerful people in their own nation and its allies. Instead the people we call \u201cjournalists\u201d criticize enemy nations, smear political dissidents, demand increasing amounts of censorship, and advance narratives that are convenient for the powerful.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

The \u201cwar on terror\u201d is a false pretext for interventionism in the Middle East and the \u201cwar on drugs\u201d is a false pretext for interventionism in Latin America.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

Lula being free and\u00a0eligible to run again<\/a>\u00a0in Brazil is a very big deal with huge implications for US imperialism. This isn\u2019t like some fake leftist getting into the Democratic Party or whatever, this is a real thing that will have real consequences in a nation with huge geostrategic significance to the US empire. The empire invested many years\u00a0staging a coup<\/a>\u00a0in one of the largest nations on earth, and it\u2019s not just going to let it be reversed without a fuss. I\u2019m bit nervous about what will happen.<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

The Monroe Doctrine is literally just the US saying \u201cLatin America is our Africa. You guys get those brown people over there, these are our brown people over here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2756<\/p>\n

I love how pundits talk about the Monroe Doctrine like it\u2019s a real thing that has actual legitimacy. \u201cWell we can\u2019t have Russia and China interfering in Venezuela, that\u2019s just the Monroe Doctrine.\u201d No, how about you fuck all the way off from any country not named the United States of America.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We could be collaborating with each other and with our ecosystem to create a beautiful, awesome, healthy world. Instead we\u2019re all competing with each other working meaningless jobs creating pieces of landfill which serve no purpose besides turning millionaires into billionaires.<\/p>\n
