saw pictures of them tying a mother and daughter in a rope, pouring kerosene on them, burning them,
I guess the Israelis were too busy posting pics of their soldiers sniffing underwear they looted from the homes they destroyed in Gaza to remember posting these images, eh GJ?
Bookmarking this for the next time white supremacists here in good ole’ South Africa peddles the “privatisation is the only thing that will fix our electricity problems!” bullcrap.
Absolutely not. If you look hard at the colonialist shitfuckery the US perpetrated during the (so-called) “Cold War”, “socialism” was only the enemy as far as the propaganda and pretexts were concerned - in reality, the insurgencies the US tried to repress and the governments the US undermined were all nationalist in nature.
The US isn’t threatened by socialism because the US defeated any internal socialist threat with Roosevelt’s New Deal - whether they will do that again is anyone’s guess.
Not really… the white middle class in the US is coming down from their cozy New Deal high and realizing all the “soft power” was literally just empty propaganda. There is a good reason why the US has inspired some of the most evil events of the modern era - Putin cannot hold a candle to that.
A lot of the stuff in modern The Art Of War publications was added later - basically glorified notes - by scholars who assume it illustrates some point made by Sun Tzu. They don’t always hit their mark, though.
I thought it was common knowledge that “retainer” was literally the job description of all samurai… but I guess I should have known that the Weaboo Gamergate Brigade would conveniently ignore actual history.
I guess you’re not well-acqainted with US history? You know… the parts that inspired the Nazis and the Apartheid-regime?
I don’t think you know how bad it can get… or how bad it already is for the people the US designates as “other.” And pretending that this can all be blamed on a cartoon fascist is peak white liberalism.
So you are aware as to how the phenomenon we refer to as fascism today has always been a fundamental aspect built right into the very foundations of the US and every other classical liberal nation state?
If you’re not, you need to go back to reading.
the MOVE bombing, the Waco siege, and so on happened decades ago.
And what has actually changed since then? Has the function fascism renders to the liberal nation state magically disappeared, perhaps?
and not in institutionalization.
Really? What kind of armaments do the most visible form of institutionalized fascism (ie, the police) carry around these days?
but it’s completely insane to think that we’re living under fascism.
You’ve been living with it all your life. You just don’t recognize it because the liberals don’t take the leash off their pet fascists around you.
Have you read a single interview with someone who actually survived fascism?
Lots of people survive fascism - like everybody in my country that was born before 1990. Your conception of fascism is downright cartoonish - that’s why you are so incapable of realizing that you are already living with it all around you.
I can’t answer posts that Lemmy physically won’t allow me to answer, genius.
(and speaking as if you understand) the nuance of the US while you’re all the way in South Africa
Yes… and? Is this the first time you’ve encountered people outside the US that understands US politics better than the majority of people inside the US?
Guess what… there’s nothing strange about that.
You have nothing to say and you’re universally disliked.
Come now, liberal - I’m “universally disliked” because I have “nothing to say”? I expect that is going to make about as much sense as anything else I’m going to get out of you.
I grew up in a fascist state, liberal. I know fascism in the bone. And here’s the funny thing - so do you. The difference is that I don’t tell myself canned narratives about it when it’s staring me in the face.
That’s what liberals do - and you sure hate it when anyone points all of it out to you.
But hey, who knows… maybe you will get to “vote harder” and, by some miracle, Biden gets a win come November. And then you’ll be performing the exact same histrionics in four years’ time and not understanding why.
It always amuses me when these pseudo-Christians have to reach back to the Old Testament to justify their fascist foaming - it’s almost as if the parts that are actually based on Christ contains nothing of value to them.
