Johnstone heeft in een kort en bondig artikel uitgelegd, dat 'the
lesser of two evils' (de minste van twee kwaden) een niet
bestaand concept is als het gaat om de presidentsverkiezingen van a.s. november in de VS, immers of een land nu wordt aangevallen door
een Republikeinse of Democratische administratie, maakt geen verschil
in de ellende waarin het 'slachtoffervolk' terechtkomt, ook al zeggen die administraties dat ze e.e.a doen voor het eigen bestwil van dat volk en 'het brengen van democratie' (en daarbij wordt maar al te vaak een land aangevallen dat een democratische gekozen regering heeft en waarbij die regering werd verkozen in verkiezingen die werden gecontroleerd door internationale waarnemers en door hen werden goedgekeurd...).....
Ook de schending van
mensenrechten wordt vaak als argument aangevoerd om een land aan te vallen, terwijl de VS de grootste schenders van mensenrechten steunt, zoals Saoedi-Arabië en Israël..... In alle gevallen blijven VS bommen en raketten dood en
verderf zaaien......
Overigens bleek tijdens de Democratische Conventie van vorige week dat Biden een veel agressievere buitenlandpolitiek voorstaat dan de Trump administratie heeft laten zien, doelen o.a. het Midden-Oosten, Rusland en China (en reken maar dat Biden onder het Midden-Oosten ook Iran rekent......) Kortom het feit dat de VS in feite het Vierde Rijks is en daarmee de grootste terreurentiteit op aarde, zal niet veranderen met oorlogsmisdadiger Biden...... In een later bericht zal ik wat verder ingaan op die Democratische conventie.
Lees
dit korte schrijven van Johnstone, waarin ze ook nog even ingaat op
religies die in feite zijn bedacht om mensen koest te houden en
netjes in het gareel te laten lopen, ook al is dat gareel in het grootste deel van de gevallen dood en
vernietiging brengen, zo heeft de geschiedenis iets te vaak laten zien...... Vergeet bijvoorbeeld niet dat de genocide op de 'indianen' in de VS werd uitgevoerd met de bijbel in de hand!! (hetzelfde geldt voor de genocide in Latijns Amerika, als was de bijbel daar die van de rk kerk.....)

I
really don't mean to be a pest about this but we are still trapped on
a planet where people without functioning empathy centers are waving
literal armageddon weapons around in the name of a made-up concept
called unipolarism. We should probably put a stop to that.
~
If
you see two separate mainstream political parties, it looks like one
is the lesser evil. If you see two oligarchic sock puppets held by
the same oligarchy, it looks like they're both being used to bully
you into consenting to an entire system which isn't designed to serve
you.
If
you see the latter, what is the correct response? What is the correct
response to someone saying you must beg them to punch you with their
left hand or they'll punch you a bit harder with their right? Is it
to beg for the left fist? Or is it to knock your abuser the fuck out?
When
the oligarchy tells you "Vote for my left party or my right
party will take away your civil rights", the correct response is
not bowing to its demands, nor voting right-wing out of spite, nor
even merely voting third party. The only correct response is to tear
down the oligarchy.

Democrats:
Here's a half-dead piece of beltway flotsam held together by nothing
but Aricept and crazy glue who's been pushing for wars, austerity and
the erosion of civil liberties since before most of you were born.
Progressives:
I bet we can move him to the left.

Q:
What is the Republican Party?
A:
An organization which assures Americans of conservative sensibilities
that the status quo is working fine.
Q:
What is the Democratic Party?
A:
An organization which assures Americans of liberal sensibilities that
the status quo is working fine.
~
Establishment
liberalism is just a bunch of people reassuring each other that you
can change absolutely nothing and still feel self-righteous about it.
~
We're
hurtling toward multiple armageddon-level events on multiple fronts
in the near term and people are still like "We can vote
strategically and begin organizing a gradual progressive takeover in
the Democratic Party beginning at the local level so that after 30-40
years..."
~
US
presidents who say the troops are coming home soon should be taken as
seriously as people who say Jesus is coming back any minute now.
~
Those
who say Russia can influence an election with a few tweets and
Facebook memes are implicitly admitting that the media-owning
plutocratic class necessarily has many orders of magnitude more
control over their political system.
~
When
you have monopolistic tech giants openly coordinating with their
government and censoring
countries
their government doesn't like on behalf of their government, what you
have is called government censorship.
~
QAnoners
sometimes say to me "Why are you attacking us?? We're on the
same side!" No we're not. We're on exact opposite sides. I
oppose the ruling power establishment, you support it. You've been
duped into backing one of the US establishment parties like any other
partisan hack.
~
Write
about the world's problems in a way that ordinary people can
understand and you'll open a lot of eyes, but you won't get kudos
from elitist commentators. Write in a way that only elitist
commentators can understand and you'll receive plenty of kudos, but
you won't open any eyes.
~
Imperialists
who defend US warmongering with "But World War Two!" are
actually admitting that their worldview is garbage by the fact that
they have to reach back 75 years to find a US war they can actually
justify in their minds.
~
To
understand the world it's not enough to be intelligent, you've also
got to be dedicated to learning what's true. Most aren't; they're
dedicated to defending their own interests and worldviews. Smart
people will often just use clever arguments to defend their false
worldview.
~
The
way bombing creates extremism which is used to justify more bombing
is one of the most psychopathically brilliant scams ever devised.
~
Since
the dawn of history the true purpose of religion has been to shape
societies, dominate civilizations and build entire empires, whether
that religion is called "Christianity", "Islam",
or "economics".
