It’s so crazy that the country with more than 700 military bases around the world calls other countries “authoritarian”, like how can they pull off that with a straight face.
It’s one of those things that’s so clear as a Marxist but as a lib it seems natural and I never used to question it. I didn’t know exactly how many wars the US was involved in until a few years ago. I knew Iraq, Afghanistan. But I never heard any mentions of US troops in Suriya, Libya Yemen and Somalia! Like that’s a lot of fucking places to be involved in militarily without even caring about PR. I mean Iraq and Afghanistan were always talked about, Suriya was kinda talked about for the 1st 2 months then it tapered off. Somalia, literally never.
It drives me absolutely insane how effective US propaganda still is despite everything. Like, did everyone collectively forget the war that we were just in and why it started? We’ve literally invaded a country for reasons that we admit were fabricated… IN LIVING MEMORY!!
It seems like the state has infinite credibility and it makes me want to bash my head in.

Nationalism. Libs often got mad at trump, because he would say the quiet part out loud. They are him, they just didn’t like seeing a mirror.
