If you want to see some weapons grade (pun not intended but I will leave it) sane washing this interview on the "moderate" bulwark network had my jaw on the floor.
There is something creepy about the calm, smart and sane (sounding) people talking about US foreign policy as if it isn't outrageous.
This kind of inability to recognize a crisis, a violation of the social order, a crime is what has us in this mess.
It's every person who thought "well he won't run again no need to put him in prison that's so extreme and makes me feel bad"
Some of it really felt like "but you know, maybe the trains will run on time soon" to me.
@futurebird @thomasjwebb @aaron.rupar oh, it's even worse than that. Firstly, no small percentage are invested in supporting fascism. Because if they say the 'bad things' then that may have consequences, but if they say 'good things' then surely they will be rewarded.
And nearly 100% of them are complete fucking idiots who in fact, are completely detached from reality. They believe that 'oh, next election will fix everything.' And they are so super-intelligent, they are never wrong.
@rootwyrm @thomasjwebb @aaron.rupar
Yeah. I was listening to that segment doing the dishes and I started to feel so hopeless. Because, maybe, from their perspective which is NOT that of a migrant in a detention center, some guy in a tiny fishing boat, an engineer who just helped complete her first project, a school teacher at an all girls school, a young man in the army... all of us maybe, it does 'all work out.'
"markets stabilize" or whatever.
And THEY aren't dead forever.
