Almost the defining mindset of the Right is the desire (or perhaps practice) of being both the oppressor/attacker & wanting to play the victim at the very same time.

Currently: US & Israeli attacks on Iran prompt self-defensive counter attacks that are then treated as an 'escalation'.

Or in the UK, after years of bad-mouthing Europe & finally engineering Brexit, claims the EU is being 'unreasonable' when failing to agree to the UK's desired 'reset' on the UK's terms!

@ChrisMayLA6 When U.S. and U.K. activists warned the people that their governments had co-opted the science and tech of National Socialism, not enough listened. They are listening now. The shock wave of the criminal civilisation destroyer resulting from ‘wait and see’, is actually being felt. Too many are being blown up, shot to pieces, dying from disease, thirst and hunger. In or out of large scale endless chauvinist and racist wars is not a future that is sustainable, ethically or morally. The people also have to move beyond their sexism and ableism to rise up and take their power back. No alliance of Nations can end the absurdity of the few tax and benefit billionaires invested in the destroyers death cults! #TheAbsurdity #WW3 #WeakMen #CyberneticAssimilation #FascistTech
