I get this is the silliest thing to be concerned about right now with everything going on, but it does feel like the hawks scored a point here in the market place of ideas. Trying to add any context to the shitty situation in Eastern Europe is gonna come off as Putin apologia. I feel like it used to be a bit easier to pill Libs on being anti-war by putting to the USs fuck. But now that a country the hawks hated did a thing they predicted he’d do, well…
Those who are really good at identifying fascism on the other side, while being completely blind to their own. Can't help but think it's projection.
What’s super weird is most of them would and do call the US fascist or fascist adjacent, but then they’ll believe every line out of the US state department. It’s baffling.
It's one thing to buy into the state department, it's another to actively get angry at and attack/ban anyone pointing out that the state department is a fascist institution.
