    Is this patsoc stuff? Anarcho-capitalist? I can't quite figure it out from their article history. Something about it is for sure off.

    • putting Washington on a pedestal
    • crafting a narrative to imply israel holds the power in the relationship and the US isn't benefiting off its actions just because regular US people aren't necessarily benefiting, as if there's no class and caste divide that has been part of the US the whole time; like obviously it's not benefiting low caste USians, but that doesn't mean it has no benefit for plundering capitalists
    • favoring isolationism and some kind of vague notion of patriotism (to what exactly is not specified)

    It's like they align vaguely with similar talking points of those opposing the colonizer israel, but then put it in a framing of venerating colonizer figures of the past (Washington) and venerating the US as some kind intrinsic value-having entity without getting into specifics as to why. Very bizarre.

    Hehe... The title is funny.

    Makes it seem like Israel and Washington were around at the same time.

    That’s not to say that excessive advocacy for Israel is confined to the American right: As demonstrated by President Biden’s backing of Israel’s destruction of Gaza, the championing of policies that serve Israel to America’s detriment also runs rampant among establishment Democrats.

    Goober talking like a political party defines whether its members are Conservative or Not-conservative. Biden is a part of the USA's right wing.

      Yep, he was literally a segregationist most of his life. Then when he couldn't maintain that, he put the "lesser" races into prisons through crime bills.

    George Washington would definitely be for wiping out natives and taking their land. Literally what he in fact did. I am not gonna read this, sorry.
