    Normal schemes are when you have extremely stovepiped and decentralized ops like Iran-Contra and 9/11 which involved everyone from Presidents/PMs/5 star generals all over the world, all the way down to random dudes off the street to push drugs to fund operations or idk, do some shit like bomb a building in OKC

    And everyone once in a while, we have "real journalists" over at a rag like the Intercept talking about how much of a bumbling operation the CIA is, which then gets used as blunt instrument to beat down anyone questioning official narratives -- "just one degree away from Alex Jones"



  • He's been persona non grata since the start of the Ukraine war, but I'm talking more about his own positions recently. I was just watching the Russell Brand interview he did a couple months back, and he was basically shitting on the current US in relation to the USSR.

    I just had a blast checking out the Chomsky subreddit to see so many posts going full contortionist mode trying to jedi mind trick Chomsky's position on NATO provocations leading to this war as somehow being Russia's fault. The sub has always been lib, but the amount of shitlibs on that sub is unreal now. Feels like it was brigaded by Vaush fans or some shit. There used to be MLs on that sub all the time just coming in and dunking on Chomsky's positions and not getting flooded with down votes. Not anymore tho




  • Its even more cynical in this instance. A fascist state like the US co-opting Tubman is even better optics than just neutering a revolutionary icon. Because of her work against the Confederacy (a great evil that our noble nation saw fit to destroy, something other nations just don't do because they aren't so moral) and all the myths and legends surrounding her, Tubman's profile is effectively tabula rasa for propaganda purposes. Any number of entities can draw on the canvass that is Harriet Tubman. From putting her face on the currency that dominates the world order, leaving in its wake nothing but death and destruction, to making statues for her at the HQ of an intelligence agency that has played a significant role in that aforementioned death and destruction. It further mythologizes the US as a nation that continues to progress morally in a grand Whiggish narrative

    The same way you would break down the contradictory nature of the "bad corp crony capitalism" arguments. Then you'd probably have to come up with some analogous arguments about why eating bugs isn't so bad, how it's a cultural thing, how we already consume bug adjacent organisms (literally eating oyster snot), how some integration of bugs might be necessary in the future, especially the way we're going, and how most Amerikkkan food is fucked presently anyways (and some of it might even be incorporating buggy elements already).

    At which point you'll realize Amerikkka is fucked because you probably aren't going to convince many people, if any at all. So you just make petty small talk and hope for a JDPON order

    Never played the game but understand that many of the USSR "perspectives" from WW2 come straight from Nazi accounts, especially as it was politically expedient to whitewash as much of the Nazi record as possible in order to integrate them into the larger Cold War initiative. That shit just flows downstream culturally, and games are just as bad as Hollywood.

    The biggest street gang is the local PD in any city/locale. There was at one point a great potential within urban gangs to subvert the misery unloaded upon minorities, but of course this was stomped out in the same way the feds pumped the Black Panthers with heroin and violently hunted them down

    Meanwhile 70% of border cartel weaponry comes via Texas. Like Vin Diesel continually getting sequels, Holder's Operation Fast & Furious has plenty of prequels and sequels as well. The drug cartel doesn't exist without the state, and the drug cartel isn't as consolidated as is presented by state dept media. It should come as no surprise that the new drug war frontier is "fentanyl via China"
