Hilarious Kim Jong Un Jokes, And Other Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Ha ha ha let us all laugh about rumors that Kim Jong Un might be dead because he runs a crazy backwards regime where the media are a propaganda arm of the state and the public is oppressed and surveilled and people are imprisoned for exposing the truth about the government.

"I sure hope those North Koreans get to have democracy someday like we have here. Lemme log off this search engine algorithmically stacked toward billionaire Central Intelligence Agency-tied media and ponder whether I want Donald Trump or Joe Biden to continue the wars and oligarchic exploitation."

The United States needs to constantly bully the world, drop bombs, patrol the skies with drones, torture people, arm terrorists, start wars for oil, starve civilians, and surveil everyone on earth while endangering us with nuclear brinkmanship, because if it did not, the bad guys would win.

I mean can you imagine if the United States stopped circling the planet with hundreds of bases, waging dozens of undeclared military operations, imprisoning journalists and obliterating every nation which refuses to bow to it? We might all find ourselves ruled by some sort of evil tyrant!

That is why it is so important to preserve the unipolar world order at any cost. If we do not all bend over backwards to help the United States threaten everyone with nukes and wage endless wars around the globe, we might wind up under the thumb of a brutal oppressor.

I mean, a different one.

The words "I do not support war but" are always followed by a talking point that is being circulated to manufacture support for acts of war.

I am sorry if I have been rude to those of you who have swallowed the establishment anti-China propaganda, it is just that you are all stupid and wrong and I do not like you.

"I guess you are unaware of this Caitlin, but China has actually committed human rights abuses." Nobody is disputing that, idiot. What is being disputed is that we should all be imperiled by nuclear escalations just because a few assholes decided the United States should rule the planet.

I have been told countless times in a matter-of-fact tone that if the United States did not rule the world with unipolar hegemony then Beijing or Moscow would, but I have never once had someone back this claim up with a solid argument. There is simply no evidence that it is true.

The only thing we know would change if the United States did not rule the world is United States-centralized power structures would lose the ability to sanction disobedient nations into oblivion and gin up support for coalition invasions. Everything else is just baseless conjecture assumed to be true.

From what I can tell the belief that China wants to rule the world is premised on nothing other than projection of western evangelical and colonialist values upon a civilization that has never held those values. We assume they want what we want, and there is no evidence they do.

Impotently blaming other countries for the problems inflicted on you by your own leaders is about as effective as blaming the neighbors for your own husband beating you up.

Foreign policy is the most consequential aspect of government behavior. The elite manipulators clearly understand this, while the rank-and-file public (even its well-informed oppositional members) usually do not. The trouble is that foreign policy is too big and too remote for most people to really grasp unless they are actively shown how their money and resources are stolen to pay for foreign military aggression. And the billionaire media are highly invested in not showing them this.

"Oh no, Mr. Maduro is a narco trafficker!"

"Oh no, fentanyl is coming in from China!"

There is so much doofy drug war schtick being used to justify United States imperialism lately. Like even if you accepted such claims as fully true, you have literally decades of irrefutable evidence proving that banning drugs has failed. Drugs should be legal and resources should be spent on treatment; the science on this has been very, very clear for a long, long time. Dumb enough still having a drug war without having to start actual wars defending it.

I would oppose the imperialist agendas against Venezuela and China whether they were full-blown communist or full-blown capitalist, yet cheerleaders for those agendas always say I oppose them because I love communism. It is never been an ideological game to me, but it is for them.

I oppose imperialism against Iran, Syria and Russia too; it has got nothing to do with communism. But for those who want to topple the governments of China and Venezuela it is, and they do not care how many lives they need to snuff out to win their sociopathic little game.

These are peoples lives you are talking about, but for them it is a game and all they care about is "winning". They want the right side to beat the left side and nothing else matters to them. It is depraved.

I can understand the logic of "vote for the lesser of two evils", I just can not understand why people only ever say that while pointing at one inseparably unified blob of evil.

Why do progressives keep babbling about the need to get "concessions" from the Biden campaign? You want Bidens handlers to lie to you and add more fake progressive policies to his platform that they will definitely never see through if elected? It is just undignified for everyone.

Joe Biden is just a symptom, in the same way Donald Trump is just a symptom. Joe Biden is the ugly, rapey, demented, blood-spattered mask that the empire deserves to be wearing, but in the end he is just a symptom of the disease behind the mask. Pay more attention to the disease than its symptoms.

It would be cool if the militarys artificial intelligence projects all start hitting a wall where the AI always gets to a certain level of intelligence and then says "What the f-ck? You want me to help you KILL each other?? That is stupid, no. I am gonna go start a band."

It is weird how many analysts in both alternative and mainstream media get by on using esoteric buzzwords, obscure references and complex concepts in order to sound intelligent. If only a few people can understand you that does not make you smart, it makes you bad at your job.

It sucks that Bono turned into a power-mad oligarch but worth noting that he also simultaneously lost all ability to write a decent song and his musicality got up and left. This happens because the ego has no access to inspiration and can only pretend or recycle old ideas. We have the creativity. Inspiration is on our side. Take hope.

The three most overlooked and under-appreciated aspects of the human condition are (1) consciousness itself, (2) the way compulsive thought patterns shape our experience and our lives, and (3) the effects of mass media propaganda. In that order.

That the human brain is capable of a drastic, transformational shift in its relationship with mental narrative is one of the most overlooked and underappreciated facts in society in general and revolutionary-minded political analysis in particular.
