Capitalism, Assange, And More Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Capitalism will keep getting more and more unjust and exploitative until people force its end. You can try making it about elite globalist conspiracies and corrupt governments all you want, but ultimately it is really just capitalism following its natural and inevitable course.

This is why I often avoid making our worlds problems about specific individuals; our worlds problems are not about specific individuals. You could get rid of all the individuals currently screwing us and if you kept the same systems they would be replaced almost instantly.

People whose ideology prohibits them from admitting capitalism is responsible for humanitys existential crises need to make up other reasons for those crises. It is the globalists. It is the Jews. It is corrupt politicians.

No, it is just capitalism doing what capitalism has to do. There are no specific groups or individuals you could eliminate from the equation to make capitalism move in a healthy way. As long as depravity is profitable and human behavior is driven by profit, humanity will always necessarily follow a depraved trajectory.

This does not mean criticisms of individuals are invalid, they are just not striking the root. Get rid of all the elites poisoning the world today and if you leave the same systems in place we will find ourselves getting screwed by the Whateverski family and some guy named O Donnell.

So many of the popular theories in todays conspiracy circles ultimately boil down to "Oh no, the elites are ruining the capitalism!"

No they are not. They are perfectly embodying it.

The Julian Assange case is this generations Nelson Mandela moment. Get on the right side of it or be forever judged by history.

Every news outlet and every journalist who is not speaking out for Julian Assange with urgency and force is admitting they have no intention of ever challenging power in any meaningful way; they are saying this trial poses no threat to them. They are admitting they are propagandists.

It is so interesting how all these pedantic little transnational legal quibbles about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks can be stitched together into a prosecution whose end result just so happens to look exactly the same as powerful governments imprisoning a journalist for exposing United States war crimes.

The Julian Assange trial looks different when you realize it is actually just a collaborative performance by the United States and United Kingdom governments to explain why it is good to jail journalists for telling the truth.

If you can not see that the United States-centralized empire is the most destructive and oppressive force on this earth, then you will not see any part of the rest of the world clearly either.

Prisoner: Let me out of this cell! I have done nothing wrong!

Warden: Okay, here is the key. You are free.

Prisoner: This key is three feet long and made out of foam!

Warden: It will work, just keep trying.

Prisoner: This is impossible! What the hell is this?

Warden: We call it voting.

The outcome of the United States election in November will have no meaningful impact whatsoever on humanitys rapidly accelerating trajectory toward extinction, but it will be great for news media ratings.

QAnon is all the dumbest things about Republicans crossed with all the dumbest things about 4chan crossed with all the dumbest things about boomers crossed with the dumbest iteration of conspiracy analysis you could possibly imagine.

Believing this new cold war is safe because we survived the last one is as sane as believing Russian roulette is safe because the guy passing you the gun did not get his head blown off.

The position that detente should be sought with China and Russia is not a position that says their governments are wonderful, it is the position that the neoconservative ideology of United States unipolar domination at all cost is not worth gambling the life of every terrestrial organism on.

The Iraq invasion killed hundreds of times more people than 9-11-01 and was vastly more evil than 9-11-01. If they lied to us about Iraq, they will lie to us about anything.

In a remotely sane world, war would be the last thing anyone ever wants and would be turned to only as a very last resort. In a world that is dominated by an empire which seeks total planetary control, wars are planned as an ends in themselves and excuses are invented to get into them.

The impulse to control things is why egos exist. The impulse to control things is also why empires exist.

Psychology is the tool propagandists use to manipulate us into consenting to the status quo.

The more you understand about the workings of your own mind, the easier a time you will have spotting all manipulations.

See how you fool yourself and you will see how they fool everyone.
