Opposing United States Imperialism Is A Moral Imperative: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

If you have ever wondered whether you are the sort of person who would have taken a stand against the Nazis in Germany, the answer is that you would have behaved however you are behaving toward the murderous imperialist power of today, namely the United States government.

Words cannot describe my disdain for people who claim United States imperialism is a "complicated" issue. It is like, well, figure it the
f-ck out then asshole, you are killing people. Is it not worth a few moments of your time to work out why they are murdering people in your name?

Living in the United States or one of its vassal states without opposing its imperialist warmongering is a morally indefensible position. "I just focus on domestic policy" is an illegitimate stance while your rulers are butchering human beings around the world.

I oppose western imperialism against China and Venezuela and they say it is because I love communism.

I oppose western imperialism against Iran and they say I love theocracy.

I oppose western imperialism against Syria and Russia and they say I love autocracy.

Maybe I just oppose imperialism.

"I oppose ALL imperialism, not just western imperialism!"

So western imperialism and also imaginary fantasy world imperialism? Cool!

"I criticize all governments equally."

Okay, well you are a f-cking idiot then.

All things are not equal.

Only one government is dominating the planet with nonstop military and economic warfare. It and its allies deserve more criticism than other governments.

This is the shit United States of American minds are being fed while their government condemns foreign nations for circulating propaganda and disinfo.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) March 19, 2021

Saying the United States and China are equally bad is dumber than saying Nazis and Antifa are equally bad.

Only one nation in the world is waging nonstop wars, circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, and working to destroy any nation which disobeys it. And it aint China.

China has the same government it had a few years ago. If you find yourself thinking more negative thoughts about China now, it is not because it has been doing anything differently, it is because you have been successfully propagandized.

Me: The western empire is running an aggressive and deceitful propaganda campaign against China.

My comments section: Okay but I do not understand why you are defending a government of genocidal organ harvesters who is trying to take over the world and give me a social credit score.

If you oppose imperialism but are also parroting the United States empires propaganda narratives about China, then you do not oppose imperialism.

The agenda to halt Chinas rise is by far the single most crucial agenda for the empire, and you are helping to grease the wheels for that agenda.

Imperialists are so, so happy that they get to call people questioning a major imperialist propaganda narrative "genocide deniers" now. You can see the glee in their tweets. Calling people "conspiracy theorists" has lost its punch since Russiagate, but now they have a new toy.

It sure would be nice if United States liberals pushed as hard for an end to the Trump administrations policies as they did for an end to the Trump administration.

Conservative pundit: Aha look at what I am doing to offend the liberals

The liberals: Rahh we feel offended by that thing he did

Imperialist mass murder: "continues unnoticed"

[Repeat]

Our problems do not exist because of some deep flaw in humanity as a whole, but in the fact that a few humans lack well-developed empathy centers in their brains and then go on to obtain positions of power and influence.

Most people understand that it is wrong to judge an entire ethnic or religious group for the negative actions of a few of its members, but too few see that this also applies to humanity as a whole.

None of our problems are due to any flaw in human nature itself, but to the actions of a few manipulative sociopaths.

There is nothing inherently wrong with humanity itself that is making a mess of things.

The problem is that we are swimming in lies that we have been indoctrinated into by liars who benefit from our remaining deceived.

All our problems can be solved by moving from lies to truth.

There are no human-generated problems that can not be solved by truth.

The truth about imperialism.

The truth about power.

The truth about propaganda.

The truth about mental narrative.

The truth about consciousness.

There is nothing wrong with us, we have just been confused by lies.

And sure, you can say we are flawed because we have not yet awakened en masse to the truth, but in my opinion that is just unhelpful victim blaming.

Like the "Why did you not leave sooner?" question abuse victims too often get. The blame rests on the abusers.

We are surrounded by constant radiant beauty and have no ultimate understanding about anything we experience. Awe and reverence is the only sane response to any given moment.

It would be a shame to miss this.
