A Sense Of Perspective, If You Please: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

The United States and its allies feigned impartiality on the conflict in Ethiopia this whole time and then someone literally just recorded a Zoom conference of western diplomatic insiders casually chatting about wanting the TPLF to topple the sitting government and leaked the video.

"Should the United States and its allies intervene militarily in.."

No. The answer is no. The answer is always no. As evidenced by generations of unbroken history in the modern world. How f-cking hard is that???

Issues that make sense to focus on a lot:

-Our imminent doom via nuclear war or environmental collapse
-Imperialism
-Dystopian authoritarianism
-Abuses of capitalism

Issues that do not make sense to focus on a lot:

-Electoral politics
-Society getting "too woke"
-Social media feuds

"Eww China has reeducation camps, can you believe that? Imagine, a program for systematically changing the thoughts people think to make them obedient. It is so creepy and Orwellian. Can not wait to find out what else CNN has to tell me about the world after this commercial break!"

As the United States ramps up brinkmanship with Russia and China it has simultaneously upgraded its nuclear arsenal to make nuke blasts more destructive and thereby capable of eliminating an enemys underground warheads. This will make an enemy more likely to strike first to avoid being disarmed.

I keep tripping on how weird it is that the United States empire is charging into new cold wars with two nuclear-armed nations simultaneously for the first time ever and hardly anyone seems to think humanitys most imminent threat could be all those armageddon weapons we have been stockpiling. I mean, how stupid would we feel for missing that one??

"There is no threat of nuclear war," said the smart person. "I trust the United States war machine which consistently makes the worst possible decisions in every instance to perfectly navigate a hair-trigger nuclear standoff on two fronts every hour of every day for the foreseeable future."

People who think MAD will continually keep the world safe from nuclear armageddon (A) do not understand the factors that are most likely to lead to nuclear war and (B) have not thought very hard about what the "M" and the "D" stand for.

The belief that Mutually Assured Destruction will protect us even amid reckless cold war escalations is insane. Only detente can provide safety, with the ultimate goal of complete disarmament.

The United States is going to start a nuclear war with Russia or China and the online left will still be focused on the Leftist Heretic of the Day for several minutes after the first bombs hit.

FYI it does not matter how correct you were about Russiagate being bullshit if you are now deep throating MSM China narratives with zero gag reflex.

FYI it is not okay to be a grown adult at the end of the year 2021 and still believe Joe Biden is a good president.

Some people enjoy being whipped bare ass whilst receiving humiliating verbal insults. Some people enjoy publicly proclaiming that Democrats will surely do the right thing this time and getting their hopes up high that they will. Do not kink shame.

The opinion that there should be literally no dissent anywhere at all about government Covid policies which affect everyone is one of the most bat shit insane beliefs you could possibly come up with.

Racism is a real problem that must be made conscious AND ALSO the issue is often manipulated to protect the status quo.

Climate change is real AND ALSO manipulative plutocrats are looking to benefit from it.

Covid is dangerous AND ALSO it is being used to advance unjust agendas.

Because our brains are wired to reject any information which could threaten our worldview, it provides more cognitive ease to simply dismiss every part of any idea that might add layers of complexity to your position. But doing so distorts our perspective.

It has gotten to the point where any time I see exciting new anti-imperialist voices emerge in left media I start inwardly cringing because I know there is going to be a vicious hate campaign directed against them using leftist-sounding language and given leftist-looking legitimacy.

Highly effective anti-imperialist voices will always be attacked and undermined and leftists will always be manipulated into distrusting them. There will always be a reason found for doing this. And people fall for it every damn time.

All of humanitys problems are ultimately due to ego.

Ego is ultimately born of a desire for control.

The desire for control is ultimately a maladaptive impulse which we are all eventually going to have to relinquish in order to have a healthy world.
