United States Interventionism Always Makes Things Worse: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article:

Friendly reminder that it is impossible to get a clear understanding of what is going on in the world without accounting for the fact that very powerful people within your own society are actively working very hard to manipulate your understanding in their favor.

Obviously believing unproven United States or Ukrainian claims about what is happening on the ground in Ukraine is as dumb as believing unproven Russian claims about what is happening there, and anyone advocating for direct NATO military intervention against Russia is an enemy of our species.

Advocating skepticism of unproven claims made during a war and saying nuclear superpowers should not attack one anothers military forces on the basis of those claims should literally be the least controversial position that anyone could possibly voice about anything.

United States military interventionism always makes things worse and never accomplishes what its proponents claim it will accomplish. It is stupid to have to keep saying this year after year. There is nothing wrong in Ukraine that direct United States military intervention could not make much, much worse.

It has been universally understood since Stalin got the bomb that nuclear-armed powers must never go to war with each other, but everyone is so insane now we are seeing daily op-eds and news segments about how NATO could attack the Russian military in Ukraine without starting a nuclear war.

Nuclear superpowers must never go to war with each other.

This is the single most existentially important thing for the human species to understand. It has been understood for generations, and it did not magically stop being true because you saw a bunch of Ukrainian flags and some unconfirmed pictures of alleged war crimes.

People say things like, "President Putin believes he can rely on the nuclear threat to keep us from confronting him!" Yeah that is how military strategy works, dipshit. He has a military strength that his enemies need to respect. That means you should not attack Russia, not that you should.

For years I have had idiot QAnon cultists telling me nuclear weapons are a hoax and they are not real. Now all of a sudden my online notifications are full of shitlibs saying almost the same thing.

Still hilarious that the United States of America thinks it has the moral authority to tell other nations how they should respond to a military invasion.

Do you truly believe it is a coincidence that mainstream United States of Americans were made to despise President Putin with a Donald Trump-Russia collusion narrative that turned out to be pure bullshit in the years preceding an unrelated United States proxy war against President Putin??

What would it mean if it was not a coincidence??

Looks like Jen Psakis making a major career move from spreading United States government lies to spreading United States government lies on cable news.

If you look at the behavior of the United States empire underneath all the narratives, two things become clear:

-It plans to prevent the emergence of a multipolar world by halting the rise of China.

-It can only accomplish this via actions that will massively disrupt the entire world.

The strongest argument for a multipolar world is that maintaining a unipolar one necessarily requires endless violence and continually escalating nuclear brinkmanship. It is literally unsustainable.

There is no valid reason nations can not just get along and collaborate toward the greater good of humanity without one of them trying to dominate all the others. The unipolarist impulse to rule the earth stops this peaceful and collaborative world from emerging. There is no "Pax Americana".

Unipolarism is the opposite of peace.

People try to argue that if the United States was not the unipolar world dominator then it would be China or someone else, because it is "human nature" to want to take over the world. But there was never a unipolar world hegemon ever in human history until three decades ago; you can not claim something that has only happened one single time is "human nature".

Europeans set sail and conquered people around the world. China built a wall. Also the idea that China seeks to replace the United States as global tyrant assumes that Beijing has been watching the United States empire crush itself under its own weight and thinking "Ooh, yeah, that looks awesome. Let us definitely do that."

It says so much about how propagandized people are and how insulated their ideological echo chambers have become that their first thought when encountering someone with a foreign policy opinion they disagree with is "I bet this person is a secret agent from a hostile government."

I am always like, really??

That is your go-to??

That I am saying what I am saying because I am an operative for a foreign intelligence agency??

Can it not possibly just be that I just have different opinions about the worlds most powerful government than the ones you hear on TV??

How distorted does the information landscape have to be that criticizing the most dangerous impulses of the most powerful and destructive power structure on earth is something people view as weird and suspicious???

It really tells you how powerful the empires narrative domination is.

Even leaving aside how normal criticizing the worlds largest power structure ought to be, how homogeneous has the information environment become where any divergence of opinion sticks out so much that it is met with such intense shock that people think you are a foreign agent??

Russian perspectives need to be banned and Germans need to be jailed for supporting President Putin and the news media need to push United States government narratives and Silicon Valley algorithms need to aggressively boost those government narratives, because that is what it takes to protect the western world from tyranny.

Few people sincerely want the truth about the world!!

Most just want politicians and pundits to whisper reassuringly in their ear, "Do not worry. We have got this. Your schoolteachers told you the truth about everything, and so did the news man. You are on the side of righteousness."
