Shitlibs Are Foam-Brained Human Livestock: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

The hyperbolic language westerners use to describe fairly normal modern warfare in Ukraine suggests they have invested exactly zero thought in what their own governments have been doing in the middle east for the last two decades.

It is like, yes, killing, violence and destruction is what war looks like. You are describing the thing that war is. It is creepy that you are only just discovering this now. What did you think your government has been using to conduct its wars this whole time?? Dank memes??

Before the Ukraine war I would have told you it is impossible for me to despise shitlibs any more than I already do and impossible for me to have less respect for their foam-brained worldview. But I would have been wrong. Very, very wrong.

If your understanding of world events does not account for the easily quantifiable fact that the United States is the most tyrannical regime on earth by a massive margin, nothing else in your understanding of world events will be fact-based.

There is only one government that is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases, continually working to destroy any nation who disobeys it, and has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions. It is not Russia. It is not China. One must account for this reality.

That is tyranny. That is the thing that tyranny is. If it is not tyranny to bully and brutalize the entire world into obedience by any degree of violence necessary, then tyranny is a meaningless concept. The United States just happens to export the majority of its tyranny outside its borders.

The RAND Corporation has responded to the way people have been highlighting its Pentagon-funded 2019 report on strategies for crippling Russia by attaching an editors note declaring that people who do this are Russian propagandists.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) April 20, 2022

The fact that CNN+ could not even get 10k people to pay for its content shows why Silicon Valley needs to tilt its algorithms to boost mainstream media content while hiding indie media: people only look at that bullshit when they are forced to. If it was not for Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation outlets like CNN would have died years ago.

Journalism would greatly benefit from its practitioners becoming far more disdainful of the approval of their peers, rather than seeking that approval like crack fiends. In journalism when you were respected by all the other journos it used to mean you were probably doing something right; now it is a sure sign you are doing something wrong.

Can not shake how weird it is that we are hurtling toward nuclear annihilation and we are still all babbling about Will Smith and face masks.

Future generations, if there are future generations, will look back in horror at the fact that we just let billionaire corporations not only profit from war but actively lobby for more war via think tanks, campaign funding and other influence ops.

The fact that Australians are being pummeled with war propaganda about China combined with the freakishly hawkish alarmism about the Chinese security pact with the Solomon Islands should make all conscious Australians a bit nervous.

If you do not think the United States empire would happily sacrifice Australia in a proxy war against a major rival, I suggest you take a closer look at Ukraine. Will Australians be sending our kids off to die fighting China over the Solomon Islands, or will it be over Taiwan?? Find out in the next thrilling episode of Empire Management!!

It does not need to be this way.

There is no legitimate reason major powers need to compete with each other and wave armageddon weapons at each other and try to dominate each other. We can just all collaborate toward the greater good of everyone. This is all absolute madness.

I do hope those of you who hate China but started following my work because you like my Russia-Ukraine takes are not under the illusion that we are friends. We are enemies and I deeply despise you. When things heat up with Beijing I am going to spend every waking hour trying to make you rage-cry.

When the ecosystem is dying because of economic systems which depend on infinite growth on a finite world, your choices are either (A) abandon those systems or (B) pray that sociopathic oligarchs somehow get us into space in the next few years. Guess which one we are going with.

When empire managers say "the spread of disinformation" they always mean "the spread of unauthorized information".-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) April 20, 2022

Humanitys major problems arise from the impulse to control. Ecocide arises from the impulse to control nature. Empire arises from the impulse to control civilizations. Oligarchy arises from the impulse to control political outcomes. Ego arises from the impulse to control life.

A healthy humanity would be free of the impulse to manipulate and exert control: over life, over people, over nature. But it would be so different from the humanity we know now that falling into that way of functioning would be a kind of death. And it would feel like a death.

Sometimes it seems like people want the world to end, want humanity to go extinct. I would suggest that this may be a confused expression of an intuited truth: that there is something good on the other side of ending all this. But it is the end of our dysfunction, not of our species.
