Everything Is Getting Way More Dangerous And Way More Stupid by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Moon of Alabama has an article out on how an uncomfortable number of relatively restraint-oriented foreign policy officials have been exiting the Biden administration, while a China hawk has just been appointed the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Antiwar has an article out about how New York congressman Jerry Nadler told an Epoch Times reporter that he "would not care" if Ukraine used United States-made F-16s to strike Russian territory, and does not find the possibility that they might do so concerning.

This comes days after we learned that the Biden administration has signed off on Ukraine getting F-16s while also greenlighting an offensive on Crimea using United States-made weapons, a nightmare scenario which greatly escalates the risks of nuclear war.

There are no adults behind the wheel of the vehicle that is driving us toward World War Three. We are on a bus that is being driven straight toward a cliff, and it is being driven by infants. If we survive this it will not be because of the experienced leadership of western governments, but completely in spite of it.

There are many characters in the world of literature who dream of joining the #UAarmy - the side of good.-jk_rowling

It is getting more and more dangerous, and it is getting more and more stupid. The other day the Ukrainian government tweeted a video in which the faces of characters from the Harry Potter film series are superimposed over Ukrainian soldiers, a perfect compliment to an earlier tweet by NATO about the Ukrainian military saying "We are Harry Potter and William Wallace, the Na vi and Han Solo. We are escaping from Shawshank and blowing up the Death Star. We are fighting with the Harkonnens and challenging Thanos." This truly is the phoniest, most PR-intensive proxy war of all time.

And that is nothing compared to how stupid the 2024 United States presidential race is getting, already in May of 2023. In a recent interview on Fox News, Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis was asked by Trey Gowdy how he would respond to the war in Ukraine on day one of his presidency and he started babbling about wokeness and gender ideology.

"Well first, I think what we need to do as a veteran is recognize that our military has become politicized," said DeSantis. "You talk about gender ideology, you talk about things like global warming, that they are somehow concerned and that is not the military that I served in. We need to return our military to focusing on commitment, focusing on the core values and the core mission."

GOWDY: If you are president, how would you address the war in Ukraine?

DESANTIS: First, I think what we need to do as a veteran is recognize that our military has become politicized. You talk about gender ideology--Aaron Rupar (atrupar) May 25, 2023

Are you ready for a year and a half of this? Because you are getting a year and a half of this. A year and a half of all substantive questions about real policy of real consequence getting diverted into the most vapid culture war quagmires you can possibly imagine, because it is not the United States presidents job to change the way the United States empire operates, it is the United States presidents job to keep everyone dazzled with fake bullshit while the United States empire marches along unimpeded by the wishes of the voting public.

Supporters of Israeli apartheid and Americas proxy war in Ukraine have been pretending to believe that rock icon Roger Waters donned a Nazi costume in support of Nazism at a concert in Berlin earlier this month, their feigned outrage leading to an investigation by German police despite the fact that literally everyone knows he was just portraying the fascist character from Pink Floyds The Wall that he has been performing for over four decades.

Oh yeah, and they are continuing to aggressively normalize the use of police robots despite massive public opposition.

This is a dark, strange timeline, and the more dangerous it gets, the dumber it gets!!

Still there is no reason to give up hope, and there is no reason to give up joy.

No matter how dark things get, there is always the possibility that there are forces moving beneath the surface of our collective psyche which can change it all on a dime once conditions are ripe.

No matter how dark things get, we are still living in a profoundly beautiful and fascinating world which is a privilege and delight to participate in for even an instant.

No matter how dark things get, we can still keep doing our best to try to make them a little bit better while making sure we do not waste any of our precious time in this universe failing to appreciate its awesomeness.

There is darkness, but there is also light. Far more of it than most people realize.

So do your worst, Stupid Dystopia. We will fight with all we have got and enjoy the ride for as long as we are here!!
