How Does Anyone Still Care About This Bullshit? by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

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

It is so obvious at this point that the United States is being run by unelected empire managers who throw up half-dead, half-brained presidential candidates to trick Americans into thinking they live in a democracy.

I truly could not care less who wins the United States election; in my mind Dementia Meat Puppet and Reality TV Oligarch are both perfectly suitable symbols to represent the United States empire. And that is all a United States president is: a symbolic representative with no real power.

I truly do not see how anyone can still give a f-ck about this bullshit. It is so obvious at this point that the United States is being run by unelected empire managers who throw up half-dead, half-brained presidential candidates to trick Americans into thinking they live in a democracy.

Those empire managers are going to do whatever they want to you regardless of how you and your compatriots vote. Your electoral system is a fake plastic toy they give you to play with so you will not interfere with the gears of the imperial machine.

There are no answers in electoral politics. Start looking for answers elsewhere.

Another military coup was thwarted in Bolivia on Wednesday when the people flooded the streets in support of their socialist government.

Now THAT is how you defeat a coup "please see here:"-David Adler (davidrkadler) June 26, 2024

Everything in our society is geared toward making the people forget how many of us there are and how easy it would be for us to impose our will by rising up in massive numbers. The global south is the only place where anything real is happening politically these days.

The way United States officials keep falsely asserting that Israel has accepted a peace deal and Hamas is the only party rejecting it reminds me of that time they kept insisting that the real president of Venezuela was some random guy they chose for the position.

They are just trying to impose a narrative which has no factual basis whatsoever by rote repetition and sheer force of will.

OH MY GOD HOW CAN YOU FREAKS KEEP PUBLICLY TELLING THIS BLATANT LIE?? "please see here:"-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) June 25, 2024

The biggest scandal Julian Assange exposed about the empire which rules over us was not its classified war crimes, nefarious covert operations or hidden corruption, but the fact that it will openly destroy the life of a journalist for exposing its criminality.

Good. Now imprison everyone whose war crimes Assange exposed and everyone who ruined his life for exposing them.-Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) June 25, 2024

The "Hamas uses human shields" argument is essentially "We have to attack civilian areas because Hamas hides in civilian areas knowing that we would never attack civilian areas, so that is why we attack civilian areas every single day."

It must suck to be a supremely talented artist or a brilliantly insightful comedian and know you will never achieve mainstream success because nobody who says real shit attacking real power gets elevated in our fake plastic civilization.

One of the biggest challenges when raising kids in this dystopia is being a good parent and protecting them from trauma while also making sure that, despite your good parenting, they still grow up with an aggressive distrust of authority figures.

Keep opposing United States warmongering for the rest of your life. Do not let Gaza be a one-off. The United States and its allies ALWAYS do evil murderous things like this, and they ALWAYS lie about it, and the media ALWAYS help them lie about it.

This is not new, it is just the first time in years that a large number of westerners have been fiercely critical of the foreign policy of the United States-centralized empire, because it is more obvious than the empires other crimes.

This shit has been happening continuously, and will continue to happen after the butchery in Gaza is done. You just need to pay very close attention to the United States war machine and the critical voices who monitor its crimes.

Opposing the United States empires murderous foreign policy is where it is at, resistance-wise. It is where the lions share of imperial murder and tyranny takes place, and it is the area the empire managers themselves place most importance on.

If you focus on domestic issues you will find yourself relatively well-tolerated by at least one mainstream political faction, but if you attack the imperial war machine you will get empire apologists jumping down your throat from all directions.

This is because the ability to freely inflict mass military violence upon disobedient populations is much, much more important to the imperial power structure than domestic issues like abortion or LGBTQ rights, or even issues like police brutality and economic justice.

This does not mean those issues are unimportant, it just means they are unimportant to our rulers compared to the emphasis they place on unrestricted mass military violence.

War is the glue that holds together the undeclared globe-spanning empire that is centralized around the United States.

The war machine is the most aggressively-protected aspect of the empire for the same reason our bodies form protective bone barriers around our most vital organs with the skull and ribcage; it is what is most crucial for the empires survival. But, much like vital organs, it is also the softest and squishiest part of the empire.

It is much easier to point at the footage of what they are doing in Gaza and go "This is bad" than to explain the abusive dynamics of economic injustice, exploitation and oppression taking place in your own country, because it is so much more self-evidently evil at a glance.

That is why the mass media propaganda about the empires wars, militarism and genocidal atrocities is so much more aggressive than on domestic issues: it requires much more defending and apologia.

So the warmongering of the United States and its allies and partners is the weakest, most vulnerable part of the imperial power structure, and it is also the most vital, and it is also the most dangerous and destructive.

That is why I personally choose to focus most of my energy on these issues. Not because other issues do not matter, but because it is the most energy-efficient use of my resistance!!
