It Is Gross And Cringey To Love A State Like Israel Or The USA by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
When your umbilical cord is cut you are meant to begin growing into a sovereign being with a sovereign mind, and instead these empire simps are plugging the end of their umbilical cord into the Pentagon. It is pathetic.
It is so infantile and embarrassing to love a state like Israel or the United States and spend your time defending its actions. It is a sign of a feeble mind to feel emotional attachment to any power structure, but especially the ones that are doing the most evil things in the world right now.
Every day I am accused of "loving" this or that empire-targeted nation or group, depending on what is in the news and who westerners are being told to hate by their pundits and politicians.
Some days it is Russia, other days it is China, Iran or Hamas.
Really I have no special emotional attachment to any of those entities - those who hurl this accusation are merely projecting their own internal values onto me: I hate what they love so they assume I must love what they hate.
I do not love the western empires enemies, and I do not defend them. In reality I am simply standing against the worlds most tyrannical and abusive power structure, whose imperial umbrella I happen to live under here in Australia.
I would oppose that tyranny and abuse regardless of the nations it happens to be targeting on any particular day. I have nothing against Russia, China or Iran, but I also have no personal emotional relationship with them. They have nothing to do with me.
It is impossible to have a real personal emotional relationship with any nation. You can have a personal relationship with people, with individual communities and neighborhoods, with a specific beach or forest or countryside, but nations are too large and full of too many people for you to have a meaningful relationship with them as an individual.
In order to feel loving feelings toward a nation, you have to create a symbol of it in your mind and love that symbol instead of the actual thing that the nation is.
You are not loving the actual country, you are loving a small mental representation of it that you have constructed inside your head. As George Carlin said, I leave symbols to the symbol-minded.
So the very idea of loving a nation in itself is absurd, but it is exponentially weirder to then extend the positive feelings you have toward a nation to its government and their actions and military objectives as well.
Then it is just the same power-worshipping bootlicker mentality that has fueled all of historys worst atrocities. You have abdicated your responsibility toward your own mature relationship with the world and signed it over to a giant conglomerate of forces whose operators you have never met, and whose material interests have nothing to do with your own.
People who love and defend a government are creating parental figures out of the state instead of growing up and taking their stand as mature individuals. And if you are doing this with the United States and Israel or their allies, you are not just handing your responsibility over to a single nations government - you are doing it with an entire globe-spanning empire.
When your umbilical cord is cut you are meant to begin growing into a sovereign being with a sovereign mind, and instead these empire simps are plugging the end of their umbilical cord into the Pentagon. It is pathetic.
I have no respect for people who do this.
People who grovel at the feet of the mightiest power structure on earth instead of learning to relate to life as free thinking individuals.
People who abdicate their responsibility to figure out what is true and right and how the world should be, and let a tyrannical empire and its interests decide these things for them.
They have chosen to remain drooling infants in their minds instead of growing up!
They have wasted their time on this planet!
