Why fund your own demise? You can’t take the moral high ground with an immoral enemy. This isn’t a movie.

- tehjoker 6y agoI find it difficult to recall the last time America took the moral high ground that wasn't based solely in looking good for anti-communist purposes in the last 75 years. The only exceptions were when domestic unrest forced the ruling class to give protestors civil rights. In particular, US foreign policy has been a long unending horror show of bombing, invasions, and starvation via sanctions. At the UN our record is dismal at best, with the US often standing entirely alone with regressive countries we've bought off like Saudia Arabia on a litany of issues.

- sudosysgen 6y agoThat's not the issue. The issue is then to claim the moral high ground to compel other people to sacrifice something.
