I’ll help translate, as I actually grew up inside the beltway in Washington DC. For a certain community of sociopathic individuals often referred to as the “foreign policy establishment” the word “serious” is a synonym for “willing to insist that other people’s children go kill people in foreign countries.” Perhaps you’re not into that idea. Perhaps you think people far away should decide things for themselves, or maybe you just think the idea of sending people from Medford or Tuscaloosa to shoot people in Kandahar is a fucking terrible idea that is certainly immoral and also has no practical chance of improving anyone’s life. Well in that case, as anyone can see, you’re not a serious person. QED
