> Xi Jinping, the Venezuelan government and the Ayatollah of Iran Wow so much more horrible than being in good company with George Bush, Tony Blair, Dick Chene

> Xi Jinping, the Venezuelan government and the Ayatollah of Iran Wow so much more horrible than being in good company with George Bush, Tony Blair, Dick Cheney and the other assorted Anglosaxons. Because only Anglosaxon enemies are horrible people. Even if 75% of the world think precisely the opposite. Its 23 years into 21st century. Its time for 'white man's burden' mentality to die out in all its incarnations.

I never defended any of those people. You're arguing against something you made up in your head.

  But you did. Constant lambasting, smearing of an establishment's enemies while not using the scepter of the same criteria against the own establishment makes 'others' evil and the establishment 'not so evil'. https://i.imgur.com/SCGWd7I.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SCGWd7I.jpg Your repetition of that establishment's smears against its currently targeted enemies just propagates its propaganda.

    1) no i didn't, 2) I made one comment, there's nothing constant about it, 3) they're not smears. I don't like the leadership in the west either, but I don't use them as examples in this case because they're not the obvious examples. The US doesn't have capital flight restrictions the way China does. When we are talking about drone striking civilians I'll be sure to bring up Obama instead of Xi. You really need to not take this stuff so personal.

      > 3) they're not smears. They are. Just like how it was with all the US enemies before those, "Every US enemy is Hitler". Because there is no other way to justify atrocious wars. > I don't like the leadership in the west either And yet, you dont go around making strong statements filled with emotion about those who murdered 1 million in Iraq etc and pushing for their persecution or their overthrow. > You really need to not take this stuff so personal. It is personal. This kind of rhetoric is used to build up public opinion for overseas wars and regime changes, which then come and hit the countries of people like me overseas. There doesn't even need to be a majority opinion for it - the establishment doesnt care about the majority's opinion - its enough if just a percentage of public makes enough noise in the way they want them to. Like how you helped make happen. ... Actually, its more than personal now - as of this moment the US is pushing war with two superpowers at the same time - Russia and China - using that very rhetoric. It is even easing the public into believing that 'a nuclear war wouldnt be so destructive'. The psychopathy and delirium are now at a civilization-destroying level, not a 'We will have some overseas wars to bash the heads in of some 3rd world countries to rob their oil' level. If things go at the rate they are going, this thing wont remain as a scholarly, no-strings-attached opinion matter for you like how it is now either. Its no longer like a football match played in an away field...
