It is presented as an attack against the left, which is popular with proponents of the current administration. Trying to analyze it at the object level is pointless - this is, chiefly, a political move toward political ends.
- lazide 2y agoReally it’s just an attack against any truth/data found inconvenient. Why argue when you can just make it not exist?

Here is Rubio talking about how great USAID is not that long ago... https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/05/politics/video/kfile-marco-rubio-usaid-foreign-aid-praise-ebof-digvid https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/05/politics/video/kfile-marc... Not he says it's a criminal organization they've been trying to get rid of over multiple administrations. Obviously they want to scrub all the past.

- soco 2y agoReminds me of that tweet where someone was complaining how difficult is to combat the arguments of the left because these tend to be based on facts.
- christkv 2y agoI view it more like a battle between two groups of the elites. The left/right prism is a distraction. Personally I think both political parties got taken over by what we used to call the Neo-cons. The Republicans underwent an internal revolution that sidelined the Neo-cons inside it. So I view this as a battle between one group Neo-cons vs this new group represented by the current administration. I don't have an opinion if that is better or worse, only time will tell. Demolishing USAID etc. should be seen as purging their political enemies and their supporters who's been nesting in the public structure for a couple of decades.
