US domestic propaganda is built on hypocrisy (we need to stop X from doing Y... which we or our allies are doing already). It might not be explicitly stated right here, on this matter (contrary to The Register), but that’s the backdrop.
Calling it hypocrisy is at the very least good propaganda to try to wake Americans up from their stupor.
Admittedly though with Trump there’s no hypocritical propaganda any more. He just says he “wants the oil” or whatever.
- tptacek 7mo agoIt is not my argument that the US isn't generally hypocritical.
- keybored 7mo agoReally I’m just bringing up irrelevant stuff. The mood now is certainly to just punch people in the face and then have no shame about what a scumbag you are. What? Who told you that I care about anything but myself? Sucker, I never even pretended to care. No more pretending. No more games. Just raw shamelessness.
- keybored 7mo ago> just punch people in the face and then have no shame about what a scumbag you are. I’m more of a Realist, akshually. But the amoral State isn’t the only entity here.
