The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has dismissed U.S. calls for a return to diplomacy and lambasted condemnations of the North’s recent spy satellite launch, vowing more launches in violation of U.N. bans.
There’s been so many fucking “canaries in the coal mines” over the last several decades that at this point… “Deserve” is a word I’d use for whatever might come.
Israel right now is such a perfect fucking microcosm for the US and the world. We’re arrogant, entitled, over-extended, and too fattened up on our own bullshit to see that those “animals” are figuring out how to destroy us. Not because they “hate freedom” but because they hate being held under the boot of the US and its allies. If the US had any real leadership, any soul to speak of, it would see the results in Israel of decades of oppression and ruthless treatment and (obviously after forcing an end to that shit by forcing a one state solution) finally start to, in actual good faith, begin relations with Russia, China, nations in Africa, Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, etc. Maybe instead of crying about Chinese loans and Chinese industrial domination, fucking accept it’s over, the free ride is done, and it’s time to either negotiate a peaceful descent into equality with the world (not as its dominator)… Or, the alternative is, and I can’t see any other outcome, the total destruction of the US which probably means the world.
It’s this bullshit American exceptionalism mindset that has led to centuries of suffering from indigenous Americans all the way up to modern day Gazans and workers in the third world. The US just can’t fucking accept it was wrong about everything, it was founded on dogshit ideals and propped up by slavery and genocide, and it’s the same today, just most of it has been exported. I don’t understand why non-capitalists can’t see there is no "winning. There is no maintaining this empire even if you want to. It will end, and you can glide it to a respectable halt or explode like the fucking Hindenburg.
I think that’s about the deepest-cutting argument I can make to liberals and right wingers. It’s over. Everyone sees it’s over. You can explode and die or you can choose some sort of honorable path by rejecting your ancestors and choosing a more humane path. I think this is starting to sink in with younger generations, but not quickly enough, and those who end up in power even if "young"ish are still operating under the same mindset as the old ones. So, I dunno what’s to come in the US or the world. Absolutely nothing fucking good I can say that. When diplomacy with other countries is “bad” then I can promise NOTHING good will be coming. (But maybe)
