The World Is Doomed By Western Insouciance

[The Comrade]

remember that time that the people involved with abu ghraib had nothing happen to them and weren't castigated by the US government and media?

me neither

[The Dharma Bum]

yeah, everyone responsible for that was punished lol

What about the Vietnam War? The US government lied and claimed it was attacked, the result was millions dead.

Who was punished for that?

The thing is The Comrade this sort of thing shows a pattern of behavior and not unrelated, isolated "unfortunate" incidents.

[The Comrade]

let me guess who "Everyone responsible" means...literally the entire US government?

Yes, Dharma, we get it. The US is the source of all evil. Etc etc ad nauseum. We know. You don't need to burn any more offerings for Douchenaut, the American God of Self-Flagellation and Ritual Anus Inversion.

There is nobody left here that doubts your faith.

[The Dharma Bum]

If you pretend hard enough that I ever said the US is the source of "all evil in the world" (sic) it may happen. It is a logical fallacy to create a straw man in this manner and think because this is not true you will never have to confront anything we've done and are still doing at this very minute.

The main point of all of this is to show that the post war policies of neoconservativism and neoliberalism have irreparably damaged both our domestic economy and our relations with the rest of the world.

We aren't going to be able to maintain hegemony because our economy is broken so we better quit acting like assholes before it's too late

this about what is good for America

it's that simple when comes down to it.
