Westerners once again demonstrating that they’re incapable of accepting that their countries problems are home grown and not the result of evil conspiracies by perfidious foreigners.
They can’t help themselves but to scapegoat and project every single problem they created onto what they view as “inferior” races and countries.
Usonians think they’re the arbiter of goodness, the moral standard of the world, after their country just killed a million innocent people in Iraq, and are the main funders of the current genocide in Palestine.
The only way to explain it is, that they view themselves as superior and civilized, and every other country is wrong, untrustworthy, and scheming. Western supremacy has completely taken over their brains, and it becomes the lens that they view the world through, and their gut reaction to any event.
Liberal democracy’s portrayal as the sole legitimate form of governance amounts to nothing more than modern-day marketing for colonialism, serving as a pretext for Western invasions and global atrocities masquerading as benevolent civilizing missions. Nothing really changed since the early days of colonialism, it’s just different window dressing for the masses.
The claim over whether Donald Trump is officially employed by Russia misses the structural and materialist analysis of imperialism and class interests. The global capitalist class, particularly those in positions of concentrated wealth and power, does not require formal employment to align their actions or interests.
Trump’s alignment with Putin’s authoritarian model and policies beneficial to Russia could easily stem from overlapping class interests, ideological affinity, or even strategic manipulation (eg., blackmail or kompromat). These dynamics are more indicative of how imperialist powers operate than any need for formal employment. To focus on whether Trump receives a paycheck from Moscow is to obfuscate the larger systemic issues: the shared objectives of reactionary elites to consolidate power and suppress working-class movements.
Framing such alliances as conspiracies diverts attention from the deeper critique of capitalism and imperialism.
Jacobin: Why the Twitter Files Are in Fact a Big DealOn the Left, there’s been a temptation to dismiss the revelations about Twitter’s internal censorship system that have emerged from the so-called Twitter Files project. But that would be a mistake: the news is important and the details are alarming.
So glad Kermit the Frog’s included in the monthly men’s magazine as a part of your damning “proof”, just in case anyone gets bored and wants to take a break from the US State Department slop you’re serving
yes, normally that would be dumb and stupid… but guess what’s dumber and stupider? It’s entertaining this widely debunked copium, which is very much encapsulated with this dumb ad.
It doesn’t surprise me that you would write someone off as a conspiracy theorist, so I don’t take much issues with your opinion on that.
There is most certainly foreign issues imposing their will on the US, some are successful some are not. this is no different than another country, it’s how Geo-politics works.
When Trump meets with putin, both sides will try to impose there policies on each other.
Then there is the darker side of this with foreign propaganda being injected into things like social media to influence the opinion of the general public.
You don’t understand that the USA is the global hegemon. It does not get manipulated by other countries. It either manages to dominate or it does not. There is no scenario where other countries have the power they need to actually dominate the US domestically in any sphere.
The dominant producer of propaganda globally is the USA, both domestically and abroad. Not a single country on the planet has the networks, the apparatus, the number of people, and the continuous propaganda history that the USA has. No “foreign” actor has any chance of competing fully against US propaganda.

It can definitely be both.
No, it can’t. And it’s not.
How so?
There isnt any reason why it can’t be both, and in my opinion it very much is.
No. Trump is not employed by the Russian government and the idea he is is a conspiracy theory on par with pizzagate or birtherism.
Got any proof of that?
Because if not, then you’re pushing your own conspiracy theory on par with pizzagate or birtherism.
Trump is a known Russian asset.
Want more? There’s more.
America shit the bed, sure, absolutely. No disagreement here. This does not mean that we didn’t shit the bed with assistance.

“This article cannot be true because it contains an ad on the page” 🙄
Yes that’s very sane and reasonable of you

Telling that you intend Davel’s post absolutely destroying yours.
This might literally be the single stupidest attempt at a “no, U!” that anyone has ever done.

Ok, then I’m going to write you off as the mad conspiracy theorist that you are, no different to a QAnoner or a birtherist.
And no, there are not “foreign issues that as imposing there will on the US.”, that’s wild projection.
