We love to play the “Obama/Biden were the good ones, they knew how to bomb people and sanction countries ethically” game.
For all Trump’s poison, he was dead to rights on the idea of the Deep State - the core bureaucracy of the US government that demands global hegemony and just can’t decide how to achieve it.
Trump’s been miserable at executing hegemony the liberal way. And we’re expected to believe this will make his administration a failure.
But then you look at fascist Middle Eastern states expanding their territory, South American dictatorships sprouting like weeds, and far-right parties gaining ground all over Europe. Hard to ignore that Palantir is doing just fine. White Nationalists are having a heyday from Texas to Tel Aviv.
Clearly, US hegemony is expanding, just not in the way the Clinton/Cheney neocons imagined it.
Corporate Media can’t seem to decided whether we’re undergoing a fascist takeover or finally Making America Great Again.
I dread to read what the history books say about our country in another ten years, knowing what kind of fucked up AI is writing them today.
I was gonna say, only now? I’m in the US and can see it’s been a bad actor since at least the end of WW2.
