On Dilan

I came across Dilan when he tweeted about voting, which I quoted in On Voting.

But he makes some good points very succinctly, so I'm saving

I bet you $768,000,000,000 that the United States can afford Medicare for All.

Imagine thinking a nation founded on Native genocide and the backs of slaves was ever the moral authority of the world.

so “Anonymous” is clearly a US Intelligence operation disguised as a non-state entity right

maybe it has been co-opted and there are some groups that aren’t idk, seems like pretty much any hacker group can associate itself w it

reading about some of their earlier work I don’t want to paint with a broad brush, but definitely some fed elements currently

ever get the feeling Nazis actually won the war

(image reply showing Nazis and their future positions) Wernher von Braun - Head of NASA

Walter Hallstein - Head of EU Commission

Adolf Heusinger - NATO's Chief of Staff

Kurt Waldheim - Secretary General of the United Nations

This tweet has some solid replies that recommend The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government by David Talbot and Blowback: America's Recruitment of Nazis and Its Destructive Impact on Our Domestic and Foreign Policy by Christopher Simpson. Though the USSR did a good job defeating the Nazis, many of them were well received by capitalist nations.

Zelenskyy really said he’s going to use Israel as a template for Ukraine. How can anyone who stands with Palestinians see that as anything other than a giant red flag?

they literally just moved the money laundering scheme from Afghanistan to Ukraine.

so the united states is systematically allowing public water systems to fail to justify privatizing it so corporations like nestle can reap the profit right

crazy how the sitting president literally exploited 9/11 to manufacture consent to invade a country that had nothing to do with it, setting in motion a multi-decade global “war on terror” where millions were killed for corporate profit, yet somehow that doesn’t qualify as fascist

and he’s trying to sentence a journalist, Julian Assange, to multiple lifetimes in prison for publishing evidence of war crimes done in these wars. but yea totally not a fascist just grandpa biden who loves ice cream

a bit weird how anytime somebody makes the mere suggestion that biden is fascistic suddenly people come in running interference. probably nothing

Cuba just codified lgbtq rights, meanwhile in the United States the party in power is holding lgbtq rights hostage “until after midterms” to coerce people to vote for them.

like abortion rights, dems have had ample opportunities to codify gay marriage, but they’d rather use it as a govt strategy.

so let me get this straight. the US fomented revolt in Ukraine, installed a nazi-aligned regime that systematically erased Russian culture and killed people of the Donbas for 8 yrs, all to goad Putin into a hostile position for pretext to weaken/coup Russia? that right?

also hand in glove, billions laundered to the military industrial complex in the process.

those who have seen events that took place, leak of Nuland’s call, statements by US officials over years (including Biden himself) - know this to be the case, but many who pretend otherwise only do because they’re chauvinists who think US is moral authority of the world.
