We really didn’t need any more #evidence that #Florida Gov. Wrong #DeSantis and the Florida Board of #Education’s war on “#wokeness” is actually only about assuaging white guilt and lying on behalf of #American #jingoism. But if we did need more evidence, we needn’t look any further than Florida’s approval of new standards for how #BlackHistory should be taught in the state’s #publicSchools.

It's an obscene perversion that the military/ army is an advertiser/financial supporter of the NCAA, the final four, the NBA, the NFL and any organization that influences young and poor Americans with limited options to die/fight for capitalism.

Now, I for one detest Imperialism, but I have a great deal of sympathy with Jingoism. And there seemed something so touching about this unbroken and innocent bragging... It is so obvious and so jolly to be optimistic about England, especially when you are an optimist—and an Englishman.

@Mithfear debunked.

'In the Swedish government’s budget draft, military spending will grow by $800 million in 2023 alone. The money will include a significant amount for increasing military personnel. This fall, Stockholm’s major subway stations were filled with advertisements to join the Swedish Defense Force. The budget also includes new money for cyber-defense, intelligence and new armaments.'

This is the liberal/progressive rag. No wonder their people are always keen on going to war and bombing hopeless civilians

The sad truth is?
They killed nothing.
#Brexit was never, NEVER going to present tangible benefits not economic growth.
It was an act of #economic #SelfImmolation based upon #EuroSceptic #Jingoism and inflated notion of #Britain's place and power in the 21st century world

Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt killed the dream of any Brexit dividend https://mol.im/a/11445479 via @MailOnline@twitter.com

I’d be grateful for any #radicalteacher takes in #veteransday. I don’t hate veterans (though it’s difficult to understand why anyone would have enlisted in, say, the last half century), but I do hate #jingoism and #militarism.

*Welcome* to #China in 2022, the year that Mao 2.0 #XiJinping is looking for a third term as ruler and head of the #CCP.
A country where posing #cosplay-style in a #kimono is seen as a serious insult of all things relating to #China, leading to the arrest and hours-long questioning of a young woman on #Suzhou.
Seriously: Grow a pair, #China, your insecurity and fragility is utterly laughable, whereas the #jingoism and hatred against #Japan are frightening.
#FuckTheCCP

In the second quarter of 2019, the #economy in #GreatBritain shrank by 0.2 percents. This is the first decrease since 2012. And this goes to show that the #insecurity caused by #Brexit and the related shambles are toxic for the economy, keeping key players from investing. #jingoism, such a great thing.
