“The Last Time A Foreign Military Threat Was Placed Near The US Border, The World Almost Ended”

via Caitlin #Johnstone on @substack

“To demand that #Russia and #China tolerate foreign activities on their borders that the #US would never even think about tolerating on its own borders is just demanding that the entire world lie down and submit to being ruled by #Washington. It’s #American #supremacism at its worst.

Saying the US empire gets to do extremely aggressive things to other nations but those other nations aren’t allowed to do those same things to them is just saying you think the US rules the world.

You’re saying it plays by different rules, because it’s in charge of the planet. You’re saying the US empire has a monopoly on military aggression in the same way the police in your society have a monopoly on violence. They’re allowed to act with extreme aggression on the borders of Russia and China for the same reasons that a police officer can legally tase you, but you can’t legally tase a police officer.”

“Looming over this fallout is the basic malaise that America’s #racism is deep, wide, and generations old, says the critic and scholar Robert Storr, who is scathing about what he sees as the lack of foresight involved in the decision. Guston was challenging white liberalism, Storr says, and was basically asserting that all white people can be Klansmen and that anybody in white society could be complicit with the crime of #white #supremacism.” Pt 3 https://news.artnet.com/art-world/censored-art-today-excerpt-2233189

One of the best things about freeing #Palestine from the River to the Sea is that, other than what the #Zionist #propaganda claims, nothing needs to be "destroyed" except, of course, that #racism and #supremacism fueled #hate (and everything that comes from it) which made the bloody mess possible in the first place – hardly a loss to the sane mind …

Fantastic article (and I agree with all of it).

@StevePeers
It’s really tricky isn’t it. I can see arguments on all sides by my overall feeling is that ultimately it becomes #ableism, #elitism, or #supremacism - whether male, white or both - to hide the difficulties & discrimination that some suffer behind a wrapper! Maybe those who don’t suffer from these worries, indignities or injustices are precisely the ones who should see them? I speak as one whose has suffered #MeToo #racism & could easily trauma-trigger

@Sultans_Seal @r_mccormack @martinb It is, but it would be fair to say that the ensuing carve up of Africa and wholesale plunder and geo-political manipulation of non-European resources for lucre not to mention the exponential capitalisation on colonial rule and slavery which lead to an astonishing proliferation of #Supremacism and #Racism to protect these ill-gotten gains, then became *the system of belief* under which every European was raised.. 😒😞
