the most joe biden thing ever notes from the edge of the narrative matrix a hostile military alliance expanding to russia's borders isn't a provocation sending weapons to be used by cia-trained fighters backed by us intelligence isn't a proxy war those nazis aren't nazis you're being censored for your own good trust the media the government is your friend so glad trump lost because otherwise roe v wade2/14
would be on the chopping block and immigrants would still be getting mistreated and the iran deal would still be dead and the military budget would keep inflating bastard would probably have us all on the brink of world war iii by now joe biden doing a live infomercial for javelin missiles while everyone who voted for him worries about women's reproductive rights is the most joe biden thing3/14
that has ever happened once you see that both mainstream us parties are part of a single oligarchic power structure it stops looking like a battle between opposing parties and looks more like one giant bully standing in front of voters saying let me hit you with my left fist or i'll hit you with my right what is the correct response when that happens what's the correct response4/14
when a mainstream political party keeps communicating that they'll never do anything to help you but you need to support them anyway or they'll let their friends in the other mainstream political party take away your rights is it to say ah well the left fist won't hurt as much so that's clearly the lesser evil or is it to take on an oppositional relationship with the tyrant who5/14
keeps punching you with both fists year after year learning about what's wrong with the world is like watching a marathon of shitty scooby-doo episodes from the 60s except it's way more repetitive and predictable and the villain under the mask is always the u.s empire western media keeps shrieking about russia's nuclear threats as though it was some kind of secret that russia will use nukes if it6/14
feels its existence is threatened and as though western powers wouldn't nuke russia for the exact same reason the only argument against the observation that the u.s nato ukraine power structure could easily have prevented this war with a few low-cost diplomatic concessions is actually putin would have invaded anyway because he is a cartoon supervillain who does evil things for no reason war is all the worst things7/14
that can happen to a person multiplied by the population you target when you refuse diplomacy you are condemning whole cities to unimaginable suffering nobody actually believes tankies are dangerous some people just have a deep psychological need for the us empire's fiercest critics to be wrong because it's more comfortable than considering the possibility that everything you've been taught about the world is a lie there's a lot8/14
in the news right now but none of it is as important as the fact that we're being shoved toward nuclear war for no good reason by a few idiots who want to rule the world again the real risk of nuclear war is not that any side will deliberately start one but that the explicit agreement in mutually assured destruction will be set into motion by a nuke9/14
being deployed by accident miscommunication miscalculation or malfunction as things escalate during the last cold war such accidental nuclear exchanges came all too close to happening multiple times the more tense the nuclear standoff gets the greater the likelihood of such an event occurring we survived the last cold war not by skill or by competence but by sheer dumb luck there is no logical reason to assume we'll10/14
get lucky again so yeah just so we're clear the u.s empire is rapidly restructuring the systems people look to for information about the world in order to ensure iron-fisted control over our dominant narratives while it scrambles to subvert its rivals in cold war maneuverings and secure unipolar planetary hegemony the primary purpose of expanding censorship and propaganda on subjects like ukraine russia covid extremism etc is not11/14
to control the narratives about those subjects specifically but to expand and normalize censorship and propaganda narrative control is an end in itself and it's the absolute highest priority because all the empire's power is built upon it few seem to really understand that the oligarchic empire seeks narrative control as an end in itself they're not always necessarily increasing censorship and propaganda about a given topic because of12/14
that topic often mainly because they want to normalize and expand censorship and propaganda certainly there are narratives right here and now that the empire would rather we believe but that is of secondary strategic importance to ensuring ongoing and continually expanding control over all narratives around the world into the future not all powerful people support the same narratives but all powerful people seek narrative control narrative control13/14
is power any manipulator understands this from the most powerful oligarchs right down to the narcissistic gossip queen at the office any manipulator on any level spends an extraordinary amount of time working to dominate the stories people tell about them and about others this is because they know humans are storytelling creatures and if you can control the stories they tell you control the humans this is most14/14
especially true of the globe spanning power structure loosely centralized around the united states its narrative control via corporate news media hollywood and silicon valley is completely unparalleled and historically unprecedented censorship propaganda and silicon valley algorithm manipulation are just different aspects of narrative control nobody does this as well as the u.s centralized empire and its managers nobody ever has you
