uk to swap out top sociopath for a different sociopath notes from the edge of the narrative matrix boris johnson resigning would only be interesting in an alternate universe where there was some remote chance that he won't be replaced by another depraved sociopath remember when rich people were so worried about jeremy corbyn raising their taxes that they spent months pretending to believe he was a closet nazi
they really committed to the bit too you weren't even allowed to call it a bit because they'd start calling you a nazi for defending a nazi it was wild one use narrative manipulation to divide the population into a roughly 50 50 ideological split two ensure you control both of those factions three convince everyone that the only reason nothing changes is because their half of the population
doesn't win enough elections everyone's pulling on a rope that doesn't lead anywhere and doesn't do anything convinced by powerful manipulators that they're engaged in a life or death tug of war match of existential importance meanwhile the powerful just do as they like completely indifferent to that spectacle and its back and forth exchanges a group is artificially split into two sides and told to pull a rope
in opposite directions while someone else stands back and shoots them with a bb gun when they complain about the welts they're told it's happening because their side isn't pulling hard enough but really they'd be getting shot no matter what they did this doesn't mean give up it just means give up on the fake tug of war game if you're playing tug of war while someone rummages
through your handbag looking for cash the first step to stopping them is putting down the rope and going after them it's like if everyone was pushing on a fake fire escape in a burning building the first step to getting them out of there is showing them that the door is just painted on the wall and doesn't lead anywhere that's not telling them to give up hope
it's just telling them to give up on an ineffective strategy every claim the western rules-based international order makes about itself and its values has been discredited by the persecution of julian assange current u.s and nato proxy warfare in ukraine isn't sufficient to defeat russia or even to stop putin from continuing to capture territory in eastern ukraine all it's sufficient for is making the war costly for
moscow while ukrainians keep dying that's because this is exactly what the empire wants i care about ukrainians so i support a negotiated settlement is a morally coherent position i care about ukrainians so i support direct hot war with russia is also morally coherent if insane i care about ukrainians so let's keep doing what we've been doing is not morally coherent at all it makes sense to
support a negotiated peace settlement if you want to save ukrainian lives in a twisted deranged sense it also makes sense to support direct nato intervention against russia to save ukrainian lives but continuing with the current plan clearly does not make any sense as a strategy for saving ukrainian lives because it just keeps getting them killed i of course point this out not to advocate a third
world war but to show that the western empire does not care about ukrainian lives and isn't doing anything that it claims to be doing with its proxy warfare in that country if the empire cared even the slightest wit about ukrainian lives it would be drastically changing its approach one way or the other the fact that it's just maintaining the status quo of continuous death is their
confession that they only care about grand chessboard maneuverings for global control not the actual people who are fighting and dying one funny thing about twitter is that the target audience for most posts made by blue czech journalists and pundits is not their followers but other blue check journalists and pundits western news media is just one big circle jerk of boot-looking seeking validation from other boot-licking that's
why so many of their tweets get so little traction but they'll still have one or two blue ticks chuckling at their esoteric witticisms and obscure references in their replies it's because they're tweeting for each other not for normal people and that's how the entire profession works the pulitzers are just a bunch of propagandists giving each other trophies and assuring each other they're doing brave and important
work meanwhile the public just gets more and more disgusted with them but they don't care because their validation doesn't come from the public they complain that they don't get enough respect when in reality they get far too much absolutely the worst people on earth a bunch of worthless simpering sycophants the whole lot of them you
