re: uspol ukraine / palestine
@trans_caracal horrifying state of affairsand media assholes always act like this is an organic developement as if billionaires aren't spending many many billions of dollars around the world fomenting xenophobia and racist conspiracy theories, while anyone advocating any alternative to either ruthless neoliberalism or outright fascism is completely sidelined and ignored.
The liberal politicians they look to the poll sand saw 'well the polls say people are moving to the right so we have to move to the right" as if polls / popular opinion are some independant variable, as if consensus isn't consciously constructed by media figures, politicians etc. in some cases politicians are naive and caught in the past, but in the case the the US Democrats i think they know exactly what the fuck they're doing and are direclty in the pocket of military contractors, private prisons etc.
