I remember we learned about Rosevelt’s whole “speak softly and carry a big stick” approach to foreign policy as like a morally neutral political tactic and not like. Hey guys does anyone else think it’s fucking like… maniacal how the us established and asserts its global power under threat of brutal military violence that only gets more and more dystopian as technology advances

everything I learned in history classes in grade school was essentially fundamentally useless propaganda it’s actually like really depressing when you think about it. Us history? Whitewashed, nationalist, colonial apologia, etc. world history was just rehashed red scare narratives and minimizing imperialist evils. Even when it was critical of us policy it was so gentle about it and like ohhh it’s so sad that the us was founded on genocide. Anyways George Washington was really cool

I will just say anything at this point. Or not even say it but the sentence will form in my head. Saying words recreationally as was famously said

It’s just crazy that you will have Israel commit genocide in full public view against a population it has been trying to expel or eliminate for decades and white people have such a deeply ingrained West Is Best mindset that they still think Israel is vital to peace in west Asia because of like democracy or whatever, which those backwards orientals simply cannot comprehend of course. But iran is the one destabilizing the region

AHEAD OF THE United Nations Security Council action to consider the Palestinian Authority’s application to become a full member of the international body, the United States is lobbying nations to reject such membership, hoping to avoid an overt “veto” by Washington. The lobbying effort, revealed in copies of unclassified State Department cables obtained by The Intercept, is at odds with the Biden administration’s pledge to fully support a two-state solution. In 2012, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution granting Palestine the status of a non-member observer state. The diplomatic cables detail pressure being applied to members of the Security Council, including Malta, the rotating president of the council this month. Ecuador in particular is being asked to lobby Malta and other nations, including France, to oppose U.N. recognition. The State Department’s justification is that normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states is the fastest and most effective way to achieve an enduring and productive statehood. While clarifying that President Joe Biden has worked vigorously to support “Palestinian aspirations for statehood” within the context “of a comprehensive peace that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” a diplomatic cable dated April 12 details U.S. talking points against a U.N. vote for Palestinian statehood. The cable says that Security Council members must be persuaded to reject any proposal for Palestinian statehood — and thereby its recognition as a sovereign nation — before the council’s open debate on the Middle East, scheduled for April 18. “It remains the U.S. view that the most expeditious path toward a political horizon for the Palestinian people is in the context of a normalization agreement between Israel and its neighbors,” the cable reads. “We believe this approach can tangibly advance Palestinian goals in a meaningful and enduring way.” “We therefore urge you not to support any potential Security Council resolution recommending the admission of ‘Palestine’ as a U.N. member state, should such a resolution be presented to the Security Council for a decision in the coming days and weeks.”

Gooning sounds too reddity or 4channy to me. It’s like fapping but only mildly less grating
