THREAD: I feel for John McCain's family/loved ones, but he was a public figure & presidential nominee now being lionized by the 99% out-of-touch, plutocrat-friendly corporate media. SO it's important 2 point out truth: McCain symbolized American imperialism and void of humanity..
The narrow and intentional valuing of American lives (mostly wealthy and white) & American business (mostly donors, i.e oligarchy) over the lives and humanity of Asian, Arab, and others across the globe that got in the way of our business, oil, & geopolitical might. McCain...
valued his fellow soldiers by refusing to be released as a POW without all his comrades, but could care less for the soldiers and innocent civilians of other countries that he was smart enough to know caused no imminent threat to U.S. citizens. He joked and laughed about...
"bomb, bomb, bomb" Iran; he called the Vietnamese terrible slurs even as in present day, we continue to see horrific images of disfigured and disembodies Vietnamese with charred faces from the chemicals WE released over them. Like Dick Cheney and Bush cronies, McCain knew Iraq..
had NOTHING to do with 9/11...but jumped at the chance to send the soldiers he claimed near and dear into a ground war over a LIE. Nearly 4,000 U.S. dead and hundreds of thousands dead/injured in Iraq. That's not heroism--that's imperialism. Few remember--McCain ran in 08 on...
increasing military actions against Iran, North Korea, and possibly even Syria (when we were already in Iraq and Afghanistan). He gaslight Obama (who ended up not being the dove he pretended to be) for the "inexperience" that shaped him wanting to leave Iraq. Overall, McCain..
was a beloved friend to defense contractors, big oil executives, big bankers, wealthy donors, and old men and veterans sitting on their porch fantasizing America as a beacon of freedom and humanity. He should be praised as a brave soldier and reported accurately as your typical..
Social Darwinist trying to further enrich people in his economic class while helping to murder and destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions in Asia and the Middle East.
