This explains the disconnect between US voters & foreign policy.

Its a great map of the world though with NZ & the Pacific at the centre, rather than a smudge or omission on most Atlantic centred maps.

NZ is disappearing off the maps:

Tasmania, or as the NZ/Australia Federal campaigners call it, the South West Island, was left off John Oliver’s map in a segment on NZ being left off maps.

Aaron Banks bankrolled the Brexit campaign. The source of this money is opaque. He denied any business dealings with Russia. That has now been proven to be false.

This exchange is worth revisiting amidst obfuscating leadership from Corbyn on Brexit & Nationalist Hard Left anti-Semitism from UK Labour’s rump Executive machinery.

Alistair Campbell vs Owen Jones on the future of Labour:
@campbellclaret @owenjones84

NZ PM Jacinda Ardern offers a culturally grounded, Feminist, visionary Centre-Left, independent, empathetic & pragmatic model of progressive leadership, unburdened by class-based cultural identification & racist nationalism.

Attached is the official position of the official Brexit campaign. Vote Leave said UK would not even start the legal process to leave until we had negotiated an acceptable Brexit deal, let alone be days from leaving without having a clue about what kind of Brexit we will...
ultimately have. The government of @theresa_may has done the opposite of what Vote Leave told voters would be done. In a rational world this total disconnect between what voters were promised and the current chaos would matter. Some might question the legitimacy of the...
current Horlicks (if that is not to be too offensive to bedtime drinks). Thanks to @TheScepticIsle for reminding me of that Vote Leave promise. And please Vote Leave leaders, @michaelgove and @BorisJohnson, tell us how you rationalise what you said then with where we are now.

The true evil of the that awful car locking date tweet is the fact that the poster was SO deluded he though HE was the victim, bc the woman insulted his car, AND HE GOT 1000 FAVS AND DIDN'T EVEN GET RATIO'D!!! It was so flagrant.
It's frankly true leftists (or academia, or millennials or whatever) live in a bubble--everyone lives within a subculture & smol social network--but damn, I'm glad we do, lol, bc people outside the bubble fucking suck, lol.
Actually that's not true, most people are, by and large, 'decent' (tho decency isnt a protection against structural complicity and banal violence!!!!!!), but the big difference is what is tolerated and what isn't.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

"I really think that inadequate force projection in theaters of vital interest will create a bow wave inviting further deployments of gray zone tactics by near-peer competitors hoping to undermine the post-WWII liberal international order."
"But really, the Obama administration's refusal to enforce a red line on the use of chemical weapons set back American credibility a decade, based on my reading of New York Times articles regarding Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and a couple of FDD blog posts."
"The trouble is that greater burden-sharing with American allies and partners may lead us into the Thucydides trap, and only a naval force of at least 355 ships of varying littoral and railgun capabilities will be adequate to achieve full-spectrum dominance against China's A2AD."

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
