All you dipshits who called me a Trump apologist for saying there would be no "coup" can go ahead and apologize now.
The only people who thought Trump would put up any meaningful fight were those who think he's Literal Hitler and those who think he's Literal Jesus.
Oh so he's still doing a coup but he can't control his own Twitter account. That makes sense.
He played golf and tweeted.

Oligarchic imperialism is the new dominant world religion. It's the scripture everyone reads. It's what forms our culture. It's what holy wars are fought over. It's what terrorism is committed for. It's what power is built around. It's what you're branded a heretic for rejecting.
Oligarchic imperialism is the new dominant world religion. Instead of reading the Bible adherents read The Guardian. Instead of going to church they see Hollywood movies. Instead of fighting a crusade they drop bombs. Instead of burning heretics they deplatform anti-imperialists.
Oligarchic imperialism is the new dominant world religion. It's just as fake as all other religions, just as power-serving as all other religions, and just as dependent on belief in insubstantial narrative constructs as all other religions. An old dynamic adapted for a new world.

This Is Your Brain On Echo Chambers: Right Calls Biden A Xi Puppet As He Packs His Cabinet With China Hawks

"Whenever someone tells you that a US president is going to be 'soft' on a nation the US government has marked as an enemy, you are being played."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/this-is-your…
This is your brain. This is your brain on echo chambers.
Prior to the US election I wrote a couple of articles saying that if Biden wins he will be attacked by the right as a Xi Jinping puppet even as he escalates dangerous cold war aggressions with China.

Still getting dopey wingnuts in my mentions claiming Biden is going to bend the knee to China, even as he packs his administration full of virulent anti-China hawks. This is your brain on media echo chambers.
You shouldn't be worried about your government being too nice to China. You should be worried about your government ramping up a world-threatening multi-front cold war against two powerful nuclear-armed nations for the first time in human history.
Anyone who tells you a US president is going to be "soft" on a nation with which the US is actively in conflict, you are being played. Aways, always, always, always. It's just people manipulating you away from your natural, healthy inclination toward peace.

Surprise! America Is Getting Another Psycho For Secretary Of State

"Blinken is a liberal interventionist who has supported all of the most disgusting acts of US mass military slaughter this millennium, including the Iraq invasion"
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/surprise-ame…
Did you know the US Department of Defense used to be called the Department of War? It would be a much more honest label today for a military which virtually never operates in any way that could be described as defensive. Even better would be the Department of Eternal War.
So in practice the US ended up with two war departments: the DoD and the State Department. Which is why Secretaries of State are so jingoistic and psychopathic now, to the point where some sort of antisocial personality disorder is almost a job requirement for the position.

MSM Already Helping Next Administration Hide Corruption Under 'Diversity' Banner

There has never been a better time to be a woman, minority or member of the LGBT community who works in the DC establishment and thinks the poor should be made into pet food.
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/msm-already-…
The Times has published an article titled "Could Limiting Corporate Candidates Hurt Biden’s Diversity Push?", for the benefit of all those normal everyday readers who've been lying awake at night wondering if limiting corporate candidates might hurt Biden's diversity push.
NYT cites Paul Thornell of the influential DC lobbying firm Mehlman Castagnetti to warn us of the dangers of imperiling diversity by conceding too much to "the far left".

Australian War Crimes Report Means Get The Fuck Out Of Afghanistan

"There are no 'conditions' which need to be met first. You are the violent extremists in Afghanistan doing the killing and destroying. You are the terrorists. Leave."
caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/australian-w…
The much-anticipated report on potential war crimes by the ADF in Afghanistan has been released, recommending 19 current or former soldiers be investigated for up to 39 murders.
Not combat kills. Not accidental kills. Not non-combatants killed by disputable decisions made in the heat of battle. Not civilians killed due to recklessness or carelessness on the part of Australian forces. Murders.
