This “Foundation for the Defense of Democracies” sure has some strong opinions about how one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world can maintain influence in Washington. Very strange. Image
“Like a normalisation agreement with Israel.” Just spitballing here guys, putting it out there.
Look at all the cool weapons UAE got, guys! That could be you too. Image

New report from the US gov on gender equality in Afghanistan. What are we still doing in Afghanistan, you ask? US has spent $787 million on gender programs, not including gender included in other programs. Hope to challenge stereotypes and patriarchy 1/n usip.org/sites/default/… ImageImage
Report begins with a map, gives you lay of the land, so you know all the provinces you have to control in order to overthrow the patriarchy. 2/n Image
"There is no Dari or Pashto word for the terms 'gender' and 'gender equality.'...Afghans often simply use the English word without any translation."

Obviously, the US will need to help change the language, maybe introduce new pronouns to accomplish its mission. 3/n Image

How good a politician is Joe Biden? He's the president and conservatives seem to barely think about him at all. CPAC is more focused on taking down Hillary Clinton, the failed 2016 nominee. I've never heard the phrase "Biden derangement syndrome."
Pelosi toilet paper selling well at CPAC. This article based on interviews with CPAC attendees doesn't mention Biden's name once. nytimes.com/2021/02/28/us/… Image
The PC crowd is unbearable, but they aren't always wrong! You have to be blind not to notice a pattern where Obama, Hillary, and Pelosi get all the hate while Schumer and Biden barely get any.

WOAH, @jasonintrator belongs to SIX WHOLE DEPARTMENTS.

That's how he comes up with original insights like Trump is a fascist! If he had only been in 5 departments, he would've called him Hitler, but the sixth gave his thought real depth so he saw the resemblance to Mussolini.
Decided to get Stanley's book. Look at this work of art this once in a lifetime genius produced! Front cover has Germans giving the Nazi salute! What a perfect analogy to the present day! I heard they divided the world into US and THEM. Mind blown!
Look at these chapters! Fascists are anti-intellectual, totally hung up about sex, look back to a mythic past. Where else can you find these arguments? Arbeit Macht Frei! He knows German too! Is that one of his departments?

I’ve been paying attention to Afghanistan over the duration of the war. I still find stuff I missed that shocks me. In 2011, while the US “surged”, at a military hospital injured soldiers starved to death because doctors and nurses demanded bribes for food online.wsj.com/article/SB1000…
“Da­wood is the pre­mier hos­pi­tal of the Afghan se­cu­rity forces, akin to the Wal­ter Reed Army Med­ical Cen­ter in the U.S.” The Taliban may have unenlightened views on women, but wouldn’t have survived against the world for 20 years if they behaved like this.
The US tried to get the Surgeon General to do something about pharmaceuticals being stolen, came to suspect he was in on it. Image

On Amazon book banning. Early 2019 was the first time they banned any books, of course starting with the far right. I saw this as a dangerous precedent, made some effort to try to organize an open letter, all "free speech activists" were too scared. truthout.org/articles/after…
The ACLU stood up for literal Nazis back in the day. Today's free speech movement will not, it will ignore every infringement on free speech until the exact moment it gets to them. Now the line is "What about Mein Kampf?" It'll probably end with them banning that too. ImageImage
Liberals censor conservatives. Conservatives retaliate by cancelling Hitler. Like when they started calling for Khamenei to be kicked off Twitter after Trump.

Looking over the CPAC roster, mostly predictable nonsense. I noticed two foreign politicians though. They both look like generic GOP congressmen put through an Asian filter, and are distinguished by their focus on China. One appears to be the Lin Wood of Korea.
Of course, it wouldn't be a conservative event without Gordon Chang telling them about the coming collapse of China. cpac.conservative.org/speaker/gordon…
Shows what a priority anti-China propaganda is. There are no other foreign politicians there. They really had to go out of their way to find these figures, with the Korean guy in particular they appear to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. This generation's neo-cons, same scam
