While Trump runs down the straightup Hitler rhetoric about "preserving & protecting Western Civilization," bloated with "America First" chauvinism... #FreeYourself from the Great Tautological Fallacy. #thread #FreeYourMind #TrumpInAsia
From childhood we’re indoctrinated with the notion that America is a Shining Light of Freedom & the President of the U.S. is the Leader of the “Free World.” #thread #FakeHistory #FakeNews
Is the U.S. a Shining Light of Freedom when millions of women are battered and huge numbers are raped every year? Is this a Shining Light to the world?? #MeToo #YesAllWomen
And what is this “Free World?” Does it include the countries where the U.S. has armed military juntas & other oppressive dictatorships w/bloodthirsty death squads terrorizing the people over the last 100 years & more, throughout Latin America and many other parts of the world??
Does the “Free World” include countries such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, & Turkey, all allies of the U.S. & all ruled by brutally repressive governments?? #FreeWorld
Does the “Free World” include Israel, a nuclear-armed state occupying Palestinian land in violation of UN resolutions, forcibly keeping over a million people in basically an open-air prison, barely surviving, subject to repeated bombing by Israeli Armed Forces?? #FreePalestine
Once you remove the Great Tautological Fallacy blinders, the “Free World” simply means places under the domination of or friendly to U.S. (no matter how monstrous their ruling class) while the “Non-Free World” = those posing opposition or obstacles to domination of U.S. Empire.
Is it a Shining Light of Freedom now when Black people have to say STOP KILLING US because the police kill a thousand people every year many of them unarmed especially Black people, Latinos & Native Americans?? #BlackLivesMatter
Was it a Shining Light during all the years of slavery or during the long years of Jim Crow segregation after the Civil War when thousands of Black people were lynched while leering mobs of white racists celebrated, and Black people as a whole were subjected to constant terror?
