 Refusing to oppose U.S. tyranny is siding with it. Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. The U.S. and its allies are pushing the world toward nuclear armageddon. The U.S. and its allies armed al-Qaeda in Syria. The U.S. and its allies are carrying out a literal genocide in Yemen. The U.S. and its allies are starving children by the thousands deliberately. Shut up about Russia and China. Desmond Tutu said, If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. This is especially true of the unjust situation in which the largest power structure on earth oppresses and tyrannizes populations around the world to force their obedience. Refusing to take a clear stance against that power structure is siding with it. William Van Wagonen has a new article out with the Libertarian Institute documenting the mountains of evidence that the U.S. and its allies were supporting al-Qaeda-tied militias in Syria from the very beginning of the war. In direct contradiction of the mainstream narrative that started later. This is what happened in Syria. It's what happened in Libya. And it's what was on track to happen in Xinjiang before Beijing said nah and launched its crackdown. The West isn't mad at Beijing for committing a genocide. It's mad at Beijing for preventing one. Like so many other Western propaganda operations these days, this one is predominantly about China's Belt and Road Initiative, which it plans to use to help rise above U.S. hegemony and create a multipolar world. The actual interest in Xinjiang has been about the fact that it is a key geostrategic region that the Western Empire would greatly benefit from Balkanizing away from China so it can't fulfill the crucial role planned for it in the BRI. Yes, China's government is more authoritarian than yours in some ways. Also, you're being deceived about the things China's government does and the threat it poses to you by a massive sweeping propaganda campaign. Both of these things are true. They do not contradict each other. If somebody somehow managed to leak 100% of all classified information on all U.S. government malfeasants, it probably wouldn't have the effect you'd imagine. The mass media would either ignore it or spin it into obscurity and it would be quickly shuffled out of sight. We may be sure this is true because there's already more than enough publicly available information on U.S. government depravity to completely discredit all of its leading institutions. The reason that information hasn't caused uproar and unrest is because of narrative management. Propaganda is the ultimate enemy. The ultimate problem isn't access to information so much as the way that information is presented to the average citizen. That's why it's so important to attack and discredit the means of information presentation at mass scale whenever there's an opportunity. That is our real prison. You can understand why the U.S. political system refuses to bring Americans out of debt and impoverishment by imagining what would happen if it didn't. Ordinary people would use their new financial influence to create a system that serves them rather than a globe-spanning empire. In a system where money equals power, people would begin using their new economic power to change political and economic realities for their benefit. They'd begin working to divert wasteful war machine spending to themselves. The oligarchs who control both U.S. political parties can't have that. Money is power and power is relative, so those with lots of money are incentivized to keep as much money as possible for themselves to maximize their power. If everyone is king, then nobody is king. Echo chamber dynamics and cognitive biases are the uncrowned rulers of the human worldview. They shape our perceptions of what's happening in the world and tend to do so without ever even being noticed. That is why introspection and self-awareness are fundamental to understanding. The world is burning and psychopaths are brandishing Armageddon weapons in the name of global domination. If you are going to spend any of your remaining time on this planet fighting, it would probably be wise to spend it fighting for something that truly matters.
