“I am not afraid to die,” Oleksandr added. “My biggest fear is to be captured and experience torture.”

That’s what you can call “blowback”

Remember how the first excuse was “they were in asia”

Cops will never defect. The US army will go red before the NYPD.

That’s not even the cocaine revenues the CIA keeps off the books. Probably another hundred billy there too used to fund American proxies.

“Most transparent” didn’t they literally lose track of $2 trillion when they finally started doing audits?

With the cacophony of tormented wails of people forced to take Ubers out of fear that something might happen, you can barely hear the Palestinian children under the rubble of their homes.

What the fuck are you eating that it is hardened onto your porcelain?

Or are you letting them sit there overnight sitting in the sink letting the grease from your burger diet congeal?

It takes no more than 10 seconds to wash a plate.

And scrubbing plates definitely isn’t easier than picking them up and putting them down somewhere else.

The thing is that you don’t really have to scrub them. Most of the time it’s like wipe wipe rinse which isn’t slower.

If you have something like baked on that actually requires scrubbing then yeah sure a dishwasher is easier but for plates and forks it’s just like wipe wipe a bit and rinse.

Plates are easier and faster to do by hand.

Dishwashing rules for like the tray you used to cook lasagna but plates and cutlery, by the time you rinse them and stack them they’d be done.

Personally I think the main appeal is that it allows you a special place to stack the used plates like a 20 year bachelor but made respectable. Pure ideology.

Their demand is divestment?

The school sent in snipers because they would have to reallocate some investments?

with an annual gross salary of about US$2,000

I can’t even imagine how they manage to eat

What is the general ideology of the political elite?

White supremacism that ranges from a conviction that ranges in form between the belief that cultural whiteness and Anglo social norms are inherently superior, commonplace support for and the comfortable acceptance of the de facto existence of racial segregation, and overt white supremacism;

A desire for racial segregation and the strict categorization of people into arbitrary and socially constructed racial groups that focuses on who belongs within and who is excluded from the “white” group, with the boundaries between those groups being strictly defined, albeit by arbitrary and frequently downright illogical rules that have been socially agreed upon by the dominant white group;

Neoliberalism, being the belief that society is best run as a largely private matter by a group of its most wealthy individuals, making the dominant political structure of the country a networked group of economic silos. This system differs from traditional European power structures that we could vaguely call agrarian feudalism only really due to industrialization and thus the emergence of capitalism. As land ceased to be the most important economic resource (approx 1800-1850), ownership of land ceased to be the source of power. The difference this means for neoliberalism compared to feudalism is that now the hereditary elite mostly exercise control over the industrial modes of production rather than strictly the agrarian modes, detaching the elite from a land-based nobility to instead become a financial oligarchy that is even more strictly hereditary in practice than feudalism;

The idea of “American Exceptionalism”, which is a particularly extreme example of jingoistic nationalism. Essentially the belief that America is inherently good, which it entails that its actions must be good in a definitional sense or at least selfless, and therefore that whatever America does is justified or excusable. A peculiar fusion of religious notions of destiny, fate, being appointed or “chosen” by god, combined directly and freely with elements of secular ideologies and economic power hierarchies such as militarism, colonialism, capitalism, and nationalism. Particular emphasis is placed on indoctrinating the young with this quasi-religious state ideology, particularly among the dominant white race. This state ideology infuses the culture being attached to all aspects of life such a sporting events, the culture overwhelming majority film and media including children’s cartoons, even casual everyday activities such as purchasing groceries is often infused with a socially required deification of state militarism as a virtuous and inherently good activity. Paradoxically there is widespread agreement that many or even almost all examples of US interventionism and colonialism are bad, this constant stream of horrific violence is framed as somehow aberrant. The quasi-religious notion of American Exceptionalism, of America being somehow a chosen nation, holds that because goodness is assigned to America, the factual material reality of the world doesn’t challenge this notion, which in effect deifies presidents and their actions as the personification of the quasi-devine state;

Just as Exceptionalism justifies or exculpates the state for imperialism and violence, the concept of moral goodness as moral “worth” is conflated with financial success and economic worth, justifying the privileges and actions of the ruling elite as well as freeing them of almost any consequences or accountability for their actions;

Do they tend to be protectionist nationalists, or are they more free trade globalists?

They strongly tend to be protectionist nationalists with domestic production heavily defended from international competition with trade barriers, economic subsidies, demands for unequal or unfair trade agreements, or often even outright colonial imperialism to subjugate foreign production for the profit of the ruling elite, as well as neo-colonialism that used modern financial structures to give the ruling elite economic ownership, often by enlisting the foreign comprador economic elites to act as a colony of the US elites and the use of military force to destroy or contain economic systems that resist such a neo-colonial relationship.

Are they compradors put there by foreign powers?

Technically, no.

Are they socialists with wide support by the population?

Not one.

1. Obviously he was killed because obviously Putin wanted to kill him
2. Putin didn’t kill him
3. But we already established he was obviously murdered. You can’t go back to step 1 we are already at step 3

US elites ensuring Ivy League colleges and their liberal and US exceptionalist sensibilities lie at the center of the anti-genocide protests.

It’s a closed loop.
