Someone said to google operation northwoods
The reply to that was “delusions of grandeur”
What is wrong with these people
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the way the CIA and the other three letter agencies managed to separate themselves from the concept of the secret police. Like the content of everything from 24 to the Marvel movies to the Call of Duty games frames them as only really activating to stop existential threats to the country so you get this weird incredulity when you bring up the idea that secret police are, well, police. They do a lot of dumb, pointless seeming stuff to people who aren’t a real threat.
The whole idea is they are enforcers on the normal people who step out of line in some way that isn’t actually illegal. Not to be the final boss if @moretankiemorespankie69 is about to use the giant blue laser to destroy downtown.
“Libertarian socialist” according to yanks: “I hate the poor but I’m not racist and am poor too”
Honestly that’s become one of the most confusing descriptors because it can mean anything from anarchist to Chomsky to weird idiot chud.
It basically never means someone like Chomsky anymore. In fact I’m amazed we haven’t seen a “Chomsky is a tankie” take yet.
in my post-lolbertarian days i used it or left/leftist libertarian as something like anarcho-communist-lite. basically minimal government only existing to supress capitalism/provide social services. it made no fucking sense at all and lacked any grounding in reality or theory.
