It's fucking INSANE how effective these fucking gacha games are at marketing things nobody gives a fuck about. WHY do you give any shits at all about dead Japanese race horses? Because of anime bitches. Three years there's gonna be a gacha game about chemical companies n u guys are gonna be all "every time I drink a glass of water I get so happy imagining PFOA-chan entering my body and becoming a part of me" n blasting creamy ribbons across EPA contamination reports.

average us republican bill: The 'Powerful Angel Blessed Love Peace And Smiling Babies Bill' provides 1 trillion dollars in funding for death camps and makes it a felony offense to cast satanic curses on soccer moms. voted in by every republican and john fetterman

average us democratic bill: The 'Affordable Sensible Moderation And Financing Bill' gives multinational corporations a 3% tax cut for buying carbon credits from tesla and allows the Senate Budget Analysis Comittee to convene biyearly on whether shutting orphan crushing plants could reduce the deficit. fails in the senate because joe manchin refuses to vote for it

average us bipartisan bill: The 'Security of Our Defensive Homeland Safety and Securtiy Act' gives the president a big red button that kills a hundred brown people at random every time it's pressed. if you complain about the button the FBI come to your house. passes the senate 99-0

I missed most of the Iraq war due to being a baby, but every time I read about it I start wondering why we aren’t all talking about it all of the time

[caesarsaladinn]

it feels like the sort of unforced error that should be obsessively postmortemed for the next fifty years, a catastrophe that should utterly delegitimize the society that made it happen, but instead everybody’s like “oh yeah, that. lmao, that was crazy”

I have to add to this because I was teaching a text about this topic to a bunch of post-2003 undergraduates recently and each time I do so I experience the same sense of disorientation.

This is a war about which the accepted, mainstream consensus is that no one is able to explain the U.S. decision to invade Iraq. The people involved in that decision are unable, in retrospect, to explain or justify it. In almost every postmortem of this decision, you will find some reference to the fact that Richard Haass, who advised Colin Powell at the State Department in 2001-3, has said that he “will go to [his] grave not knowing” why the U.S. invaded Iraq. George Packer, in The Assassins’ Gate, describes the invasion as “something that some people wanted to do.”

This is a war that destroyed a country. It created ISIS. It destabilized the Middle East. It killed a minimum of c. 200,000 people. It displaced millions more. It resulted in devastating losses to the cultural heritage of Iraq. And twenty years on, no one is able to explain why it happened.

It seems to me that there are several important lessons here.

I feel like this response is kind of hiding the ball on the motives to invade Iraq. The reason for invading Iraq was simple: the Bush administration believed in expanding U.S. global hegemony. The reason that some of them, post facto, have decided that "no one knows" why we did it is because that's less humiliating than admitting the reality, which is that they flagrantly lied to the public in the interest of starting a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people, resulted in the torture of countless POWs, destroyed the country of Iraq, created ISIS, and didn't even accomplish the goal of expanding American hegemony, which was not even a good idea in the first place

The entitlement of US Vietnam vets is so fucking wild because, like, on top of everything else they lost the war! These people will stand tall and demand you recognize the “sacrifices” they made for your “freedom,” as though they didn’t suffer a humiliating military defeat. Talk about participation trophies!

[marxistlesbianist]

The nature of service work in the US is that someone will frequently walk up to you and say “Hello, I shot every Vietnamese child I could see and still lost the war. Please give me everything for free now? 🥺” and if you do the decent thing and tell them to kill themselves you get fired
