Okay I know accessibility devices are never one-size-fits-all and that there’s a use case for these somewhere, but I can’t stop imagining trying to talk to someone at a party and they look at you and move the level down a few ticks

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.

argumate

hmm plenty of people can explain why it happened, because they described their rationale for it back in the '90s, when the first Iraq War was called before without deposing Saddam Hussein and [ushering in a new wave of democracy across the Middle East somehow].

like the reasons were dumb and stupid and obviously flawed but they were based on the idea that war was 1) winnable and 2) worth it.

jadeharleyinc

i will always take the opportunity to mention this:

beyond any economic, cultural and oil-related motivations, George W. Bush's decision to invade Iraq was literally motivated by religious apocalypse prophecy reasons.

like he was deep into this shit. in a meeting with Jacques Chirac, the French president at the time, he casually went "we're fighting Gog and Magog in the Middle East, the Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled. as a fellow Christian you're going to help us invade Iraq and trigger the Rapture, right?". understandably, Chirac had to call an Old Testament expert theologian to understand what the absolute fuck Bush was talking about.

of course, none of this sprang fully formed from the ether. Reagan had already invoked the same prophecies against foul, "communistic and atheistic" Russia, and was convinced that America had to be ready to fight in Armageddon. the general trend of comparing the USA's enemies to the prophesied armies attacking Israel during Armageddon is over a century old at this point, and follows a similar sentiment long held in the British Empire (first it was the Goths, then the Ottoman Turks, then Napoleon, then the Russian Empire...)

and of course, none of this disappeared into the ether after Iraq, either. all this stuff naturally ties into the USA's support for Israel. for these apocalypse prophecies to happen and Christ to return, Israel must fall, which means it must exist. hence the significant fundamentalist evangelical American Christian support for Israel.

that's right: in a farcical mirror of QAnon theories about Deep State satanic cults, there is an actual literal apocalypse cult in America whose influence once reached all the way to the actual literal president, at least twice, and which continues to this day.

so whenever you're asking "why the fuck is the USA trying to destabilize the Middle East again??" the answer almost always includes, in no small part, "also they want to any% speedrun the end of the world in a way that forces the Eternal Kingdom of the Christian God to spawn".

Tony Stark is an obnoxious character obviously written by straight men who have know idea what a charming man is like, and he is also bourgeoisie scum who deserves the rusty blade of a guillotine.
