Abdul El-Sayed was born in America. Melania Trump immigrated years later. It's amazing how selective some people are about who they call "real Americans."

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The word "escalation" is one of the most dishonest words in the imperial vocabulary.

It never means: the powerful did something and the less powerful responded.

It always means: the less powerful did something and we are now considering our options.

Israel bombs Gaza for seventeen years. Blockades it. Starves it. Controls its airspace, its coastline, its water.

That is called security management.

A rocket fired from the rubble in response is called escalation.

America stations carrier groups off the coast of countries it has sanctioned into poverty, funds their opposition movements, assassinates their military commanders.

That is called deterrence.

The moment the sanctioned country develops a missile that can reach the carrier group, that is called provocation.

The word "escalation" does not describe an action.

It describes who performed the action.

When the empire does it:

Management.
Order.
Reluctant necessity.

When anyone else does it:

Escalation.
Aggression.
Proof of barbarism.

The word is not a description of events.

It is a verdict on the actor.

And the verdict was always written before the events occurred.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

There is a reason the most sanctioned, bombed, isolated, and encircled countries on earth are described in Western media primarily through the suffering of their populations.

Not as a form of compassion.

As a form of argument.

The North Korean people are starving. The Iranian people are oppressed. The Venezuelan people are suffering. The Cuban people are poor.

The implicit conclusion, never quite stated, always clearly implied:

And therefore the sanctions are working.
And therefore the pressure should be maintained.
And therefore the government should be changed.

The suffering of the population is cited as the justification for the policies that produce the suffering.

This is a closed loop of extraordinary cynicism.

Starve the population.
Point to their starvation.
Use it as evidence that the government is illegitimate.
Tighten the strangulation.
Point to the increased starvation.
Argue that the government's inability to feed its people proves it must be removed.

And if the government develops the capacity to threaten consequences for the next round of sanctions?

Then the discussion is no longer about the suffering population.

Then the discussion is about the threat.
The provocation.
The aggression.

The population disappears from the argument the moment the government acquires the ability to make the argument cost something.

This tells you everything about whose suffering the empire was ever actually concerned with.

@FathAndReason @OopsGuess The same way a nation can fund the genocide of people without a second thought, bomb schools, murder children
And...
lecture other countries about morals.

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

So China’s basic response is:

If the United States were still confident in its own competitiveness, it would not need to turn every Chinese civilian project into a national security emergency.

A port becomes a threat.
A railway becomes a threat.
A telecom network becomes a threat.
Even an undersea cable becomes a weapon.

China builds infrastructure.
Washington builds panic around it.

America no longer asks whether a Chinese project works.
It asks how quickly it can be killed before the world notices it works better.

When an empire can no longer lead, it tries to cripple those who can.

@LewisR00437935 @Mafiakadushman @NYCMayor How is that different than western 'democratically elected' leaders???

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

The empire as victim.

This is the one that should be studied in every political science program on earth.

The country with the largest military in human history.

With 800 bases in 80 countries.

With a nuclear arsenal capable of ending civilization.

With a currency that functions as the world's reserve through arrangements enforced by those same bases.

With a sanctions regime that can starve entire economies.

Persecuted.

By whom?

By globalists. By China. By the UN. By the World Health Organization. By NATO allies who aren't spending enough. By immigrants. By refugees. By international courts that dare to assert jurisdiction.

The most powerful entity in the history of human civilization, casting itself as the beleaguered outsider.

And it works.

It works because power is very good at describing its maintenance costs as victimhood and its violence as self-defense.

It works because the citizens of the empire are not taught to see themselves as imperial.

They are taught to see themselves as individuals, as families, as communities.

Who are always, somehow, under threat from something just beyond the border.

The empire is never the aggressor in its own story.

It is always responding.

It is always defending.

It is always, just barely, surviving.

Against a rice-farming country in Southeast Asia.

Against a Caribbean island under embargo for more than six decades.

Against whoever is next.

@TsukiHaseoVT @MadamSavvy @NYCMayor What Islamic flag is that? Islam does not have a flag 🙄

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference?

Don’t care.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared?

Don’t care.

Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you?

Don’t care.

A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings?

Don’t care.

A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you?

Fuck you.

People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy?

Don’t care.

Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you?

Don’t care.

A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack?

Don’t care.

“Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you?

Don’t care.

People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you?

Don’t care.

You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry?

Truly could not care less.

What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive.

The doctors being tortured.

The families erased under rubble.

The starvation.

The concentration camps.

The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure.

But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead.

Not Palestinian lives.

Not Palestinian suffering.

Not Palestinian speech.

Zionist discomfort.

Zionist fragility.

Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups.

All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency.

While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible.

While Palestinian speech is disciplined.

While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable.

That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex.

Not safety.

Not care.

Not protection.

Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale.

Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity.

If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin.

The problem is you.

They told their children that Columbus discovered America.

They told their children that the frontier was empty.

They told their children that slavery ended and then everyone worked together to build a great nation.

They told their children that they entered the World Wars reluctantly, purely to defend freedom, and asked for nothing in return.

They told their children that the Cold War was a noble struggle of freedom against tyranny and that every intervention in every poor country was part of that struggle.

They told their children that their country has sometimes made mistakes but always, in its heart, on the right side.

Generation after generation after generation.

And then they are confused, genuinely confused, when the people who were on the receiving end of that history have a different account of it.

Not a different interpretation.

A different account.

Because they were there.

The children who were told the beautiful story and the people who lived through the actual events are describing different realities.

And the children who were told the beautiful story have been trained to believe that their version, the one taught in their schools, the one in their films, the one that makes them feel clean,

is the neutral one.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

They taught their children that World War II was a war between good and evil.

And America won.

So in the deepest layer of the American psyche, there is this foundational equation:

America = the side that wins the wars against evil.

Every subsequent war got loaded into that equation.

Korea. Vietnam. Gulf War. Iraq. Afghanistan.

Each one was presented, at the beginning, with the same moral architecture.

The same clarity of purpose.

The same enemy who needed to be stopped.

And when the wars turned out to be complicated, when the reasons turned out to be false, when the conduct turned out to be criminal, when the outcomes turned out to be catastrophic, the equation couldn't be revised.

Because the equation is not really about the wars.

The equation is about the identity.

You cannot tell Americans that Vietnam was a war crime without implying that America is capable of war crimes, which implies that America is not automatically the good side, which collapses the foundational equation, which leaves an entire civilization's self-understanding without a floor.

This is not a political disagreement.

This is an existential threat to a constructed self.

And people defend their constructed selves with the same ferocity they defend their lives.

Sometimes more.

@aulbach_john @Iarracht28 @FoxNews @pdoocy There is not a shred of evidence that Iran was making a nuclear weapon. Just like no WMDs in Iraq. Stop peddling lies. Meanwhile the US and the genocidal ethnostate both are armed to the teeth with nukes.

[Mama Bear Bo @Abocchicchia]

@joergthereader @IranBaseNews Let's not forget that the US is deliberately starving and denying healthcare acces to Cuba right now.

[Mama Bear Bo @Abocchicchia]

@joergthereader @IranBaseNews You may want to look up the crime stats for the US compared to the rest of the world. Again, the US has no normal high ground in any of these arguments.

[Mama Bear Bo @Abocchicchia]

They really don't....

[The Men Of God✌🇵🇸🇱����🇮🇶🇮🇷🇾🇪✌ @aga1nsta11oddz]

I dont think the average american has a clue the amount of pain and destruction their country has caused the rest of the world.

[Mama Bear Bo @Abocchicchia]

@robin3652 @IranBaseNews And how many have the West and Israel killed???

[Mama Bear Bo @Abocchicchia]

@joergthereader @IranBaseNews Pot calling the kettle, eh? Says the American who lives on stolen land, whose ancestors built a country on the backs of slaves, genociding the indigenous population all while thinking he is not the barbaric one. 🥴
