Why do they always say this sooner or later? They said it with Iraq, with Afghanistan, with Libya, with Syria, with Xinjiang, with the DPRK…they always say it. It’s like they have some uncontrollable compulsion to admit that they’re just doing it to steal another nation’s resources.

The thing I really don’t get is how they say this every goddamn time and the libs still always fail to catch onto it.

the real reason

Look, Jack, I’m seeing many real reasons (geopolitical interests in position by Europe and U.S against Russia, further shock therapy and economic domination by the west, resources and so forth)

The libs understand on some level that the plunder of resources is required to maintain their standard of living, or in this age, mitigate its inevitable decline.

so you know how in election season politicians tout their accomplishments for reelection? “we put in that new park” “improved bike lanes & new buses”

well they can’t do all the messaging to their actual corporate constituencies in private, it’s a lot of trouble and looks conspiratorial if it comes out. but this is no great trouble, because the private media is not going to emphasize & will bury this after it reaches the appropriate audiences of corporate donors

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
