    Also if anyone is wondering, PugJesus left the Fediverse altogether (maybe just a hiatus, but could be permanent). It seems multiple people nominated me to be his/her/their (dunno PJ’s gender) replacement as mod for the comm and I accepted. I will try my best to keep order here.

      Hopefully just a break. Though I don’t blame them. Seeing the way certain things are being handled it isn’t confidence inspiring and certainly does not want to make someone want to invest a lot of time.

    It’s what they and those they support would do after all. It’s always been projection. Just like it was with the magats. This certainly isn’t to defend the cia. They’ve verifiably done plenty horrible things. But this is just as stupid as any regular maga screaming communism about anything.

    So dumb.

    Western countries aren’t controlled by the CIA – they’re controlled by Israel (specifically, Israel’s extensive blackmail material).

          Fash-left is still fash, my guy. The west is controlled by capital. Israel just happens to be the nexus of the entire MIC including spy-tech, while also being the nexus of the preferred doomsday cult of the global hegemonic leader, while also claiming the mantle of a genuinely marginalized group. The right and “left” both get to weaponize 2 and 3 respectively for the sake of 1; that’s all.

      Israel for the most part is just trying to control what Western countries do in relation to Israel. Even that is somewhat failing, as the recent recognition of Palestine show.

      It is also useful to compare to what the West does in other cases of genocide. It is usually just some sanctions against the leaders of the country. As long as they do not threaten the West, they are usually pretty much ignored. This is especially true, when the country in question has something the West wants. Saudi Arabia and the UAE were pretty much given a free hand, when they killed thousands in Yemen. The UAE does a lot of similar things in other countries as well and basically nothing happens.

      The only recent times something happened was with Serbia, which was in Europe(so no sea in between) and with ISIS, which was very openly anti West.
