      that or thousands/millions of other books, essays, treatises, manifestos, etc. saying the same thing.

      it’s an indictment of humanity that we keep doing these same things despite it being so well documented and analyzed.

        The knowledge is being handed down correctly. Thats our biggest advantage as a species, the passing of knowledge to the next generation, and its like something is making sure we dont learn this lesson.

          We pass down the what, but as history is written by the victors the why and the how are lost to the ages. Without why, we never truly understand how. Without how, what is sure to happen without contest.

            The how gets passed down to. The real issue is the propaganda is fed before the facts, and we all know what happens when you est sweets before dinner.

          i struggle to convince myself that the knowledge is useful when it’s so widely & willfully ignored.

    “Oh, well, that’s because we currently have a fascist gov-”

    The previous administration said the same thing.

    Well, I try to judge people individually, not according to their governments, but unfortunately many people do so

    Good thing your government isn’t the world police - we have multinational organisations that handle that

      The problem is that the US Empire has a massively outsized influence over these multinational organizations, they serve to legitimize and facilitate Empire more than solve problems.

        Yeah, the U.S. has been routinely undercutting them. I think it escalated to true bipartisan normalization that we don’t GAF with the Iraq War. And in both Russia and Israel that voice could have been helpful, because it’s too easy to dismiss the U.S. for its (well earned) lack of moral authority.

          The US isn’t really undercutting them, but propping up systems it can control, like the IMF and NATO.
