Dang I really need to read their book, they just distilled a lot of thoughts I have had floating around in my head since the pandemic in a clear and concise way and added some crucial evidence to back it up. You could tell people lost their minds behind the wheel early on in the pandemic and it just continues to get worse. I am sure I myself have become a more inattentive or less capable driver just from the growing psychological burden that is placed on us that continues to swell as contradictions magnify and the capital's profit shrinks.

I am curious if any comrades here from the global south can give insight into how Hollywood and US media in general has affected their countries

I think they mean in terms of ideological threats to capitalism in the imperial core

Already seeing libs call this a false flag attack. So that stage has been set already if proof comes out that Ukraine was responsible

I always think about stuff like this. Westerners love to talk about how much they hate other people and how miserable everything is but will still turn around and preach to marginalized and oppressed people domestically and abroad that this is the best system and we are justified using war to "spread" it across the globe

Eventually Christopher Nolan will be correctly and ignominiously remembered as a great propagandist instead of an artist

I don't mean to come off like I'm attacking you, I'm just pointing out red flags that make me very skeptical of a source or an author, sorry if it reads as aggressive. I am also learning from everyone's input on this thread and I'm glad you brought this up for discussion.

I can't take someone seriously who advises presidents who have genocided Muslim peoples and talks about "Islamic Extremism" while ignoring the role of western countries and states like Saudi Arabia for creating groups like the Taliban and fostering their power in the region.

Religion has always justified itself as a "civilizing project"; that doesn't mean this is correct. I can't take that argument seriously.

 

What do we think this means (other than the fact that de-dollarization is indeed happening)?
