They realized it’s easier to justify war if they pretend it’s an ”act of defense”
Literally reinventing the wheel
It's frankly stunning just how little these people understand basic politics and the systems they are dismantling. They are profoundly stupid and too ignorant to realize just how intellectually ill-equipped they are. They have no understanding of why the structures they are tearing down were set up, and think that political institutions purposely created to serve their interests are hampering them. They repeat age-old mistakes and think themselves geniuses for it. It's almost inconceivable that people this malignantly incurious reach positions of power. But they have, they do, and they will again.
Absolutely correct. All your post, especially the last two sentences. Dunning-Kruger seems to have become infectious.
