This headline is not wrong. I mean imagine if Dems actually started adopting positions that appeal to —gasp— ordinary people. I mean o my god. The plebs! Not the ducking plebs!

They don’t need real voters anymore. They will buy votes, gerrymander and mediabomb until they get the desired result. Why should they return the calls of those plebs?

Hmm let me see. True former colonies include Cuba, the Philippines and Liberia. The Panama Canal Zone. Hawaii was unceremoniously annexed, as were Guam and Puerto Rico. And a host of smaller islands.

In a broader sense, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq are also very happy they’re once again independent from the US.

In an even broader sense, most US allies are working for independence from the unreliable US as we speak.

In fact, the best ones are about independence from the US

Sure. But the state of Israel is a UN-creation right after WW2, with the holocaust as the explicit motivator

Sure, on a personal level, that’s true. But the country identifies its roots and legitimacy as based in and on the holocaust. It’s what its government never gets tired of repeating. Worse: ‘never again’ is actively used as the excuse for genocide.

I mean, it’s always been clear that the Holocaust was a teachable moment. However I never expected the victims to take home precisely these lessons
