    They really, really don’t want to face that the US has always has this side to it.

    This is why they need to blame Putin, Netanyahu or Trump instead of the systems that created them. Because to them it has to be a recent corruption, because the idea that the whole thing has always been poisonous is too big a beast to handle. It can’t be voted away. It isn’t a safe enemy.

    It’s all a consequence of US meddling, right from the start. They were always a nation founded on slavery and nonces

    Trump just materialized into office one day and took control, nothing anyone could have done about this.

    No better system than Democracy + Capitalism btw.

      They’re convinced that the best democratic model in the world is a binary choice between two parties. Accusing one party out of two of destroying the country means you’re rooting for the other to rule all the time, so they can’t do that

      (And of course the GOP have absolutely no problem doing so but liberals love surrendering unconditionally to reactionaries)

      Well that’s because the parties actually try to make it so obvious how terrible the country is

      From a liberal perspective it’s very useful.

      -Because Hitler alone was responsible for WWII you avoid having to deal with the fact that a huge part of the European population were (and still are) rabid fascist freaks with a taste for genocide.

      -No ordinary people in any country ever actually wanted a socialist revolution, they were all forced on them by people like Lenin, Mao, and Fidel, who were of course exactly the same (or actually worse, because reasons) as Hitler.

      And so on.

    This is literally no different than the 2000s except more of Europe is going mask off and embracing their inner burgers. Give it 7 seven years and Brits will be clapping when the plane lands too and we have to explain concepts to them with burger analogies!

    YES! We’re the village idiot of the western countries! We always have been! The only difference now is 4chan has become one hell of a PR department for burger reich’s nonsense.

    Full text formatted. Tear this fucking britbong to shreds.

    I spent a happy Saint’s Day on Tuesday having a few jars at my local with a new friend named Dennis O’Connor, a good Kerryman who’s lived over here for some time. We talked awhile about international sport, especially about how Ireland had been hosed out of the Six Nations rugby championship by England, dammit, who folded like a cheap suit and handed the win to France on a late penalty kick. We suspected the fine hand of Edward Carson, or Lord Trevelyan, or Cromwell, working the refs from the bowels of hell.

    The only time I saw Dennis get angry was when, somehow, the government of the United States came up in casual conversation. This included the World Baseball Classic, in which Venezuela was playing a U.S. team chock-full of MAGA-curious dumbasses who seemed to think they were playing ball on Omaha Beach. The intensity of my new friend’s contempt for this government surprised even me. If we’ve incurred the dislike of Irish émigrés on St. Patrick’s Day, we’ve passed a point of unpopularity that I thought we’d never come near.

    Venezuela beat the insufferable cult members of the USA for the world baseball title. On Monday, when Venezuela beat Italy, this is what the president of the United States posted on his money pit of a social-media platform:

    Wow! Venezuela defeated Italy tonight, 4-2, in the WBC (Baseball!) Semifinal. They are looking really great. Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE? President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Oy.

    I have watched as the entire world has responded to his appeals to help him bail himself out in his very excellent Iranian excursion by telling him that, no, can’t make it, gotta grout the tub. I have seen that the United States has been downgraded in the democracy index, a respected international survey, based partly on the administration’s continuing assault on free expression and the First Amendment generally. I have heard the president trying the blackmail Denmark into surrendering Greenland; and his towering foolishness regarding Canada, including referring to the country’s prime minister as “Governor Carney”; and how he should be “involved” in picking the next leader of Iran; and, most recently, how he could “do anything I want with Cuba.” The Emperor of Adderall, he brings to mind the passage from Exodus: Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we. Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. And there arose up a new president over the United States, who did not give a flying… All of this I followed as part of my professional obligation, but watching my new friend Dennis on Tuesday and seeing the contempt on his face and in his voice drove the new reality home like nothing had before. We are hated as a nation now. One man has done this.
