Yes they are hypocrites, no they do not care. Trump doesn’t care when libs call out his hypocracy. Biden doesn’t care when we do his. The only thing they ask themselves is “are we winning?” and their definition of “winning” is domination. The american oligarchy is nothing but a cabal of vampires that is leeching the life blood out of the rest of the world and turning us to dust figuratively and literally.

Speaking truth to power is folly. Power knows the truth and doesn’t care.

I thought that up on my lonesome just now, but I’m not surprised to discover I’m not the first.

Surely by now liberals have realized the folly in assuming justice is delivered by “speaking truth to power”? Power knows the truth, and determines what gets to be the regime of truth.

Remember when people called mike bloomberg an oligarch, and others were defending him by citing webster’s dictionary or whatever to say that an oligarch can only be from russia by definition.

An american billionaire has to be a sparkling entrepreneur.

the mere existence of the prc is a huge thorn in the side of the capitalist propaganda engine. capitalism is not well suited to the current level of industrialization, not in the current western dictatorship of the bourgeois formation.

China using subsidies is bad. US using subsidies is good. China using free market is bad. US using free market is good. How many times do I have to explain this?

it’s called trying to win, now ask them about US sponsored death squads in Latin America and the rest of the world. Was United Fruit playing on a level playing field? Oh right of course, the pesky socialists threatened to pay them what they claimed their land was worth. What about Coca Cola then? Do they play on a level playing field?
