Quae Romae? (Which Rome?)
The New Punic War
Thought provocation from Huw Richardson.
How's that complacency working for you?
We don't like mess. Americans don't like mess. Bloody meat may be fine and fashionable, but not on a carcass. Farmed venison is nice, but hunters are not. Armed criminals are bad, but armed citizens protecting themselves is pure evil. We come up with names to avoid mistakes: venison, again, is nice, but deer meat is kinda scary. Abortion is a good, shooting up a school though, that's senseless violence. We are the same politically: we love results, but we don't want to see the blood. Blood makes us uncomfortable, results make us happy. We are unhappy with "boots on the ground" wars. We've already imaged the people out, but just their boots are bad, too.
and
Much of the rest of the world has been fighting - with guns - against dictators we installed and supported; who in exchange for that support made possible our way of life. We remember Kennedy because he failed to pull this tinkering off in Cuba. But we set up the Cuban Banana Republic therefore they had their revolution. Read up on the School of the Americas. And Iran-Contra. And the Philippines. Grenada. Cristiani. And the Panama Canal. And the entire history of the world since the Louisiana Purchase. And then there are the Native tribal peoples in all of the US, including Hawaii and Alaska. We manipulate, divide, and rule. It's our MO. But please don't show us. That's what made us so uncomfortable with Viet Nam: we could see it. People are worried that Russia hacked our election. So what? This is what we've been doing to other people forever. See this about Honduras. See this one about Egypt. Palestine? Iraq? Chile? Ah... let me go on.
