It’s a no-brainer that critical thinking and an ethical core are immensely triggering to ethnofascist totalitarians, if not autocrats generally. ‘Ungh people who can think for themselves remind me what a codependent slave I am, it’s not fair.’ It’s equally a no-brainer that the counterterrorist conspiracism that sprang up in reaction to the 9/11 atrocities over two decades ago would eventually be used against domestic dissent.
The War or Terror was a war on the population by proxy, after all; just associate anything you don’t like with terrorism, and every discussion ends. Contradicting imperialists who don’t feel like being contradicted means you hate freedom, and fun, and cats. It says plenty about the servility of the corporate media and respectable intellectuals in the west, arguably, that the counterterrorist conspiracism that wrought two failed wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan is taken seriously at all when rolled out again by Netanyahu and his merry band of butchers and thugs (who controls Afghanistan again now? I forget).
Respectable media pundits and bought intellectuals fall over each other to virtue-signal their conformity and complicity with crimes against humanity; one trick ponies who define ourselves on the basis of values we allege in speech, rather than those we live, defining ourselves through opposition to demonised Others rather than actual accomplishments, follow Pied Pipers of structural violence and terror into the abyss like it’s 1939 all over again.
Don’t hang your head in shame for being complicit in state terrorism and crimes against humanity but. Does Michaelia Cash even know what shame is, much less a genuine human emotion? Doubtful. It’s almost as though the ‘terrorists never change’ bandwagon is the one incapable of not sounding like a broken fucking record.
