Instead, we need an outside bogeyman to distract from the fact that the real villains fucking us around are our own compatriots. Rich assholes get away with distracting the masses yet again!

I think this applies to both countries.

Edit: for the record, rich assholes distract the masses in my country too. And I just noticed the instance I’m on so I’m tapping out here.

You can say “die” here, it’s ok

What are you implying?

I am the second journalist to be arrested in Canada while on assignment since the beginning of 2024.

And he was right.

Why?

Sometimes quotes are just quotes

While privately acknowledging conflict is good for business, the defense industry and its financiers publicly claim they are simply doing America’s bidding. As Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet once said, “It’s only up to us to step to what we’ve been asked to do and we’re just trying to do that in a more effective way, and that’s our role.” After all, it was the U.S. government — not Lockheed Martin — that came to Israel’s defense and intercepted the majority of Iran’s missiles.

But this “we just do what we’re told” defense doesn’t quite work given that defense contractors are actively shaping U.S. foreign policy through lobbying and campaign contributions, among other tactics. Aaron Acosta, program director at Investor Advocates for Social Justice, told Responsible Statecraft that defense contractors “are often the ones creating demand by lobbying the U.S. government and pushing for sales of these weapons.”

Of course they are.

Why does this post crash Sync?

Figured it out. What fediverse software are you registered with? The app doesn’t know what to make of it. It has no issues with kbin or mastadon.
