Why do they always say this sooner or later? They said it with Iraq, with Afghanistan, with Libya, with Syria, with Xinjiang, with the DPRK…they always say it. It’s like they have some uncontrollable compulsion to admit that they’re just doing it to steal another nation’s resources.
The thing I really don’t get is how they say this every goddamn time and the libs still always fail to catch onto it.
Look, Jack, I’m seeing many real reasons
(geopolitical interests in position by Europe and U.S against Russia, further shock therapy and economic domination by the west, resources and so forth)
How do you analyze the current massacre of Gaza through these lens? Considering the timing (same time as Ukraine war, Niger’s coup, Iran’s coup attempt etc) and the attention it’s getting from the imperial core? I remember back in october somebody pointing out the “coincidence” of a land rich with gas fields getting attacked not long after Nordsk’s explosion
The libs understand on some level that the plunder of resources is required to maintain their standard of living, or in this age, mitigate its inevitable decline.
so you know how in election season politicians tout their accomplishments for reelection? “we put in that new park” “improved bike lanes & new buses”
well they can’t do all the messaging to their actual corporate constituencies in private, it’s a lot of trouble and looks conspiratorial if it comes out. but this is no great trouble, because the private media is not going to emphasize & will bury this after it reaches the appropriate audiences of corporate donors

Any books you’d recommend that you used to learn about the topic?
Droplet mentioned Hudson’s Super Imperialism
