CJ writes a piece in which she states that it’s a positive that Americans have to be deceived into wars, because it show their “underlying goodness”, and she goes on to state that we should focus our anger at the manipulators and not the manipulated.
PCR thinks that this absolves Americans from any responsibility for the massive crimes their country has committed, as they keep getting duped, yet still keep supporting the war agenda of the manipulators.
I entered this thread with my pov that CJ is right to be positive because yes, the overwhelming majority of all people, not just Americans, are innately good/fair/compassionate & therefore opposed to needless wars, yet PCR also has a point in that people also have a responsibility as their innate goodness is susceptible to being easily overridden by the manipulators stoking-up people sense of tribalism, under the guise of patriotism, religion, imaginary threat, etc
You chose to engage with me straight in with accusatory terms of “lefties” & “lovers of multi-culturalism”; an unrelated straw-man about “It is not racist when countries protect their sovereignty, take pride in their culture, and uphold their laws”, and proceed to go on about “migrant crisis” & immigration ! You switched the subject about how war-mongers play on people tribal instincts to support wars, to some CT about “Globalists” using anti-racists as “useful idiots” to divide people & push a “diabolical diversity agenda” !
It may come as a surprising CT to you, but Tribalism is very much a thing, and it probably gives Love & Money a good run for what makes the World go around.
