Re: Crooke: Manichaeism and ‘An Ideology of Liberal Empire’ – Biden’s Forever Cosmic War Against Russian Archived Message Posted by Dovetail Joint on March 1, 2023, 9:35 pm, in reply to "Crooke: Manichaeism and ‘An Ideology of Liberal Empire’ – Biden’s Forever Cosmic War Against Russian" It's like there's a paradigme shift in the West, which the war in Ukraine illustrates. Reality has become so complex and contradictory, so challenging and dangerous... climate breakdown, desstruction of the environment, economic decline, cultural degeneration... that the European ruling elite has chosen to ignore reality and instead embrace a more easily understood and manageable fantasy version of the world where anything is possible if one wishes really, really, hard with all one's might. So one decides that our values are all important rather than our interests, that are linked to a realistic evaluation of the costs vs the benefits of any action.
