  • I meant that the idea that the US should have followed the direction that le heckin based Patton and MacArthur set for them and have gone on a nuclear crusade against the Judeo-Bolshevik USSR has been fairly widespread among the American Far Right, from particularly unhinged neocons (who drop the “Judeo-” part) to full on fascists. The notion that it’s being implanted by a foreign Jewish conspiracy as opposed to being homegrown right wing whitey brainrot is laughable.

    I guess it could be consistent if this poster knows the US doing that would have been a terrible idea and figures it would play right into the hands of the Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy theory (who were pulling the strings of MacArthur, somehow), but there’s still the matter that he used an Israeli jewish caricature (famously pro-Soviet Israel) which throws that away anyway.






  • Given how they also are making it harder for foreign intelligentsia to make their way to the States (despite the brief soyrage months back over Trump supposedly “importing” educated Indian workers en masse), I’m curious where the American Right thinks their country’s scientific base comes from. Trump is no less vocal than Biden about supposedly wanting to retake America’s unquestioned global dominance but whereas Biden’s policies at least salved the US’s decline, Trump’s policies are accelerating it.

    Of course, it’s more likely that the bourgeoisie in general see the writing in the wall for America’s place in the world and are simply strip-mining the place for all its worth. Dems simply think it should be a more calm, measured operation while Reps want to be frantic about it while doubling down on immigration and culture war issues.
