“The ideologies of all empires are grounded in the same lie: we’re helping the little guy.” – Dr. Freckles
“Isolationism” is a dog whistle …
Every time a “conservative” goes off the reservation and talks about downsizing this crooked neo-Stalinist hell hole empire? – “OMG … you’re an isolationist”
BTW: “isolationist” is also used as a proxy these days for “racist” or “anti-Semite”
Many Americans are so imbued with this “imperial ideology”, that they don’t see bombs going off when watching CNN or Fox News …
they see “freedom flames” and people being fed
(they never see the dead)
