Liberals will. Just like yhey forgot the lies about Iraq, Afghanistan, not to mention the last 60 years of lies from Isreal. Liberals have been lied to by the exact same people over and over again, but they never go anywhere. David Frum still gets paid, John Bolton is still floating around. Doesn’t matter. History will remember, but o ly after after it is no longer written by liberals
“One day, everyone will have always been against this”
They just turn around and say it was a “mistake” after everything is done and nothing can be changed about it anymore.
liberals forgot all the lies about Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cuba and Korea and they will forget Gaza too. the goal of their politics is to make themselves feel better without endangering their own privilege, and eventually they will feel ritually bad about Gaza when it’s useful for them to cleanse their own guilt about it
The list of atrocities they’ve forgotten is massive, not least of all the founding genocide of their settler colonial state.
the goal of their politics is to make themselves feel better without endangering their own privilege
nailed it right there. They’ll make a movie about it someday and everyone who watches it will pat themselves on the back for consooooming the virtuous slop
In Arab countries there’s a fable, someone was known for having an ego and lying was telling a crowd a story, that one day he was in the desert and a lion was chasing him, so he dug a hole and hid in it. The crowd told him it was impossible for him to do that in a short amount of time, so he corrected himself and said that he jumped into a river to run. The crowd told him there was no river in that desert, then he corrected himself again and said he rode a horse and they ran away. The crowd told him there was no horses in the desert, so he said “yeah the lion just ate”. This is how I feel about Hasbra, the fact that they lie then correct it with another lie, like with the hospital they first lied about it being terrorists, then they changed the lie into “yeah the PIJ did it” ??? REF DO SOMETHING
The protagonist of this fable would later go on to inspire the witnesses in the Ace Attorney series
Caitlin Johnstone is always so on point! I love her journalism.
