every girl possesses a 'gem of conquest' and you gain control over it the first time you make them giggle

I guess I've made my point well enough but at times like these what I remember is the Iraq war, specifically that while what is emphasized so often is the brutality of it and how it was waged just for oil, but I think portraying the US as this all-powerful, implacable bandit on the world stage is a form of usamerican propaganda in itself. Instead, what I think of are the results.

Did the US actually end up getting Iraq's oil? Well, not really. They planned to privatize the state oil company but the intensity of the insurgencies in the wake of the fall of the Baathist state immediately forced usamerican planners to contend with the political impossibility of such a thing. Did they change Iraq into a staunch usamerican ally? No. The US still maintains a presence in the country by force but they're hated throughout the political spectrum and at most tolerated on a temporary basis. By contrast the country who gained the most geopolitically from the usamerican war on Iraq was, in fact, Iran.

These people in their offices in Langely, they're capable of marshalling lots of resources, yes, they're good at dropping lots of bombs and killing lots of people, yes, but remember that they are not actually very good at actually winning and bending the world to their will, and they've arguably been getting worse at it every year since the 80s, or even from their retreat in disgrace from Vietnam. Mao wasn't kidding or showing a strong face when he said the imperialist powers were paper tigers. The US can be fought and beaten, and in fact it loses more often than it wins. You've Gotta get out of this defeatist frame of mind.

feel dumb because stelle has just reminded me the reason my pronouns are it/its is because she took the she/hers as a joke and i was committed enough to the bit i just went with it and now like a year has passed and i never got my pronouns back and it's been long enough i forgot the original reason. so i take back my complaining i probably have all kinds of fetish scenarios happening to me all the time i just also have memory problems so as far as i know my life is a doujin and after each one im like "yeah it's always been this way :D"

Obama going "wow I can't believe all my billionaire friends are evil" last year was so funny, yeah for sure man you were just a victim, you got tricked into blocking minimum wage increases in Haiti for them, poor baby

I describe myself as technology illiterate , because I still ask my dad to do all my pirating and setting up my emulators. I tried to do it myself once and accidentally installed malware. But then I see kids who don’t even know what some of the buttons on the key board do and realize I could be a lot worse.
