War on drugs - drugs won
War on terror - terror won
War on woke - 🤞
It’s never been about defeating those things, it’s about expanding power using them as an excuse.
Exactly.
- War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
- War on Terror - PATRIOT Act, or whatever its current incarnation is
- War on Woke - probably government access to medical records and/or privacy generally, but I guess we’ll see
War on Drugs - reduce minority voice in government
And increase incarceration of certain people to expand legal slavery under the 13th amendment.
War on poverty 😬
Considering how tired and sleepy I feel, they may be winning this one.
War on drugs - excuse to further oppress blacks and mexicans (successful)
War on terror - excuse to violently expand influence in the middle east (mission accomplished)
War on woke - 😟
- War on Woke - war on privacy and access to undesirable (to the state) information
As RATM says:
Who controls the past now, controls the future.
Who controls the present now, controls the past.
It’s just Big Brother.
What’s ratm
Rage Against the Machine
that makes sense. to start utilizing their surveillance network more aggressively to their interests. trying to censor out “woke”, as in socialism and anticapitalism in general, activism etc…
yeah this doesn’t look good does it.
I mean they literally came out and said that they hate empathy.
First they funded, supported, and grew the terrorism, and THEN, they fought the terrorism. Then they funded other terrorists. But it’s always in countries with natural resources they want.
His one job was to create profit for weapons manufacturers and he did that job very very well
His job was to do Israel’s bidding and remove Saddam.
Saddam and his family were genuinely awful, to be fair.
Yes, but that’s not really why they removed him.
Plenty of horrible people ruling countries that America has no interest in removing as it doesn’t suit their needs.
When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there’s no final end point.
Just like the “war on drugs” was never about stopping drugs, this was never about stopping terrorism.
Gonna be honest, the idiom/meme “had one job” is almost never correct or appropriate and the role of president is certainly a situation where it does not apply. I find it irksome, most of the time, when people say/type it, without actually thinking things through and applying it appropriately. Don’t care if it is an unpopular opinion because it is a fact that it is used incorrectly the vast majority of the time and haters gonna hate, only true appreciators gonna appreciate.
Are we really going back this far, right at this moment?
Mate, I was traumatised when Dragonball z and Pokémon were interrupted before school and this dude was on all the TV stations.
Nothing has been any good sense.
