Category Archives: Rationalization

A dissection of how these modern day countries are all led by these, unqualified leaders, how the rest of majority population, we’d, relinquished our abilities to think, to decide for ourselves, WHAT is right or wrong, WHAT is good for us, and leave it up for these mother FUCKERS we put into office to DECIDE for us, and “it’s all for your own, good”, how this SHIT works, and we’re still, all STUCK in our, delusions here, with NO way out!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The empires, they never, admit to their own, greed, and are always, in need of that noble mirror, to see their own, reflections.  Edward Said once stated, that every empire would proclaim itself as different from all the empires in history within itself, and to the outside, world.  This is not just the rationalized self-defense, but the core criteria for how power can function, well.  Only by believing that the self is, unique, the empires can then, turn the justifications of how it wants to operate that doesn’t fit to the moral standards, and turn it into necessary and justified, actions.

For long, the language of the American empire circled around democracy and, human rights.  The military interventions described into reform and protecting the masses, the economic expansions became liberating of the oppressed and restructuring of a society.  From the Marshall Plan to the war in Iraq, this mean of storytelling worked repeated through the decades, and it’d become, internalized into political knowledge bases, and moral instincts; until Trump came to office, the formulation of the ideology started becoming, clearer.

Trump doesn’t deny the logic behind imperialism, but he’d, adjusted the angle of how the narrative is told, and the audience to which the narrative is, directed, towards.  He’d claimed, that the U.S. will no longer shoulder the establishments of democracies out of the U.S., he’d exited out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, questioned N.A.T.O., and used “America first” to redefine the boundaries that focused on the interests of the U.S..  And still, this didn’t get U.S. out of what Said described as the imperialistic framework, instead, it’d reiterated the settings of imperialism, the myths of expansion out of the country’s own territorial borders.

In Trump’s beliefs, the U.S. will no longer be the savior of other countries, but a victim that needs to be, liberated.  He’d described the U.S. as a victim, bound by unfair trade, weighed down by multilateralism; from his trade war that he’d started with China, to renegotiating the American-Canada-Mexican agreement, the powerful is repackaged into the victim, with the justifications of the sources, transferring too.  The targets of reform and liberation is no longer foreign societies, but the laborers of the rust belt, and “the forgotten populations”.

Trump had successfully molded the policies into a bureaucratic movement against the elites that’s now gone global.  Using the excuses of preventing the illegal substances getting trafficked in, he’d painted Venezuela as a safe haven for the traffickers, justifying the invasions into Venezuela as the necessary “evil” to protect American citizens; that arresting Maduro isn’t out of conquest or plunder, but the necessary means of combatting crimes, to protect the citizens of the U.S., and to restore order.  This showed of how flexible the usages of language of imperialism, is, even if the core target involved the change of power or to gain geographical control of a foreign country, obtaining the power still needed that moral justification to provide the justifications thereof.

Said’s observations are extremely apparent in this.  No matter how the forms changed, it is intolerable, that power gets explained as what it is, greed.  The empires needed to believe that there’s the justification for the righteousness of their behaviors, even if this “correctness” is built upon the selective interpretations of reality.  The words can be manipulated, but the structures of power is still, exactly, the, same.

The first step to understanding imperialism, is to dissolve its narrative of it being unique.  This isn’t the negating of all motives to obtain power, but as a reminder to us, when power starts believing that it has the justifications to be more than it actually, is, that its own actions, don’t need to get evaluated by the moral standards that had been accepted by what others are judged, by, the dangers are already, forming into, shape.

Trump’s America is an example; showing how “justifications of imperialism” can continue to maintain its working structures even if the policies are set against it.  From the trade wars, to the military threats, from the economic sanctions, to the political power transitioning, every time that the power gets extended, there’s that rationalization of the actions being done as, morally correct; the packaging of power can change, but, the justifications of obtaining these powers stay, the exact, same.

As an observer, a participant, our most important missions is to keep our heads, to NOT get confused by the myths of uniqueness that our governments are feeding to us.  The reflections of imperialism will always show how they want the outside world to see them, but what we see, may not be, real.

This is on how to DEPROGRAM ourselves, to these LIES that our governments tell to us, like how they’re all using, FEAR tactics to push us into voting for these mother FUCKERS (so???), preying on our fears of inflation, economic downturn, war, etc., etc., etc., etc., but hey, we can’t help it, we fear things, and that’s how the “light” of corruption gets in, and because governments are a human creation, and seeing how humans are naturally FLAWED, and you DO see where I’m going with this shit, don’t you?

Problem of this is that we are all easily sways, we follow that leader blindly, and will stay FAITHFUL to the BIG MAN and allow these IDIOTS that probably have NO clue where they’re going to (or maybe, they all know that they’re leading us all, down that wrong path???) to lead us on.

This is why this world is in this huge a mess, because we allowed these mother @#$%ERS to control all our lives, and we still don’t got a single clue, wow, we really DO deserve to D-I-E, don’t we?

We surely DO!
