scary ghost dog posted:lol hes right, american fundamentalism will spell the death of every other mass culture the first paragraph sounds kinda chuddy but the second paragraph reads more like a fatalistic anti-imperialist take as a whole, it reads to me as "the saudis did 9/11 because of american cultural imperialism, but they're probably hosed no matter what they do" not raging islamophobia i could be reading that too charitably, but if that's the crowning piece of evidence, it seems remarkably weak

I think that McCarthy thing is probably fine but I do not at all understand his line about armaments and fossil fuel money. The Saudis sent Microsoft Flight Simulator guys at us, not smart bombs.

The Saudis sent Microsoft Flight Simulator guys at us, not smart bombs. it would be unlikely for a repressive theocratic monarchy like the sauds to survive this long without the oil money and the weapons it buys them; al qaeda was well-funded by rich saudis; the taliban got weapons and training from us in the 80s, etc. ofc he's speaking imprecisely at best, and reading between the lines there's a strong hint of the "gently caress these arab savages" vibe that was taken as common wisdom for years after 9/11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwFaSpca_3Q

but he says "which will proscribe the purchasing of armaments to use against the West" Like what? They're buying OUR weapons and we're selling them to them specifically for the protection of the oil they sell us, guy. I could wrap my head around it maybe if he said we could stop buying the oil and therefore no longer having a reason to ignore the fact that they funded Al-Queda and basically facilitated 9/11 but "armaments" makes no sense.

idk that positing the idea that war is a natural state of being for man isn't necessarily revealing you to be a fash, just a deep pessimist. And there's a lot of bad guys in that book

I'm always pleased to know that so many people have read Blood Meridian. It's probably the best book I've ever read and after I was finished I was afraid that the prose would be too much for most people to push through. Certainly took me a few tries to get started.
