any emotional appeal to intervention is always funny as hell because we could end hunger tomorrow with the money we use on intervention guaranteed and prevent way more death and human suffering that way, but that doesn't get raytheon money. but people get blown into little giblets when they die in a warzone, I guess. shocking stuff, lets buy more laser guided missles.

do the doctors at these camps have to be licensed. I know doctors that lose their medical license can still work in prisons.

my working assumption is that this stripe of liberal is perfectly fine with considering east asian people (or jewish people) not-POCs whenever it's convenient

I think it's literally just us-vs-them and nothing more. If you're a BIPOC who they agree with, you're good and they will show how righteous they are. If they're A BIPOC who they disagree with, you simply don't count in any way. It's super loving convenient for all the wannabe fascist libs

Evans has a lot of batshit takes and suffers the same brainworms as every left anarchist but his body of work seems like 90% devoted to correctly painting America and the west as evil incarnate and 10% devoted to "syrian intervention is good and takies are as big a threat as the right", so I don't know, if he's an asset he's a terrible investment.

I mean it's not like American leftists need the deep state to influence them to support imperialism, they do that themselves

the cia doesn't need to be careful about how they invest because they have infinite money

While true, nobody in the intelligence community is directly paying Bobby Evans, Professional Conflict Tourist, any money and he isn't getting daily briefings or marching orders or anything. He works for Bellingcat and iHeart where he gets mentorship and editorial oversight and has conversations with people he respects and who fill his head with certain ideas, stuff filters down and it's probably part of why his worldview is borderline incoherent

of course not, but there are going to be a whole lot of people who are very invested in (and publicly insistent) on you accepting it

don't think it's going to go well though, since it's the work of a moment to explain to anyone actually paying attention why it's a complete load of bull, and low info voters don't (and have never) cared about the details of why things aren't getting done

e: but all of that is for the critiques of the post-2022 retrospectives blaming the blowout losses on an insufficiently appreciative and compliant left wing / failure to embrace sufficiently right-wing policy / Chinese interference /whatever
