Imagine this: no electricity on Taiwan’s western coast. Government ministries offline. Internet gone. Airport systems shut. No explosion heard. But order collapses just the same.

exactly how words like “autocracy” and “authoritarianism” work. if a state we support does something, then we acknowledge the difficult context of the decision and how justified and necessary it is. if an enemy state does something, just use the Bad Label. they’re Bad and did it because they’re Bad. there is no actual content that doesn’t come back to “they are illegitimate because they are the bad guys and we are legitimate because we are the good guys.”
(fuck you Anne Applebaum)
Fucking Parenti, always relevant!
Oh… so Anne Applewood’s article “The Bad Guys are winning” was an encapsulation of that mentality. Lmfao she does that all the time?
