edit // changed the title from “Venezuelan oil tanker” to “oil tanker near Venezuela”. nytimes says the ship was flagged with Panama. the reuters article seems to say that the oil was headed to China.
Who had “Privateering makes a comeback” on their 2025 bingo card?
Honestly, the “robber” part of a robber barony had me put this on a bingo card a while ago.
I suppose this falls under “crony capitalism” or whatever denial they have that this is the rapacious nature of capitalism to devolve into gangsterism and fascism
Yet another sign: presence of the Pirates of the South US Coast as a mirror for the 华南海盗 of the Qing dynasty.
liberals and socdems are like the pathetic reform movements that try to reinvigorate the dying empire by making small adjustments
however the US empire is still somehow an exporter of global imperial violence while the late qing was mostly a victim of it
China occupying Manhattan and downtown LA to trade fentanyl for soybeans and starbucks coffee mugs would be pretty funny though
The late Qing never had the same imperial ambitions as the US so maybe comparing it to another colonial empire like the British who still manage to export violence despite being well past their prime
The United States is the world’s most successful bandit kingdom.

The next DOJ can have such a sweet job with how this is all being setup. They’ll just need to copy the official press releases to evidence and dump admin officials at the Hague.

plundering the global south is bipartisan, why would they punish themselves for this?
I have a dream that the US citizens will elect a socialist administration that will drop the liberalism and punish this corruption
emphasis on dream, yeah

“Let’s try voting our way out of this, ignoring that the oligarchs/corporate bourgeoisie, fascists, imperial core liberals, etc will do their absolute, die-hard best to ensure that socialism never finds its way to America through the democratic system.”
