yesterday's conspiracy theory is today's Wikipedia article I mean of course everyone also loves playing footsie with Sunni terrorists too, Hamas included

so the consequences of Realpolitik are easily turned into stories of the Winged Hussars of the Light against the Orcs of Mordor: remember when the reporters were getting tingly about missiles hitting Syria and the White Helmets got an Oscar? Ben Shapiro was there last time, too

Yeah I tend to remember most of the American based shit but yes that thing in Egypt was probably the actual thing I was thinking of. I also had to laugh that OF COURSE the conspiracy was trying to blame the bombing on "Egyptian Communists". I swear the only reason these corrupt governments are so insistent on supporting capitalism is because they know capitalists can be bought off for the right price.

it's also interesting to see it all in terms of small, dependent countries: "we'd better look like mad dogs ready to attack even our own patrons and our own soldiers at a moment's notice": North Korea, El Salvador attacking Honduras 1969, Rhodesia, the Sri Lankan civil war (where the Red Cross had to stop giving the government forces the locations of its medical camps--also the war where suicide bombing and double-tap attacks on EMTs were invented)

a bigger country like Indonesia or Argentina (or even Nazi Germany) has to put in more effort into disappearing or relocating their targets rather than murdering them in front of the cameras and daring anyone to stop them
