Much like how a Scary Enemy is necessary in the United States in order to justify crackdowns on civil rights and as an excuse why reforms cannot happen "just yet" (we don't have time for that now! Don't you know we gotta fight Saddam/Milosevic/Bin Laden/Saddam again/ISIS/Gaddafi/Putin/Hamas?")
But in reality the enemy in America is anybody living outside of one of there political boxes! If you get put into that left right paradigm, it is not doing no one any good! Except the ones who put there!
Parroting what your programmed to repeat!
On a 24 hour news cycle!
Repeated over and over your side of Paradigm!
All you need to do is click to find mind numbing one sided drivel!
If that is not self abuse I do not know what is!
I assume not much different elsewhere!
But it is a known fact America has been under psychological attack for quite a while! Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs
Ever since I was a child, I recall us Murkins requiring someone to hate: China, the Soviets, various Arab or Muslim nations, Mexican immigrants, the list goes on.
This is designed to distract us to the internal problems we face: hunger, homelessness, lack of medical care, abysmal educational systems. Etc, etc.
Don't think anything will matter much soon. Reading the papers here today looks like Americans will start a war with Iran. Biden is in bad trouble and American warships in the Red Sea are making matters worse.
Interesting how the subcategory of Caitlin Johnstone/Max Blumenthal/Aaron Mate/Jimmy Dore is actually pro-Communist, and thus is myopic to the problem of the West being, precisely, a systemic subversion over decades BY Communists.
Those are 2 sides of the same coin. Their seeming opposition to each other is part of the (successful) disinformation of whoever is behind the project.
There are 2 Communisms -- one is a romantic fable that has seduced countless Useful Idiots (some otherwise quite intelligent). The other is some psychopathic movement to destroy Christianity and remake Mankind.
How many are in North Korea, Cuba, or Venezuela? Concentrated power is corrupt power. Only individual liberty with voluntary free association works long term. Power corrupts.
Ergo we should distribute said power as evenly as we possibly can amongst all the workers of a given society... Concentrated power is the bread and butter of capitalism, after all...
For example: Wouldn't you say a country that has the highest literacy rate in all of the Americas, that has the highest rate of home-ownership in that same continent, that has the highest doctor-per-capita rate of the _planet_, is doing a pretty good job at distributing power amongst the citizenry? I'd say so... (Btw that country isn't Canada, and if you thought it was the USA, go see a doctor...)
"Free association" is just an euphemism for "rich people can do whatever the hell they want" in bourgeoisie democracy, my friend.
There's more people going to sleep without shelter tonight in a single city block of LA than in the entirety of the Cuban isle... But that's just those poor drug-addicted people exercising their "right to free association", amirite? :)
The irony is that the same Mainstream that beginning in the 1940s (and increasingly the following decades until now) mocked and minimized the concern over the Red Scare is the same Mainstream that has promoted our recent Narratives -- Covid, Climate Change, CRT, Transgenders, Ukraine, and now the pro-Israel Narrative.
Hollywood did a number on the American numpty as far back as the McCarthy era to brain wash them into red scare 2.0 the orwelian level.
The cia having whole departments dedicated to warping Americans perceptions of reality through Hollywood to push a mind controlled agenda of Russian xenophobia and Putin bogeyman syndrome you all now seem to suffer from. All while unchecked predatory capitalism you have been trained to worship is sanctified while it actuvly stealer you prosperity and blood sweat and tears right out of everyone's body's while your in collusion political shills run cover for them.. But you numpties still think there are Russian sleeper cells hiding under your beds poised to steal the patriotic lint.
Actually, as Diana West has shown, it was largely the reverse. With a few rare exceptions that prove the rule, Hollywood has cultivated the Leftist disdain for "McCarthyism" and making martyrs of the Hollywood Communists blacklisted -- and as Diana West has proven, Hollywood actually had another blacklist going (one the Mainstream never discusses, of course) preventing movies that were anti-Stalinist from being made.
you're just pushing Joe McCarthy style propaganda here, Hollywood (see Reagan, Ronald) was an enthusiastic backer of the lies propagated by people like Joe McCarthy and the Kennedys about leftists. you fell for an earlier version of the propaganda you write about.

Yes. For as long as I have been interested in US politics the 'scare machine' has been used. China/Russia etc.
Here in the states we call it the bogeyman!
Hides in your dark closet with the moth balls.

Spot on . been saying the same for years...glad im not the only one who can see through generations of it
Takes time to break thru all of the of abuse!
But then when you do, there’s no one to talk too!
You are isolated and censored!
That’s the America I know!
Fortunately I am happy with solitude!
Working with what I got!
How many American, European,Australian
Secret Online police do you think are here?
Only save space to talk face to face is the woods!
On the beach!
Or down a dark alley!
American society is turning into brown shirts!
Who is listening and who are you actually talking too!
This to me this is obvious, give someone in America a different reality then
The Main stream propaganda and you will still get this response 90% of the time! Is that aluminum hat on tight?
Sure is, my parrot has one too!
We are out here, but not seen or heard very often thanks!
Safe space wow not save space

Hey Gypsy. Yes true
Wars too are a distraction!

They are NOT pro-Communist they are liberal socialists.
Read more books and stop watching Teevee.
1) Not taking a stand against Communism = enabling Communism.
2) Their reluctance to condemn Communism includes a myopia to Communist subversion as the #1 threat to the West
3) They probably think the West is evil through and through, from the beginning to now, essentially.
1+2+3 = I don't care what flavor they call themselves, they are enabling Communism.
Making Communism your enemy only gives it power. To my way of thinking, fascism is worse. And that's where we're headed.
Those are 2 sides of the same coin. Their seeming opposition to each other is part of the (successful) disinformation of whoever is behind the project.
That's right. Buford T Justice gave it ample definition.
Had to Google, laughed my fricking ass off when I remembered who that was... Arigatô, Mr. Roboto!

"A systemic subversion over decades by communists"...
Tell me, comrade, how many means of production are in the hands of workers in this "subverted" Capitalist World Order you seem to believe in?
And how many are in the hands of old, useless, rich white men that haven't worked for decades?
Please add 'em up and get back to me, cheers!
"What's funny about rich people complaining that poor people don't work and are a drain on society is that every rich person does negative work.
That is, it takes far more work to accommodate their life than their labor could possibly produce. They are the real drain on society."
~Existential Comics
Well said, Jamenta!
Bingo!

What, the “Red Scare” thang again?
Gee, I remember that back in the ‘60’s.
I’m shakin’ in my cowgirl boots 😂

Maybe the bigger concern was the capitalist greed scare which nobody noticed as long as they could keep buying their cars and big houses.

Brilliantly done. Thank you.
