If we imagine the 'wings' of the so-called political spectrum as an actual wingspan, say, that of an albatross, then the US political spectrum appears from afar to have the wingspan of a hummingbird, and that hummingbird is hovering pretty close to the far end of the albatross' right wing.

Their emotions (i.e. conscience) are not to get in the way of their judgment - a useful edict if you've been assigned to do nefarious shit. And what harm is a little mind trick on a civilian here and there? They're just pawns.

Tasked with settling disputes and protecting regimes that uphold the hegemony of the Republic (which doesn't always neatly map but at various times is a stand-in for the US, the UN, or the broader, supposedly liberal-democratic, West).

Excerpt from NY Mag article "Everyone is cheating their way through college": “College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point,” a student in Utah recently captioned a video of herself copy-and-pasting a chapter from her Genocide and Mass Atrocity textbook into ChatGPT.
This article has been doing the rounds, but this is the line that stuck with me in particular. It encapsulates so many things about the present. archive.ph/DzOE6
