A holy war is being waged with American bombs. The Pentagon, the Senate, and the pulpit are all singing from the same hymnal. This isn't hypocrisy. It's sincerity.
Cheeto And Ritual Humiliation: Understanding Fascist Leaders
In a wonderful conversation between two historians and heroes of mine, Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Tim Snyder(https://bit.ly/4lcOvUc) take a look at past fascistic regimes and compare it to the current regime
The common theme of fascist leaders is that they are all malignant narcissists which means they are social psychopaths that don’t care at all for the people they represent as the leader of their societal governments As Snyder points out, the people of the electorate are treated not as humans but as objects to be used and discarded at the psychopaths whim
Which then led to the theme of ritual humiliation The sociopath is not satisfied in just firing people but in humiliating them on the way out Take Noem for example She learns about her firing on Truth Social after she gave a speech to a group of MAGA supporters Or the military in general Treated as objects who gave their lives for the country only now to have GI benefits pulled away from them It’s the ultimate fuck you And in a show of humiliating loyalty the recipient says on the way out “Thank you dear leader"
Cheeto hates Americans because WE the People are a constant threat to his power Figuratively he will end up like Mussolini hanging dead upside down at a gas station in Milan That’s what Cheeto is scared of And he should be
Mango Mussolini is becoming just as tiring and by the end the people will be so fucking sick of him and his destructive gravity that they will worship the day he is gone from the narrative.
I don't know what the big attraction is in framing it as a war of a "good" religion against an "evil" religion. What is this, the Middle Ages? It was for the Iraqis--during that war, they called us the Crusaders. Maybe the Iranians are doing the same now. Are they wrong?

Just like Mussolini.
