Attack the System- What comes after the left / right paradigm, if anything? 18th September 2020This is what our “antifascists” need to be focused on, not the shenanigans of some carnival barker like Trump. Wrench in the Gears I asked this question on social media today and got quite a few very thoughtful replies. One person asked me what led me to ask the question, and this was my response: […]Keith Preston
- On foreign policy, Biden is worse than Trump 18th September 2020The money quote: Because most Americans are self-centered and unconcerned about brown people in other nations, it’s ridiculous yet necessary to remind you that the Afghans we bomb are real people like you and me, that Iraqis are scarred for life when their children are hobbled by American bullets, that Yemenis cry for their dead […]Keith Preston
- The Persistent Myth That Trump Opposes War 18th September 2020By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Whenever I criticize the foreign policy of the current US administration, I always get some pushback from Trump supporters who insist that this president is doing more good than harm by “fighting the Deep State” and, even more commonly, by “keeping us out of wars”. This notion that Donald Trump is […]Keith Preston
