Dying For The Empire Is Not Heroic

Dying For The Empire Is Not Heroic: Dying (and killing) for the Empire is not heroic. Allowing yourself to be ordered to intervene in distant conflicts you surely don’t understand is not worthy of admiration. What’s heroic is resisting the Empire.

Our Much-Vaunted "Freedom Of The Press" In The USA

The general mindlessness in choosing a stock photo is what makes them so pernicious. Editors reach for an image that captures the overall theme of the article while drawing the eye of distracted media consumers—typically as an afterthought, something that accents a piece rather than defines it.

What has been happening in the U.S. since 2000 has been the resurgence into the open of the white supremacy that has always been at the core of this country's spirit. The efforts of Emerson, Whitman, Melville, Thoreau, James Baldwin, Malcolm and Martin to re-invent America were Herculean, but they failed. In the period from 1965 to 1975, a rising generation of American youth tried to “march to the beat of a different drummer,” but they too failed. They failed because of the worm deep in the core of the American apple. Robert Bellah named this worm back in the 1970’s “The Broken Covenant.” No one reads his book anymore because we’re all too busy trying to make America great again.



Malcolm reached out to a larger world and paid for it with his life.

Still, a dream, a mythos persists in the face of the overwhelming facts of history.

Attribution Bias

Why It's So Hard to Understand That the Violence Your Country Exports Is Terrorism @alternet: Attribution bias is a familiar theme in the literature of modern psychology. “I do not understand the squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes. It would spread a lively terror.”—Winston Churchill, 1920, with regard to the uprising in Iraq.
