You do not defeat reactionaries that are ready to kill whoever they please and unseat a despot by playing fair. You can prove they lied infinite times and expose their corruption as much as you like, but they'll keep at it with the *power* they hold through *force*.

The respectability policing that goes on after cops or federal agents (who are also cops, y'all) kill someone is always unbearable. Dissecting the actions of the victim, putting them on trial when they cannot defend themselves, declaring they should have done this or that. Did they deserve to die?!

Relatedly, the low-grade but ever-present scourges of lead paint, lead pipes and asbestos are things you'd think we'd just decide to enact broad-based efforts to erase from civilization (as opposed to just ban for future use, as we largely have), but we mostly, uh…don't.

Trump is the first president to claim he did an invasion for oil to cover for his actual motive
Trump didn't wage war in Venezuela to advance the oil lobby's interests. His motives appear much less coherent -- and more superficial -- than that www.vox.com/politics/473...

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason
