Once again, Geneva's normally decent political instincts end up running the wrong way, and is why Geneva should read anti-imperialist theory if Geneva wants to understand how the world works. Attacking Iran is a bipartisan project decades in the making. Trump does not need a distraction from the Epstein files, this was always intended to happen, and by shifting the blame to trying to distract from the Epstein files you miss how this is advancing very rational imperialist goals of eradicating any resistance to western plundering in the middle East.

I hate the argument of "just read theory!" As much as I believe one should read theory, just telling people to do so won't make it happen. However, there are clear limits to political instincts without solid backing in political theory and this is a prime example of it.

Y’all need to get a grip and understand attacking Iran has been in the plan for Israel for 50 years. This isn’t a distraction it’s literally a part of the plan.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah but how did Israel get the US to attack Iran?

And we're back to the meme.

[–] MidWestKhagan@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Israel and America are the same entity, Israel doesn’t do anything without America’s go ahead. Yes it’s been in the plan for Israel but it’s also what America wants. Remember why they overthrew the Iranian government in the first place that lead to this.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Israel would ditch America in a heartbeat if ever convenient for them.

I feel like it's geopolitics first, Epstein or not the US elite wants this because Iran questions their hegemony

Fucking American exceptionalism, as if everything is about Americans and nothing else

It always cracks me up how liberals lose their sanity every time they’re faced with reality

Yes, the USA started a war with Iran because they wanted to distract from the Epstein files lmfao.

Have you even stopped to apply one second of critical thought to your own beliefs? No, the world doesn’t work the way you think it does, so reality just be wrong, not your precious fairy tales.

So you sink further into these hysterics, you can’t explain it, and honestly you’d rather live peacefully under Nazis than have to deal with the mental burden of understanding reality, so here you are.

You don’t give a shit about fascists, you prefer fascism. You are fascist yet will lie through your teeth and insist you’re a good person.

That’s all you are, fascists wearing blue MAGA hats instead of red.

I'd agree if Epstein Files were only involving Americans, which is definitely far from being the case

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

dIsTraCting FrOm thE epStein Files. they won’t suffer any consequences until they are dragged out of power & they know this won’t happen any time soon.

these usians are so self centered they think the fascist empire murders dissidents worldwide and topples entire countries because of them.

and in their own fanfics, they are so dumb they can’t pay attention to two things at once.

Now everyone is talking about him killing children.

Genius!

It's not a distraction from Epstein, this is Epstein. It's all fucking Epstein. Epstein and his pedophile friends are the imperialist class behind these attacks, they destroyed the Soviet Union to gain access to millions of underage prostitutes and they destroy the rest of the world to serve their god, Death.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

Distilled facts.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago

Next week they'll release some more Epstein Files to distract us from how many Iranian civilians we've liberated by killing them.

[–] godisidog@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

I don't agree with the idea that this is all a distraction

Amerikans just love war

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago

Begun the Epstein Wars has.

[–] ComRed@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Sir, another distraction has hit the epstein files.

[–] cornishon@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Americans famously have goldfish memory when it comes to any kind of political events, so in a sense any event is a distraction from the previous event for them.

Sir you've.. uh.. shit your pants again. In fact, sir, you're shitting right now.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Until now, anyways. Release the Epstein files and arrest those involved in the rapes of girls.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorta kinda convinced Bibi has him by the balls a bit, and they would've released some "spicier" files had he not made the move against Iran (at least some Israeli newspapers point in that direction). So, this is not just to calm things at home regarding the existing files but also a move that prevents further revelations, at least for the time being.

[–] obey@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 day ago

Bibi has him. Probably got more stuff than official epstein files contain. I mean what is epstein files? Just some gmail account. It’s just a distraction from real shiz
