Silence on Ukraine

My silence about the Ukraine war is sorrow for the complete collapse of American journalism and most of the academic community, both institutions which should know much better and entities America relies on for accurate information. We are being fed complete lies. This really is something Orwell described best. And this time the fascists really are fascists, really are American and those who could say something and don't are cowardly grifters. The rest is just parrot talk. This will not end well for the United States, only for the hyper-capitalists among us who are busy wrecking our currency now.

America has proved that its culture is so bebased that it could not imagine any future but a new Cold War. How pathetically vicious.
