(Flawed) Anarchist ⚑<p>No, JFK. Fuck you. Yes, God damn America.<br>--</p><p>I agree with the underlying spirit of Jeremiah Wright & obviously I disagree with the shameless gaslighting & lies of JFK.</p><p>Having said that, I disagree with an important element in the Jeremiah Wright argument too (altho I like the conclusions he has drawn, but his argument has a fundamental problem).</p><p>Let me explain.</p><p>JFK was an ex-OG-Hitler regime lover & a bullshit merchant of ruling class. He is the persona created by ruling class Public Relations team. Him asking you to tell what you can do for "Country", what he means, what more can you do so those control State can leech off you even more. Thats an attempt at shifting the blame onto those who have no real power, most of us, except economically enslaving ourselves (or) look down upon those who are in worse situation than us (which is the most common trait incentivized by the rotten incentives ruling class systems encourage & reward).</p><p>Jeremiah Wright (with whose spirit I whole heartedly agree) on the otherhand, makes a bad assumption that State (Colonial/Imperial/Anti-Colonial/Anti-Imperial/any other form) exist to serve peasants. This is never true in history, not even once in history.</p><p>Reality is, we all exist to serve the State. State the abstraction of dominant class interests in society. who accumulate (or) enjoy a large share of our labour & our shared resources. State the ultimate goon & parasite of dominant class interests.</p><p>PS: JFK was executed by State/Country because there were forces within State apparatus (spooks & other vested interests) who thought he being the Emperor was not criminal enough to be allowed to sit on the Emperor's throne. So, they executed him.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/lebanon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>lebanon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/iran" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>iran</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/syria" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>syria</span></a></span> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/iran" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iran</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a></p>
