Caitlin Johnstone
“ You get a lot of moral clarity when you realize that the US government is the most despotic and corrupt regime on the entire planet by a very wide margin. This clarity informs your perspective in a way that helps you see through a lot of the propaganda narratives that are laid over the public’s vision about what’s going on in our world.
Examples of “seeing through a lot”:
"But your belief would have been proven wrong. You got that belief from the worldview you hold and the media you consume. If they were wrong about an invasion tonight, it's a safe bet that they were wrong about a lot of other things."

China and Taiwan
"I’m genuinely disturbed at how many people would be willing to fight a world war over Taiwan’s governmental preferences. "
"The decision to go to war with China would be the single most important and consequential decision ever made in human history. You’d have to weigh it against millions to billions of deaths. Defending Taiwan’s preference of government clearly wouldn’t weigh enough to justify that cost."
