Refreshing how. It just means they believe they are beyond any repercussions for saying the quiet part out loud. I don't understand how fascists being honest is better for anyone.

It strengthens everything marxists have ever said and weakens liberals. The left is going to grow.

It's also generally a weaker way to do imperialism, the resistance in Venezuela will be stronger, unity will be higher, and "fuck the US" energy will be larger. Liberals would have done the exact same list of demands but kept this behind closed doors leading to a significantly more divided opponent.

The US empire has ceased trying to manufacture consent for their imperialist wars of aggression. This is in large part because they're no longer able to do so. The unipolar moment is over and we're witnessing a crumbling empire lash out in its final push for hegemony.

Oh no, they are definitely manufacturing consent. Now it's the liberal media that's doing the double work because the conservative media has gone full mask off.

Neoliberal mainstream media go brrrrr. The state isn't bothering to hide behind it any longer. Everything Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Miller say contradicts what is being published in these rags.
