Great piece overall— would add as an addendum that it's very informative who the US does *not^ encourage to rebel against oppression— the Palestinians, Lebanese, Egyptians, etc.
my new piece in FP: The US keeps telling people to rise up against their regimes, then leaving them to die. Hungary, Iraq, Syria...now Iran? I try to offer an explanation for this very consistent pattern. (gift link) foreignpolicy.com/2026/01/16/t...

Ms Rachel: “You can’t bomb a child’s home, kill their family members, bomb their schools, bomb their hospitals, and then say they’re just gonna live in tents now that are cold and leaking… You can’t just kill 20,000 children.”

I see the liberals are doing Russiagate 2.0 to try and cover for the fact that this is what America has been since it’s inception and that the Democrats have been complicit in the white supremacist state that is now being fully enacted around us.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

If you're a liberal who actually subscribe to the values which liberalism purports to be about, and more importantly you universalize them without racial exemption, then it's actually pretty easy to be right about Palestine. A lot of liberals are of course not capable of that sadly. Some are though!

Zusammenfassung: Seit 1990 hat sich die Produktivität pro Arbeitsstunde verdoppelt und der Anteil der ärmeren 50% am Gesamtvermögen hat sich halbiert, während die reichere Hälfte der Vermögensverteilung ihr Vermögen ungefähr verdoppelt hat. Und von den oberen 1% reden wird besser gleich gar nicht.
