Peace as Euphemism


Pay close attention, his talk, is to say the least despicable: arrogant, homophobic, racist. The institutions he employs, either directly as allies or indirectly as prototypes of mimesis for a systemic organization of what he is essentially envisioning as a Bureau of War; are an extent of the very same forces that continue to bring down the world, create inequalities and prolong the gap between the richer and the poorest: NATO, UNSC, G20, ICC... Please! Barnett's vision remains the panamerican RAMBO even if it is an older, maturer, botoxed Stalone with a dissociative identity disorder.

What a schmuck. I can't believe he was applauded by all those pro-military dick-geeks in there and the bunch of commentators on the thread that developed below went as far as to argue whether his vision is feasible or not, even those who argue against it only because it's drying up the country's resources. This has been the most uncritical thread to develop under a most important issue presented as a comic relief by the semi-authoritative Barnett. What a caricature of liberal democracy at its best: "we're gonna fuck the world with it's consent and we're gonna place more of those institutions funded directly by the interests of the world bank, the weapon industry, oil companies and what not."
