      A new cohort of emotionally unstable journalists are leveraging the moral panic that has erupted in the past several weeks to seize power within their respective media institutions. And their insane tactics are working. It’s a total nightmare scenario:https://unherd.com/2020/06/how-us-journalism-lost-its-spine …

      > the moral panic that has erupted in the past several weeks Past several weeks is overly modest. The project is years in the making and btw is fully compatible with the politics of the vast majority of 'radical left,' 'anti-imperialist' types as much as with the DNC

      The correction most anti-imperialists want to make is that the crucial monad and site of racialization is the state and not the individual. It plays out the same except the US, Israel, NATO etc are 'white' and 'western' whereas China, NK, Iran etc are racialized victim states.

      And yet they didn't. The neocons lost the zeitgeist resoundingly after Iraq and Katrina. Their heyday was very brief and they are no longer a force in politics. Routine spectacles re Iran and VZ are about shoring up the status quo ante.

      Can you explain this to a layperson?

      You know how every two years for the past twenty years there's been an imminent war between Iran and the US that never happens? At some point you have to accept that there is no will in DC to transform these societies by military force.

      Not the neoconservative agenda. Neocons are all about transforming the world for the better using direct and spectacular US military force *instead of* diplomacy - W's "shock and awe" doctrine. It got us two losing wars and destroyed US protestantism in the process.

          I'm sorry to keep asking questions. How did it destroy US protestantism?
