Graeber is dead wrong on this. It wasn't the antiwar movement in the US that caused "Vietnam Syndrome" - being militarily defeated by a nation the US viewed as "inferior" did.
And it also wasn't 9/11 that overcame "Vietnam Syndrome" - the invasion of Panama and the first Gulf War did that.
If the antiwar movement in the US achieved anything, it was to provide the US military with a pretext - ie, somebody to blame - for extracting themselves from a war they had decisively lost.
Only man?
Gross.
That term refers to the extremes of the political spectrum I was referring to
If your "political spectrum" classifies the literally LEAST extremist political ideology as "extremist" it probably means you need something better than the "political spectrum," no?
Nothing new about this - the Viet Cong used this tactic. They'd memorise the names of US/ARVN collaborators in their own towns and villages in case they were ever captured and were forced to give up names under torture.
This way, the CIA death squads would end up murdering their own informant network.
There's no point in merely making political points any longer - you have to use their own systems to hurt them.
The liberals are in the process of stealing the word "radical" from us as well.
Anarchy will always be the extreme left into the political pendulum.
There is absolutely nothing "extreme left" about anarchism - you are literally engaging in the same false framing liberals and fascists are engaging in.
Anarchism is radical - not extreme. Understand the difference. It is not "further left" than basic socialism is. It never has been.
That's not going to work. To make it work, you need to be reporting people who aren't well-known - ie, like the overt white supremacists in your own town.
I'd rather not. Talking to liberals is migraine-inducing.
If you don't know what the term "radical" means, at least have the courtesy to not use it in sentences.
Blamed by WHOM?
"The Weimar Republic, Germany's 12-year experiment with ~~democracy~~ liberalism, came to an end after the Nazis came to power
FTFY. Liberalism is anti-democratic and inevitably leads to fascism when it fails to protect the capitalists' precious status quo.
President of what?
You need to make those eye-holes bigger.
