The Empire Stole Venezuela: JOHNSTONE December 25
DOPEY right wingers who learned the phrase "Monroe Doctrine" like ten seconds ago have been mindlessly parroting those words to defend Trump's Venezuela assault, and what's grating about it is they actually think they're talking about a real thing.
They're like, "No no it was totally legit, see there's this thing called the Monroe Doctrine which says we get to control everything that happens in the western hemisphere and treat half the planet like it's our own personal property."
Really the Monroe Doctrine was just racist US imperialists telling racist European imperialists 200 years ago that the everyone and everything in Latin America belongs to Washington. They were saying "See these brown people over here? These are our brown people. They belong to us. You're welcome to use and exploit the brown people in Asia and Africa all you want, but these brown people are ours. Only we get to use them."
The briefest moment of critical thought would immediately tell anyone that the Monroe Doctrine has always been made-up nonsense, but these bleating human livestock can't even be bothered with that. They're just yelling "Monroe Doctrine! Monroe Doctrine!" like a bunch of trained parrots without the slightest thought as to what it is they're actually saying.
It's exactly the same as me writing on a piece of paper "Everyone on my street has to do what I say; I control everyone and everything on this street and I get to decide what happens in all these houses and who lives where," and then calling it The Johnstone Doctrine and and flapping it in my neighbors' faces it like it's a valid legal document.
It's just some bullshit made up by dead assholes two centuries ago. The fact that they called it a "doctrine" doesn't make it any more legitimate than if some schmuck wrote it on Twitter today and called it The Monroe Tweet, or said it on TikTok and called it The Monroe TikTok Video. Nothing about it constitutes a valid argument for why it's fine to invade a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader to steal the country's oil. It's the same as just saying "Yeah we stole Venezuela because we wanted to."
Pathetic NPCs. Unthinking empire automatons. It's so gross when someone opens their mouth to speak and nothing comes out but bullshit they were trained to say by the most powerful people in the world.
