ACK! What did I just do?
Convective contrarian thought on the 'no blood for oil' nonsense.
In previous item I debunked one end of this nonsense, but there's a similar problem on the other end.
Progressives used to be loudly anti-war when the war was owned by a Repooflican, and quiet on the subject when the war was owned by a Democrat.
Now Progressives are TOTALLY PRO-WAR without any partisan branding. Even the wars that are owned by Trump are NECESSARY AND HOLY. This is genuinely unprecedented.
Cognitive Dissonance:
All wars are necessary! Bomb everything down to bedrock (except Saudi and Israel)!
VERSUS
No blood for oil! Stop the war!
What's the solution to this dilemma? Understand the FACT that our wars are AGAINST oil.
In other words, modern wars are Gaian. The Planet Goddess says that oil is bad, so we are making war to halt all oil production (except Saudi, which is automatically holy).
Shit. I've given the enemy a way to avoid their own dilemma and clean up their CD. Shit.
