Right, I’m not saying she somehow was working behind the scenes to provoke an attack, just that at a time when she was being pressured by people like Milton Friedman to privatize-max, she couldn’t just make British taxpayers buckle down for austerity for seemingly no reason. The war then became a “good” reason to justify people contributing to the war effort. At least that’s my understanding from Naomi Klein’s “The Shock Doctrine.”

Above and beyond to prevent war is a misleading simplification…
Oh yes, 100%. Just another case of regular people being used as pawns for the interests of the elite ig
I thought the whole Falkland Islands war in the 80s was mainly as an outlet for Thatcher to rally people behind and justify austerity, which was wanted by the neoliberal admin to distract from the privatization making things more expensive.
Idk, while yes trump is delusional, I can think of a lot more unfit politicians for high office than fit ones.
I think I’m thinking of the same thing, and it turns out the “aliens” that the WH was referring to were the “illegal immigrants” taking all the jobs or whatever tf. Disgusting behavior. On the official WH site!!
Competition?? Under capitalism?? Disgusting!!!
