“The essential thing is the interplay between fatality, technology, and capitalism” set the stage for nationalism/the modern nation. Excerpts from one of my favourite books Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism

“This would not explain why two highly trained, US former special forces soldiers climbed into that boat on a quest to "liberate" a country that was not theirs.” Well, they were former American special forces. The American regime has been doing its best to ‘liberate’ other countries. Many American soldiers and many Americans believe in that mission. Despite the crimes and the criminal consequences of training death squads to invasions and toppling of even democratically-elected presidents, the ideological belief is still there. The American regime would be very happy if the plot against Maduro succeeded. One has just to look at a very recent coup, the one in Bolivia. Even the BBC’s tone would be different. Liberals would disagree with the capture or assassination of the president, but once the dust settles down “democratic elections”, “stability” and “liberal democracy” would be the talk of the day.  A ‘bizzare’ plot to capture a president

In the process of liberating other people, especially women, in a faraway country from bearded “terrorists”/“insurgents”, some of our heroic boys exercising their duty under extreme pressure make mistakes. When Muslims attack us in Paris or London, they are terrorists and Jihadis. A flood of articles, hourly updates and eye-witnesses’ accounts, repeated news items and pictures, When “our soldiers” (good Jihadis) execute civilians they act in “self-defence” and barely anyone hears about it. Did UK Special Forces execute unarmed civilians?
