- Whenever any government of a former European or American colony tries to improve the lives of its poor majority
- The U.S. will accuse it of being socialist, communist, or terrorist.
- It will support local elite forces defending their own riches and privilege
- While intervening on behalf of those local rich to fix elections, fund death squads, assassins, and paramilitaries
- To thwart the programs in question and remove their proponents from positions of influence.
That is what the U.S. does in the world. It's the pattern behind practically all its wars. The details vary but are nearly irrelevant. It's the pattern that leads those concerned with social justice to a simple preliminary conclusion, "If the US. Is against them (e.g., Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Yemen, . . ..) they must be doing something right. It's a rule of thumb.
Conclusion
My own bottom line here is that adopting a position of what Dr. Lynch calls "humility" and self-doubt plays directly into the hands of the powers that be. It leads to adopting a typical "liberal" position of supposed neutrality that holds, for instance, that the government, the CIA, the FBI, the Supreme Court can (at least sometimes) be trusted to be similarly neutral. Such trust always ends up siding with the status quo.
In reality, none of the institutions just mentioned can be trusted. Their minions are not on our side. They are not our friends. It's their job to lie to us and to misrepresent their real agenda in the world. And, very simply, that agenda is to keep the money and the power where it is.
Instead of humility, the liberals addressed by Dr. Lynch and the NEUROPSYCH article need boldness. That includes COMPLETE SKEPTICISM about anything the Powers that Be tell us - including, of course, the MSM.
Moreover, liberals-turned-radicals need our echo chambers. They encourage us, i.e., they give us courage to take a stand against the patterns endemic to the imperialism, racism, and white supremacy that govern our world. Though everybody knows those patterns subconsciously, they need to be identified and denounced out loud and without ceasing.
Yes, you and I know more than they want us to think. We already know how the world works.
