Does it not strike you as odd that whenever their is a protest in favor of US domination and the overthrow of a supposedly oppressive regimes, the protestors are generally carrying signs in English?
I don't know, man, when I was protesting against ACTA I was carrying signs in English too. And that was in Poland. This might be related to the idea that once you're protesting, you want international media to pick up the story.
Or, maybe this whole anti-ACTA thing was US-inspired and played right into the hands of our reptilian overlords.
So, your protest against ACTA was legitimate (true).
And so it follows that US imperialism doesn't exist and that the US gov't never uses local people to further the interests of the US gov't...
No, what follows is that the "they have signs in English, and that means the protests must have been US-funded/influenced/etc" line of "reasoning" is bollocks.
It isn't bollocks, at all. English signs on cnn that just happen to match the pentagon's war propaganda are obviously suspect...except for biased people or people in the payroll of the pentagon.
Not saying US imperialism doesn't exist. But people having signs in English on a protest somewhere in Nowheristan is not proof. Not even close.
The signs are not proof of american imperialism. The signs are proof of the kind of 'conspiracy' that people partial to the american government deny. American imperialism doesn't need any kind of subtle 'proofs'. It's part of all fucking history books since 1776. " reptilian overlords." Don't you have anything better than that?
