It may come as a surprise, but I'm not talking to you at all. In the sense that I'm attacking you point of view. I'm attacking the media coverage of makebelief that leads to selective perception. And the idiotic approach of our politicians not looking at what they actually are supporting or condemning.
I was 16 when the Afghani madness started. Only I didn't see it that way back then, since it was hammered into our heads that every Mujahedin is fighting the evil empire and is only out to free their people. Among them such august factions as the Taliban and persons like Bin Laden.
I still feel betrayed by the bullshit we were fed and I'm certainly not buying every load of media feces being thrown our way now. Truth is, there's next to no coverage on the Saudis bombing Jemen back into the stone age or Erdogan having it out with the Kurds.
