Hello and welcome to Colonial Outcast, the anti-imperials podcast, your libertarian uncle,

especially on this episode, will absolutely hate. And as bad as things seem right now,

just remember if someone out there somewhere is going through a libertarian phase,

and nothing makes sense to them. Why are we going to war with Venezuela?

Have we learned nothing from Iraq? Why do we need to saber rattle at Mexico talk about invasion

while the Atlas Network, a free market libertarian 501 organization with formal affiliations

with right-wing Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego

funds and organizes literally a boomer-led color revolution protest against Cloudius Shinebom's

government under the guise of a Gen Z uprising. Why are we going to become engaged in military

action, high visibility, or clandestine inside Nigeria?

Is it really about saving Christians? Why did the UN just adopt Trump's 20-point Gaza development

plan, sorry, peace plan, which enshrines perpetual colonial occupation? Why was a former

al-Qaeda lieutenant in Iraq who killed U.S. troops in the 2000s just hosted in the White House last week, literally on Veterans Day.

And why is the Trump administration about to sign a defense pact with Saudi Arabia that would commit U.S. troops to defend Riyadh and leave U.S. taxpayers footing the bill?

It's a crazy and confusing world out there with a bunch of random stuff happening for no reason, out of nowhere.

And you'd only actually believe that if you don't understand how capitalism works.

Will it destroy the planet and betray us and kill us all?

Maybe that's up to us.

But it is working exactly as it's designed to work.

We are watching the logical conclusion of a suicidal end-stage capitalism where there is

nothing left for the ruling class to do but start more extractive wars, crush any progressive

movement, and plunder the government before it all comes crashing down. So that's fun,
