Sadly.
And yes, state-sponsored domestic terrorism is here and now.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Patriotism of the nationalistic type, so far from being taught in schools, ought to be mentioned as a form of mass-hysteria to which men are unfortunately liable, and against they need to be fortified both intellectually and morally. Nationalism is undoubtedly the most dangerous vice of our time.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 10 “Patriotism in Education” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/848…

A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168More about this quote: wist.info/commager-henry-steel…

I think one must engage in politics — using the word in a wide sense — and that one must have preferences: that is, one must recognise that some causes are objectively better than others, even if they are advanced by equally bad means. As for the nationalistic loves and hatreds that I have spoken of, they are part of the make-up of most of us, whether we like it or not. Whether it is possible to get rid of them I do not know, but I do believe that it is possible to struggle against them, and that this is essentially a moral effort. It is a question first of all of discovering what one really is, what one’s own feelings really are, and then of making allowance for the inevitable bias.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]

Approximately 40,000 Australians "served" in Afghanistan and 17,000 in Iraq, assisting with and participating in US war crimes. WHY???

A quotation from George Orwell
By “nationalism” I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labeled “good” or “bad.” But secondly — and this is much more important — I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests.

"Kaiju Armageddon", in which a group of Extremely American oil roughnecks have 12 days to learn to speak Japanese, operate a Japanese crab-fishing ship, and sail that into battle against Godzilla. They are helped in the third act by the sudden appearance of Ben Affleck, the Harbinger of Stupidity, and some very powerful power ballads.

The world needs social sovereignty | Mastodon Blog | Fediverse’s 800g Gorilla calls for local platforms, for local people…
Because of course what the world really needs is balkanized discourse policed by local law enforcement:
“The term digital sovereignty means that an institution has autonomy and control over the critical digital infrastructure, data, and services that make up their online presence. Up until this point, social media has not been a part of this conversation. We think it is time to change that.”

NiemanLab: Nine months later, that body of water down south is still the “Gulf of Mexico” to news outlets. “The news cycle has very much moved on; Trump leaves reporters no shortage of things to write about. But I wanted to check in and see how much ‘Gulf of America’ had stuck in news media. The answer is: not very much.”

A quotation from Terence Dicks
THE BRIGADIER: Well, naturally enough, the only country that could be trusted with such a role was Great Britain.
