Nothing demonstrates the hypocrisy of the "rules-based order" faster than seeing its enforcers shocked when the same rules of imperial force are directed at them.

People like Canada's Mark Carney are crying foul about the demise of the ârules-based orderâ now, over fucking Greenland, and not over the whole Palestinian genocide he just merrily supplied and supported, or any number of atrocities Canada has been involved in, including Canada. White people really want to do crime and high-fives for confessing. I hope America does take Canada, to cure them of their delusion of being the âgood guysâ of colonialism. I say this as a passport-carrying Canadian.
Carney's âspeech of the centuryâ isn't worth the dust on a Palestinian fighter's sandals. His resistance isn't worth a drop of sweat from the actual resistance, which Canada still condemns as terrorists. Canada is still on America's side in every imperial war, they're not on our side at all. Remember that Canada is a card-carrying member of the White Empire and is only complaining now that its white privileges are being threatened. Remember that Carney was Central Banker for the UK also, he's a ripe example of how Canada is not a real country and how the White Empire is one.
What he's complaining about here is not a loss of human rights but white privilege. The privilege to invade other people but to keep your own stolen home. Even within the speech, Carney is proudly talking about funding the corrupt Ukrainian dictatorship, all to further American interests. He's only complaining now that America is interested in his territory, he has no actual principles. Carney is still part of the imperial tail proudly wagging even as the big dog shits on them. Carney just another historical vandal trying to white himself out of history as White Empire becomes a scandal to white people. As Aimé Césaire said,
What he cannot forgive [Trump] for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the âcooliesâ of India, and the âniggersâ of Africa... And that is the great thing I hold against pseudo-humanism.
It's honestly funny watching these colonizers scurry for cover as they discover that they're Euro-peons and the 51st State to Americans. âThe Coalition of The Willingâ is baffled that the country that invaded so many countries with might turn around and invade them. Remember that colonizers always lie and hide in abstractions, there's no general principle at work here, it's just the usual racism.
Hence, Carney proposes a whites-only non-aligned movement like he just came up with the idea of âmiddle powers,â when he could just join colored people. But he won't. Canada still supports America's war against Russia, still exploits Africa via mining, and still backs the death cult 'Israel'. Canada has no problem with white supremacism as long as it benefits them. That's the only principle at play here, they only speak out when it threatens their capital. As CĂ©saire said, continuing,
And that is the great thing I hold against pseudo-humanism: that for too long it has diminished the rights of man, that its concept of those rights has beenâand still isânarrow and fragmentary, incomplete and biased and, all things considered, sordidly racist.
Mark Carney is just another hand-wringing White guy, his hands dripping with blood and his mouth redolent with bullshit. As CĂ©saire said (honestly, just read Discourse On Colonialism), âBefore they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples.â
Even worse is the Kingdom of Denmark, which is further up shit creek and furiously peddling bullshit. Their Ambassador to the US, Jesper Moller Sorensen, piously and pathetically said, âThe Kingdom of Denmark has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder w. [the USA] After 9/11, Denmark answered the US' call. We lost more soldiers in Afghanistan per capita than any other NATO ally.â
He's seriously saying we helped you occupy non-Europeans, why would you do it to us? Their Ambassador is fondly remembering the murder tour they took of Afghanistan together, and wondering where the bromance has gone. These people are not mourning the loss of the ârules-based orderâ here, they're bemoaning the fact that the actual rules might apply to them. That they might be invaded because they're weak, despite their White skin. Europeans are discovering they're the rump end of White Empire, as they get slapped across their dumbasses.
These washed-up colonizers really thought they were wolves and not sheep dipped in blood. But, in truth, Europe was just a place for America to launder money and weapons through. Denmark folded in six hours in World War II and Canada just goes wherever the imperial banners are called, these are not real countries on their own. All of these countries have been occupied by America since World War II and only got to participate in further wars like a kid in the back of the car, tooting on a toy steering wheel while running poor Muslims over. Now they're confused that âDaddyâ is yelling at them, when they used to have so much fun killing pedestrians together. As NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte pathetically said about Trump, âDaddy has to sometimes use strong language.â
Let us be historically clear. It is all one White Empire and always was, if you ask us at the bottom. Europeans were always passing our lands around to be raped and fighting amongst themselves over it, there's nothing new under the sun. The solar poor (hence white) have been robbing the solar poor since they first colonized the world with renewable power. What we have now is one of those periodic fights within White Empire and I, for one, am here for it. The more they're fighting each other, the less they're fighting us.
And let us be historically specific, America is cannibalizing the Greater White Empire because it has lost the world. The great game is Asia, which America is retreating from, tail slung. They're losing a land war to Russia, lost a naval war to Yemen, lost air supremacy to Iran, and lost a trade war to China. L after L abroad requires a few Ws at home. That's why they're turtling up in the Americas and biting Europe in the ass now. The great game is already lost and they're going after consolation prizes closer to home.
America is like a guy who can't win any fights at the bar so they go home and beat their wife. That's why Emmanuel Macron (of France) is wearing sunglasses. They can't win any wars abroad, so they're cannibalizing the White Empire. Just read Macron's pathetic texts messages to Trump, harking back to the good times when they were killing Arabs side by side.
This is why I have no praise for these wolves crying wolf now. They're still colonizers through and through. Take the craven Carney (please), getting credit for saying the Emperor has no clothes after jerking him off for so long. Carney's own speech starts with the usual anti-communism, acting like âworkers of the world uniteâ and âAmerican hegemonyâ are equally bad signs to hang in a window. However, while the fall of the USSR was a tragedy, the fall of the USA is a farce. And it's fitting that it's finally falling on its allies.
As Malcolm X said, chickenhawks coming home to roost never made me sad, on the contrary, it always makes me glad. So hear the wolves now crying wolf, and ignore them. Death to Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, France, and all colonizers, and long live the actual Resistance, which persists. These crocodiles crying their crocodile tears as they become handbags aren't worth the hem on Sinwar's shroud.
The task of the left, of all anti-imperialists, is to oppose U.S. aggression around the world. A military attack against Iran is imminent and cannot be opposed on theoretical grounds. The people ofâŠ

The US is funding a genocide. Of course we all know that, but how many of us know about Sudan?
