Thread: The Libyan Crisis

One way or another, the constant refrain of "it's all about the oil" is about as credible as the "humanitarian intervention" line; they are both equivalent to the slogans and jingles and logos that corporations use to sell their shit, mainly because they are designed to fit the media that propagate them.

Left and right hands grasped firmly together to shake on the oversimplifications they each assume are necessary for communicating with the common man in contemporary democracies.


Surely in discussions like these, P2P as it were, the media slogans are not necessary; unless of course the assumption of near-idiocy is correct on the parts of the media, the governments and the rest of our "betters".
