I've finished this book and now i understand so much about why many things in american politics that seemed bizzare were the way they were. It explains so much about american polityI want to read more books that will explain a lot about the nature of the world or those that give a different perspective on established facts. What are some books like that?
>>18242349>any things in american politics that seemed bizzareLike what?
>>18242349Yeah, we got super rich and decided it doesn't matter foreigners run all of our largest corporations (which are multinational and not American anymore, we are owned/controlled) and foreign governments lobby all of our politicians. Americans are probably going to turn violent soon since they're messing with our money now which is the only thing that actually matters now. But to answer your question another couple of good books for insight into how American cultural dynamics/politics work are Albion's Seed by David Hackett Fischer and Degler's America: Out of Our Past, both do a good job staying non-biased and aren't chudded out or pushy leftist shit, just dense with information about how America works the way it does behind the scenes
>>18242353>Americans are probably going to turn violent soonYou won't do shit.
>>18242352Not OP but as an American you'd have to be stupid not to realize we have just let Israel take the wheel for the past 50-70ish years>Orchestrating a coup with the UK in the 50s on Iran cuz of "muh oil" (Israel wanted this to have a friendly controlled ally in the region as a hedge against Arabs)>Letting the USS Liberty be destroyed and accepting it was an accident (Israel was already entrenched)>The Islamic Revolution happening in response to increasing influence of Israel and resentment against our unwarranted coup (Israel's worst nightmare)>1980 Hostage Crisis (Israel used this to get Americans angry at Islamists from the start)>Getting involved in Lebanon's civil war and attacking Libya in the 80s (Israel's most immediate threats at that time)>Gulf War (Israel was getting scared of Iraq, despite claims of "muh oil" we hardly received any, it was only for Israel's geopolitical benefit)>Sudan air strikes in the late 90s (appease Israel/Egypt occupied government and keep anger up against Islamists)>Optimism scares Israel in the 90s/early 2000s, cue 9/11>Afghanistan after 9/11 (Israel's best case scenario, we send our men to die weekly to fight Islam on their behalf while raising a whole generation to hate Islamists as the enemy)>Iraq War (Cause let's invade Iraq again and we'll tell ourselves we made up the shit about WMDs cause we needed oil and not because Israel is threatened)
>I want to read more books that will explain a lot about the nature of the world You think you want that...but you don't
>>18242375All of them can be explained by the geostrategic interests the US has as an empire. About the USS Liberty I don't know much though
>>18242371Thanks for leaving out the rest of the sentence subhuman niggerNobody cares about anything, but money, when America faced economic turmoil in the 70s there were political bombings every day for years and that wasn't even a particularly bad slump
>>18242349i think you would really enjoy this by alfred mccoy another must read is chaos by tom oniel. I would say those two and the israel lobby make up the big three books on shadow history
>>18242349tragedy and hope
>>18242349>MearsheimerUseful idiot for the Kremlin. I wouldn't trust anything that man says
