Graham Bates<p>In this image I tried to weave together indigenous Australian dot-painting technique with Byzantine mosaics of Jesus and Hindu depictions of various deities to try to signify common threads between Eastern and Western forms of philosophical Idealism as well as the indigenous Australian 'Dreamtime'. Notice the eyes looking up toward the figure's right hemisphere.<br>.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastodonart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodonart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>idealism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mysticism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mysticism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spirituality</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotpainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotpainting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watercolour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watercolour</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acrylic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acrylic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pattern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pattern</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/halo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>halo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/androgynous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>androgynous</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"For Chomsky and Robinson, these claims are nonsense. Not only did the young American republic fulfill its Manifest Destiny by waging a genocidal campaign against the indigenous population, but it has since backed a bevy of brutal dictatorships, intervened to thwart democratic processes in many countries, and waged or backed wars that killed millions of people in Indochina, Latin America, and the Middle East, all while falsely claiming to be defending freedom, democracy, human rights, and other cherished ideals. U.S. officials are quick to condemn others when they violate international law, but they refuse to join the International Criminal Court, the Law of the Sea Treaty, and many other global conventions. Nor do they hesitate to violate the United Nations Charter themselves, as U.S. President Bill Clinton did when he went to war against Serbia in 1999 or as President George W. Bush did when he invaded Iraq in 2003. Even when undeniably evil acts are exposed—such as the My Lai massacre, the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, and the CIA’s torture program—it is low-level personnel who get punished while the architects of these policies remain respected members of the establishment.</p><p>The record of hypocrisy recounted by Chomsky and Robinson is sobering and convincing. No open-minded reader could absorb this book and continue to believe the pious rationales that U.S. leaders invoke to justify their bare-knuckled actions."</p><p><a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15/chomsky-foreign-policy-book-review-american-idealism/#cookie_message_anchor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/15/c</span><span class="invisible">homsky-foreign-policy-book-review-american-idealism/#cookie_message_anchor</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Idealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Idealism</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ForeignPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForeignPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chomsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chomsky</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Warmongers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Warmongers</span></a></p>
