Iraq War 2: Electric Boogaloo ctd. White Person Playlist

[Geist returns from his summertime posting slumber a little disheveled, a little bleary-eyed, a little side-swiped by reality]

Comrade Obama, so it seems, gifted 9/11 with a little Bar Mitzvah present. Another Middle Eastern war. A vague, endless war. The solidification of Bush's extension of Executive privileges. More surveillance. A war economy merged with the infotainment-industrial complex.

And after a summer of ridiculously self-congratulatory outrage posturing among the Left apparently this is where the outrage ends. Because perhaps this will hasten the end of American hegemony? Is there a little bit of warped #accelerationism in us all?

Instead, unfolding events have been met with a resigned ironism, which, let's be frank, never has been the earnest Leftist's strong-suit. How can you be funny when The Cause is at stake? The revolution will not be for the tricksters.

Anywho, let's actually jump down the superficially ironic shit hole that is po-mo nihilism and celebrate the continuation of the Iraq war with the (white person) playlist that got us there the second time.
