The frameworks adopted by the press throughout the war on terror very typically were disinterested in finding the human beings who endured the war. It very often described moslems in the most dhumanizing possible ways, refugees as well. There's so much euphemism that just lie, colonized, for lack of a better term,. And none of it had any historical context at all. Very little of it willing to engage in any kind of material critique of what this thing was and what that meant.
Episode three of The Dig’s War on Terror trilogy with Spencer Ackerman: Decadence, Trump, and Biden.
