Every US President Is A War Criminal

Satirical ridicule of the 2023 coronation of King Charles III.
Criticizes monarchy as a relic of imperialism and absurd symbolism: crowns, jewels, hats.
Koh-i-Noor diamond singled out as a stolen artifact from India.
Crown described as extravagant, ridiculous, and rooted in colonial violence.
British Museum mocked as a storehouse of looted goods.
Attendees (e.g., Katy Perry, Tom Cruise) symbolize the blending of imperial kitsch and U.S. soft power.
Coronation likened to a pageant or theme park, completely detached from real political relevance.

Recurring joke: Power = Hats.
From monarchs to clergy to popes—rank is marked by headgear.
Absurdity of ruling classes and religious elites boiled down to fashion and hierarchy by appearance.

No president has meaningfully challenged capitalist hegemony.
Politicians like Nancy Pelosi mocked for being more focused on stock trades than public good.
Capitalism is described as the core ideology behind both U.S. domestic and foreign policy—shared across party lines.

An introduction to a series covering terrible U.S. presidents, beginning with George Washington and Woodrow Wilson.

Washington described as a brutal colonizer, slaveholder, and genocidal military leader.
Known for:
- Owning vast land (30 km²) and using enslaved labor.
- Ordering the total destruction of Native villages, including crops and settlements.
- Quote: “Do it in the most effectual manner that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed.”
- Nicknamed the “Town Destroyer”.
Hypocrisy: championed democracy and equality while excluding Native Americans and enslaved people from civil rights.
Native Americans denied citizenship until 1924; full voting rights only implemented in 1948.

Washington’s aesthetic (powdered hair, corsets) mocked as superficial signs of “civilization.”
Conservative commenters defending him are lampooned (“liberal soy boys” meme).
Joke: “Washington is less interesting than the pronunciation of ‘kilometer.’”

Used propaganda to push WWI, fostering hatred of Germans and suppressing dissent.
Stripped civil liberties during war: pamphlets, letters, books censored.
Arrested thousands, including:
- Eugene Debs, a socialist leader, for opposing U.S. militarism.
Promoted white supremacist policies (covered more in full episodes of this series).

Conversational, casual, often intentionally off-topic and absurd.
Heavily reliant on satire, deadpan delivery, meme culture, and dark humor.
Jokes about bodily functions and flirtation woven into political critique.
Despite irreverence, underlying arguments are serious and well-researched.
