I thought the drone came mic guy was being pretentious. His cartoon makes the point about US imperialism and pseudo liberalism in a very effective manner and does not interfere with anyone who might want to offer a platform for the victims of drone bombing if anything, by writing this essay he is doing the same thing all over again.
I thought the essay was an example of something we need to see less elaborate performative meta analysis as virtue signaling.
Our supposed liberal humanitarian foreign policy is murderous. That is the main message. The cartoon effectively makes that point.
