About this episode
We’re being told that Iran has killed “over 2,000 Americans” over the past 47 years. That number isn’t random, and it isn’t neutral.
In this piece, I look at how casualty figures are framed to trigger emotional memory, why certain historical comparisons are invoked, and how war is sold to the American public. From Orwellian language to congressional politics, this isn’t just about foreign policy — it’s about how narratives shape consent.
