Listening to Rock the Casbah in a bar (which makes me appreciate that the memory jukebox audio isn’t this thick\u2026), spinning up a story about how the “jet fighters” bit is actually part of a British processing of how WWII air warfare is what they pegged a lot of their postwar identity to but by 1982 they’re using the realization of their marginalization in that (the cutting edge is Arabs!) as a window to realize British post-imperial marginality in the world

Then realizing I’m not shitposting, that’s legitimate cultural analysis.

the British aero industry is famously kept up by making jet fighters to sell to Arabs.
