There are 2 rightwing parties in the US. If you are a leftwing voter and live in the empire or any of its vassal states, you’re wasting your time.
lol, every .world user.
There’s a difference in hating/disliking people because of unchangeable circumstances and hating regimes.
I’m also a fan of “junta”
Except without a red line and just a gradual scale, yes.
ah I see we’re dealing with sophisticated and nuanced racism here
Is it really so hard for yall to believe that Everybody Sucks Here?
A better question is why it’s so easy for you to believe such nonsense.
Get ready to be asked for the time in Moscow/Shanghai by the nuanced McCarthyists
True leftism is “when America bad” and the more “America bad” you spout, the more to the left you are. Having nuanced and principled opinions is inferior to campism, gotcha.
The US has 800+ external military bases. All other countries combined have < 20.
This doesn’t refute my argument
US imperialism, and more specifically, the division of the world into rich and poor countries (which US imperialism upholds with its military, dollar hegemony, and media dominance), is the primary evil in the world today.
When you accuse people pointing this out, of being “campist un-nuanced america-hating tankies”, you’re just showing your ignorance of the reality of images like the one above.
If you think you’re gonna bait me into defending or denying America’s history of foreign intervention then you’ve got another thing coming. It happened. Plenty of it is downright evil.
But sadly, it’s not uniquely evil. Russia is waging an imperialist war of aggression and attempting a genocide of the Ukrainians, all while enriching their oligarchs as their civilians starve. China is repressing the Tibetans, committing genocide against the Uyghurs to create a Han ethnostate, threatening Taiwan, and is violating maritime borders in the South China Sea with their expansion of their naval presence.
Dissent, especially in China, is heavily policed. They took our dystopian monetary credit system and cranked it up to 11 with social credit, and work their people to the bone with companies in the country defying the ban on the 996 schedule enforcement. Russia considers LGBT people as a whole dissenters and arrests them simply for existing. Prominent political dissidents of Putin are simply murdered.
The fact that you and I are allowed to post about America’s past transgressions and speak highly critically of the government (and believe it or not, I do that quite a lot) is proof that we as a global superpower are freer than them, and principally why I categorically reject the notion that we are the world’s primary evil. It’s just not that simple. But I’ll take our flawed, bourgeois democracy over domination by than the outright fascist rule by our competitors.
But above all that I prefer peace and freedom. No more violence in Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Ukraine, Tibet, and Xinjiang. Civil rights and decent living conditions for all.

Interesting. Why did the US go after Assange, Snowden, and Manning btw?
As usual, you gave zero evidence for any of your assertions. Every single one of your pro-US propaganda talking points have been disproved. Some links elaborating on them are in here.
Well said
You didn’t make an argument.
stay mad dronie
You can call it “nuance” all you want, it doesn’t change that such a critical stance is always rooted in state department propaganda.
Western “leftists” trust imperialists more than foreign PoC, which surprises nobody.
So instead, we should trust… The other ogliarchic and blatantly fascist empires?
Call me crazy, but I don’t think unapologetic fascism is “leftist.”
So “fascism” is when not ruled by whites?
Why do you believe the US and anglophone-media when they demonize their main enemies, and say that they’re no different? You should take anything a serial liar says with an extreme grain of salt.
No one said I do.
Then how did you come by that particular conclusion? Because if it’s not just out and out racism, surely you can link it to verify it’s not just a State Department proxy going “Anonymous sources confirm ALL minorities in China being tortured right the fuck now”
Nationalism is the stupidest thing humans have created regardless of who their propaganda affects and how.
China and the DPRK are oppressive, authoritarian states, and we should defend Ukraine’s right to self determination. I guess that completely nullifies my socialist beliefs because I don’t blindly love every government that brands itself as communist
The censorship here never changes lol
Citizens in China of all ethnicities are satisfied with their government, even Harvard, Pew, and Statista quote a number higher than 90%.
If they’re authoritarian, what is Klanada, where like 30% were satisfied with the government but all their options are somehow “the same” or “more nazi”?
Ah yes, Ukraine’s right to self determination after the west overthrows the democratically elected government and turns it into a literal dictatorship where elections have been cancelled. Thank you for providing a human face to the meme.
lol what
As per usual, obliviousness in place of an argument from red libs
Either that or engaging with such incredible lies is a waste of time. But hey, they said something you don’t like, so “red lib.”
What lies are you talking about?
🦗 🦗
I happen to agree with you on those but (much like yourself, probably) disagree with the US State dept on Cuba and Israel. Which I reckon makes me more of a leftist than all those tankies simping for Russia, which hasn’t had anything to do with communism for over 3 decades.
Lmao. Lenin had it right with “Left Communism: an Infantile Disorder”. You’re not a better leftist because you agree to hate the enemies of the US on their schedule while toothlessly condemning the US in the way they approve of.
