Oh yes, the left has never protested against the crimes of the USA and that also justifies anything a horrible dictatorship does. I reflect on it while I see the protests of the left in the third world against the horrible and anti-American dictatorships
And what do those protests aim to replace the “terrible dictatorship” with? Yeah, a pro American actual dictatorship.
Oh, and one more thing: dictatorships aren’t made by individuals, they’re lead by classes, the “dictator” is merely the one who carries out the interests of said class. Therefore, Fascism is the most extreme form of capitalism, the naked dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, just like socialism is the dictatorship of the proletariat.
did your post manage to quiet the little voice in your head that whispers about how capitalism is turning the planet into a charcoal briquette?
You know, you're right. A better version of this meme would be the first world leftists complaining about U.S. imperialism when it happens... then still lining up right behind the State Department when anyone fights back.
Complaining while it happens? More like, hand-wringing 5-10 years afterwards about how it was a "regrettable necessity"
You're the guy on the left side of the meme.

Very funny when they come on to justify the exact behaviour we make fun of them for, but their defence of their behaviour is to just...state it? There's no argument here, just "Nu-uh! This is right and good behaviour actually!"
