Not interested in the takes of someone who has barely expended a breath calling out genocide

“No one is uniquely evil everyone is bad but Russia and non western countries are worse than the west; I deserve patreon bux for this highly novel opinion you can’t find anywhere else”

“I got depression because people got mad at me for simping for democrats in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and that’s my whole personality now it was really bad I was inside all the time and took drugs I had door dash for every meal and was able to always pay my rent/bills also the fact that you’re referring to that privilege is making me even more depressed and victimized”

I'll never understand why it's so hard for some people to understand that the US is literally an evil empire that exploits, oppresses, and murders people all over the world. Of course all rightwing governments suck, but it's easy to see that the US is the primary enemy of leftist movements across the planet. If we want communism, we need the US to collapse and movements all over the place preventing the vacuum from being filled by something worse.

Idk seems like anyone left of liberals would understand this.

"I'm comfortable which means the US can't be that bad"

Similar reasoning for why suburbanites generally don't care about police violence.

In many cases it's because they live in that empire and benefit from its economic subjugation of the world.

They are uniquely evil tho and i'm pretty far from being a tankie

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

''campist'' is becoming the new Tankie lmao

Commie → tankie → campist → contraäntidisestablishmentarianist

I mean this isn't entirely wrong. I do think the Western powers are a unique evil that must be destroyed by any means necessary, and am willing to extent critical support to any and all who oppose their hegemony.

I'm a lot more anti-ethnic cleansing than I am pro-liberal democracy. If one side of a conflict is doing ethnic cleansing, and the other side's biggest failure (relative to the first side's) is not being a liberal democracy, I'm taking the side that's stopping ethnic cleansing 10 times out of 10.

Also, FWIW, Ukraine's political system is obviously is at least as corrupt and antidemocratic as Russia, and the other obvious example is Israel, which doesn't even give equal voting rights to all Palestinians. So even if you were a Fukuyamist who only cared about which side is a liberal democracy, you still can't make the argument to support the West in either conflict just based on that. All roads lead to us-foreign-policy

Really it’s more a question of how much red carpet they lay out for Western corporate interests. Saudi Arabia is a majority Muslim country led by a monarchy that offs journalists for being critical of them. But they get the pass from international-community-1international-community-2 because they play nice with the oil industry.

The US is a far-right oligarchy, especially when it regards foreign policy.

it is uniquely evil as well (implied by context she disagrees with it, but not stated directly).

my boys from regrettable century were right, "neither washington nor moscow (but actually washington)" is kind of disease of some subtype of leftists since 70s (there is no moscow now even, so they just do "neither washington or insert_baddie_name (but actually washington)")

probably flows from ignoring imperialism and thus no campist logic leads one to "..except current one"

"Sure the US can be bad, but Russia/Iran/Syria/China is no angel"

Maybe she believes, like Obama does, that decade after decade of the US acting like a mafia with a trillion dollar army and using any and all means to pursue world domination is fine because it's better us doing it than them.
