People that are being literally killed, tortured, displaced, bombed, denied their identity, starved, raped, genocided right now by China/Russia/North Korea, looking for any support, any help from anyone willing to give it

A Leftist American: US is the biggest source of imperialism in the world and you're not being oppressed by the US, so you're not real. Have a good day. takes a privileged slurp from the huge cup of Starbucks and closes his Macbook

Nice caricature, but it has nothing to do with my post. Pointing out that the US is the biggest source of imperialism doesn't mean no one else is doing bad things, but thanks for proving my point. Fuck Starbucks and Apple, by the way.

The whole point of the OP is that being against US imperialism doesn't mean you have to be very purposefully silent about yhe atrocities committed by the US geopolitical rivals because they are US enemies therefore good.

It's a very prevalent thing about US lefties, if you're not aware, I'm telling it to you, as a Ukrainian lefty myself. I agree, fuck Apple and Starbucks (never had one and heard from friends it's shit). Also fuck Russia for killing a bunch of my friends and fuck those US "leftists" like Chomsky, who suck Russian dicks.

One problem I see is that people feel like they have to work in absolutes or match their opinions 100% with everything within a group. How the grouping forms is not always clear, but apparently if one is associated with that grouping, they feel the need to defend everything in that grouping and attacking everything that isn't.

There is some discussion to be had in the role of the US using proxies to undermine global rivals, but that does not justify Russia invading Ukraine, nothing does. Absolutely, fuck Russia.
