There is a huge leap from “america isn’t perfect but it’s an overall force for good in the world” to “america sucks” to “maybe AES are the good guys.” I have a friend who has made the leap to “america sucks” but he thinks socialism = concentration camps for everyone, China bad, etc. We haven’t had a serious conversation in a year or two now.

I have realised this now and it sucks. You can't even float "maybe AES are not Literally Hitler II" to these people, without them spewing nato talking points that stink of boot leather.
