So just 4 days ago we had huge thread about how great she is because she criticized US imperialism and immediately after that she's actively participating in the same imperialism. Also her position on Ukraine remains afaik unchanged, still supporting that fascist and ecocidal imperial puppet. How it is even possible to reconcile, is she two different people or what?

This seems very on brand for her tbh, did people really think she went full Marxist Leninst because she mentioned imperialism a few times?

Maybe not full ML but at least solidly antiimperialist, yes.

Nah. Lots of liberals like using words like imperialism and will call Russia imperialist. There's a liberal anti-warism that's for Ukraine, for Palestine but also regularly duped into supporting color revolutions like Hong Kong and calling Chinese efforts to prevent color revolutions "imperialism" because they live in this moment to moment vacuum devoid of historical context or understanding of material and historical forces.

there is a commonly used liberal definition of imperialism which is "when big country invades (or meddles in, or even just makes deals with) smaller country"
