Russia would become imperialist if it could, but it presently isn’t in a position to[1], and our “support” is very limited[2].
China is in no way imperialist[3], and we’ve gone over Tibet, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Taiwan a thousand times already[4][5], even in this very post.
You're just linking to your own comments here (or linking to your own comments that then link to more of your own comments). Why bother? That's not an independent source of information it's just your personal opinion. This is peak echo-chamber behavior.
Seems your whole justification for why all these imperialist actions are 'a okay' boils down to everyone being a terrorist, a CIA plant, or they're being 'liberated' from the west. You're just mimicking the rhetoric we hear from every fascist dictator on a crusade. They never come out and just admit to being power hungry imperialists. They always make up the flimsiest justifications for why their abhorrent behavior is okay and people like you help them spread their message. Right now, you're the guy telling us about how all these brown people being kidnapped and trafficked to an El Salvadorian gulag are criminal terrorists here to destroy the US. If this were the 1960s you'd be the guy telling us how Vietnam is a threat to our freedom. If this were the 1930s, you'd be telling us that the Jews are a threat to our way of life. In all cases, you'd be quite wrong.
Because I brought a truckload of receipts to those comments.
That’s not how any of this works. If Hitler says the sky is blue, that doesn’t mean I’m mimicking him when I say it.
A straw man you just made up about me. I’ve never once mentioned El Salvador on Lemmy.
More imaginary stories you’re making up in your head about me. Deeply unserious.
Your "truckload of receipts" are just links to more of your own comments. That's not a receipt.
That's true, however if Hitler said "the Jews are terrorist cells that must be eradicated" to your "the Uyghurs are terrorist cells that must be eradicated" we'd have a much more accurate comparison of what is being stated here.
That was actually a comparison to your rhetoric. Do you think that I believe you were also alive in the 1960s and 1930s too?
Hmm where have I heard this verbiage before? What an odd turn of phrase to hear from two separate accounts replying to my single comment. Are you both the same person or is unique phrase just more "definitely not an echo-chamber" rhetoric?
Deeply unserious.
Wrong again. Here are the receipts from those comments of mine:
