Holy shit everyone are we really going to do this again?
“The USA is bad but Vietnam clearly attacked first in the Gulf of Tonkin.”
“Afghanistan housed the terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 so it’s okay if the USA commits mass murder there for twenty years.”
“The USA isn’t perfect but Saddam was a bad guy…”
“I don’t know anything about Syria but that Bashar Assad guy gunned down all those protesters…”
“Ukraine might not be perfect but we need to support them against [extremely vaguely defined] Russian imperialism.”
“Hamas hates gay people so it’s okay if Israel exterminates millions of Palestinians.”
“Guyana, a country which I did not know to exist yesterday, is extremely important in the fight against Venezuelan imperialism, which I have never mentioned until now.”
The reality is: if the corporate media says a country is bad, all that means is that country isn’t doing what the US ruling class wants. Venezuela deserves our support in its fight against imperialism.
Olympus has fallen 😔
The partition of India was one of the greatest disasters of the 20th century. A major factor in the Sino-Soviet split as well.
Voting for Democrats means you are actually voting for Republicans because Democrats do whatever Republicans want, serve the same class, and are themselves Republicans. So not voting is actually harm reduction. Voting just helps Republicans.
Is that a bad thing?
But have they considered the fact that Russia bad and history began the instant Putler invaded Ukraine and that I am extremely intelligent because I trust corporate news sources which lied about Iraq’s WMDs without any consequences?
Maybe you’re new here, but fascism and liberalism are two sides of the capitalist coin. Liberals stopped masking almost the instant Biden set foot in the White House, despite the fact that 2/3 of covid deaths occurred while Biden was office (liberals will also excuse Biden’s “inaction” while claiming that Trump, who occupied the same office, was a tyrannical authoritarian totalitarian dictator who ran roughshod over the hallowed institutions of our precious democracy). Capitalism is a death cult, workers should run the world, not bourgeois scum and their running dogs.
“Of course America was bad back then but we need to support America against Russia now because imperialism is when a country does stuff!”
Since you sound like an expert who has really done your homework here, let’s see some of these stunning pictures you’re talking about and then compare them to photos from America’s prisons. I wonder which will look worse? Doesn’t the USA also lock up far more people per capita than China?
Do a google image search for “Uyghur genocide.” Report back with any interesting images you find. This has been going on for twenty years now, surely there must be some pretty gruesome photos somewhere, comparable at least to the images of the Haitians deported by Biden to make room for Ukrainians in a totally not racist way?
The ring perceived…its time had come!
