    "You can't just say America always bad, what about when they're on the good side?"

    Well what makes them on the good side?

    "They're fighting against the bad guys like Russia/China"

    Okay, well you can't just always say Russia Bad China Bad, what about when they're on the good side?

    "Well what makes them on the good side?"

    Well weakening the global military empire of the US is a good start, since that global military empire currently is the primary mechanism through which global capitalist imperialism is enforced onto the world at gunpoint, and anything that breaks the hegemonic control of that global military empire gives breathing room to liberation struggles around the world.

    "Okay, but you can't support dictators just because they weaken America"

    Why not?

    "Because what if America is on the good side?"

    What makes them on the good side?

    "Because they're fighting against the bad guys."

    Repeat Ad Infinitum.

      They're just hiding racism and they can't admit it to themselves or others. That's 90% of this. They want a leftist movement that caters specifically to their narrow racial and cultural interests. Everything else is frighting to them and forces them to admit they're from the imperial core.
