      I was gonna make a joke about how libs would respond like "no no no we can have a woman sit on a throne of dead Chinese skulls too, we want to kill the celestial as much as you do" but nope the libs beat me to it.

      At least the fascist on Tucker fucking admits to being a fascist murderer

    "Men who want to sit on a throne of Chinese skulls." Fascism is so normalized now that the average reactionary Epic Gamer can read that and go :so-true: and think about his grossly poor reading of Warhammer 40k and get really excited for the coming of a real life God-Emperor. Again. :trump-anguish:

      Okay. Let's criticise both sides. I'll have a go:

      1. The US is an empire of evil founded on genocide and slavery. It has never made any attempts to shed it's rotten core as is evidently demonstrated by its seeming inability to do anything except for inflicting misery on workers, at home and abroad. America has no right to exist in its current form. Death to America!
      2. Although generally moving in the right direction China is a bit slower than I would like at improving things like the access to healthcare as an inalienable right and the recognition of LGBT rights. China's seemingly lack of ambitions to spread the revolution might be strategically wise but as a leftist languishing under capitalism you sometimes wish you felt some kind of support from the world's greatest socialist nation.

      There, are you happy now liberals?

        Leftist seem to have forgotten that the US govt is the single most dangerous entity in the world. Those people criticizing China from a "leftist perspective", should start from home. Even if one's an ultra, China is infinitely better than the US. And I wouldn't go around pointing fingers at them first if one's living in the imperial core(North America excluding Mexico, Europe, Australia). White people can't even get any left wing concessions at home(despite all that compromise) but they're so eager to shit on AES countries. There is one aggressor and that is the west. Educate your friends and families. That's more praxis than shitting on AES countries.

          Very confusing reply. The comment you are replying to was agreeing with exactly this sentiment, by sarcastically listing off the mildest forms of criticism while at the same time praising China.

    I remember when a republican presidential candidate was like (on the subject of trans people in the military) "the purpose of the military is the kill people and break things" and people were so outraged by that, but it's literally true, it's just supremely evil to recognize that and still think it's a good thing.

      So were that to happen, the only feasible response is to do some shit that makes McCarhtyism look nice, right? It's not like anyone's going to let go of american exceptionalism and I think the least embarassing thing would be to claim your country has been undermined by spies, because that's cowardly or some shit and if it were a fair fight etc. etc.

        To make nukes offensively useful, you need to have enough to bomb the other countries nukes before they launch. Only USA and Russia have enough for this, and there is also nuclear submarines that ensure a follow up strike. Places like the dprk just need a few so they can ensure that the us wont invade them. More doesn't make much difference until you get a lot more.
