    A "socialist" is on the morning TV news in order to convince the journalist that his party is 100% in favour of NATO and rearmament unlike during the cold war where they were in favour of disarmament and diplomacy. Lots and lots of talk about "defending democracy", including this nugget:

    In the 1970's NATO was an instrument of American imperialism but today it is a democratic forum

    Western political discourse is completely fucked.

      This reminds me of the "Well, the CIA did bad shit back then, but now..." point and like... When did things change?

        The actual real answer is of course that it never changed, the same people are in charge or mentored the people who are in charge now, no one ever got punished and there was never any accountability or shame to dissuade doing the same things in the future.

          I mean, yeah, but apparently it's hard to drag people to water

            It can be quite satisfying to press them to name a date the CIA stopped being awful to see what they say, then list every atrocity after the date they pick though

        That's westoid anti-communist "socialists" (ie. succdems (ie. liberals)) for you. The most useless people imaginable.

        BTW the same "socialist" party voted for bulldozing social housing with too many non-whites in it. Completely utterly useless. They're worse than nothing.

        Imma be honest, I don't know what happened in 2011 that is relevant to this, but I do know that NATO has never not been an arm of Empire & that Socialists should never back the interests of a bourgeois state, so.

          NATO bombed Libya back to the slave age.

          It's a defensive alliance fighting for democracy and freedom, you see.
