    I just don’t see how this inevitably has to be the consequence of one.

    Then you're clearly not paying attention; but that's to be expected of a Five Eyes vassal ig. You can say you're 'not defending any party' all you like, the very geopolitical viewpoint you've been propagandized into does that for you.

        They're being a bit antisocial and I don't defend that, but they're referencing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes , an intelligence agreement among the anglosphere, and then saying you're from a vassal state of that alliance (really just a vassal of the US).

            Socialists should seek to be pro-social in all contexts. Being bitter won't help you do anything but preach to the choir.

                As a member of a vassal state, it makes sense to thereby call the citizens vassals.

                  Ah yes, as we all know, family, friends, and poverty doesn't exist. So everyone is either complicit or will immediately move to whatever perfect country you think exists.

                    Vassalage is a term describing social position, not a moralism. Your indignation at this has no bearing on the fact and you sound just like the morons who say white privilege doesn't exist because poor white people exist.
